It seems that Michelin have recalled some of their Pilot Powers. If you are running them, you may want to check!

How crap is that, Rossi loses out so they then try to palm them off on the buying public

Bloody frog firms.

It seems from the pictures on the MCN website that the tyres may be delaminating

No, I called it delaminating

..... but whatever we call it, it's pretty frightening

I'm with Gio on this one, that's a bit worse than delaminatiion, looks more like a massive law suit to me.
Glad I didn't suggest 'em!
Just fitted a new BT 021 on the rear of mine, only done 130 miles on it but seems very good so far. Never had a problem in the past with BT020s.

Bridgestones are where it's at. Mind you my rear 020 did give a little shudder a couple of weeks ago as it decided to have a wee slide at an extreme lean angle (off the edge) I really thought I was off.

Stayed on though and tried realhard to make it look as if I meant it to the admiring hoards

Never mind FF, I used to sing the praises of Bridgestones 020's, until I had 2 rears lose their shape on me, that was alarming as well.

Don't worry, it happens to many as the years catch up with them. These may help:
