Any of you have any personal experience, good or bad, with these tires? Am considering these as my Power Pures are expiring.

I am a big fan. I have them on my BMW and my wifes gixxer. I like the feedback and I am getting good life from them. I ran the Q2's before and while the traction was good, they didn't last for shit.
As far as use; I have used them at HPR, a ton of canyon riding, and for touring.

I know they aren't identical, but I have the SuperCorsa's (200/55) and they have nothing on Michelin.

Have been on them for about two months now.
Grip: excellent, wet or dry,
Wear: don't know yet, but seem to be holding up well.
I love them so far... Hope I can get more miles than the q2's.

I am using them for the first tme. My initial impression is that they have very good grip, even when cold.
They came stock on Gemma, and they seemed okay. Grippy enough with good feedback, and no major drama while they were still warming up. Tread life was about what you'd expect from a supersport tire.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

I have about 2000 miles on my first set. Several 100 highway miles and a trip to Deals Gap. They held up good and I would say very comparable to the Rosso II. They handled the heat and grip demands of a Deals gap trip and they were blue when I got home.
Overall I would say you will not be dissapointed.
