    Hi guys,
    Just wondering what tyres people run on their blades.
    I used s22s but front used to wear funny on the front but were good in all weathers.

    Currently have michelin power gp on which are awesome in dry but cant say I've been lucky enough to try them in wet.
    Has anyone used the michelin power 5 on their blades or the road 6. What are your thoughts and experiences with them.

    Plenty of threads about tyres. Its all personal choice at the end of the day as different tyres suit each individuals needs and riding styles. You'll only truly know what suits you by trying them out.

    Perfect example is that I use S22's. I swear by them. Never had any funny wear. I get semi decent mileage from them ~2000miles on a rear. But you have mentioned they don't suit you so you can see how it can be different for the individual.

    And you don’t seem to be able to get S22s at the moment. I need a rear.

    I had a set of Power 5s on my 2017. The rear was replaced after about 4000 miles and it still had some life left. The second rear had about 1000 miles on it when I sold the bike and the original front was still in good shape. I was happy with them but I suspect I'm not good enough to explore their limits and wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the Power 5s and similar offerings from the other manufacturers.
