Michelin Power Shift

Last May I got a set of Michelin Pilot Road 4 to replace my (much too early worn out) Shinkos and they are vastly better than those Shinkos. From now on nothing but Michelins on my BMWs. I have Road 6s on my K1600 and those are also super. I would expect these Power Shifts to also be very good.

Michelin tires are better , BUT the prices just keeps going into an insane price zone . Are they really worth pay 30% for tires

So far the Road 6's on my K1600 have 8,000 miles on them and look like they will easily go another 5,000, so that's 13,000 miles compared to maybe 4,000 I got out of the Shinkos. So yes they are worth a 30% premium if I understood your post correctly. More important though for me is the much better ride and road holding quality of the Michelins.

I've run the metzler feel frees from the beginning (102800km) 7 front and 7 back tires.
I tried a michelin road pilot front once but I didn't like the profile. It's almost as if it dropped off

Installed the rear tyre only. Front is still Power 4.
It is a bit wonky, not perfect like Power 4 was. I sometimes feel the rear wheel overrun and small play when decelerating, and the ASC keeps this in check.
Power 4 were the best for sure. Maybe installing the front Power Shift will change my opinion, later.
