5th place: As a MotoGP tire supplier, Michelin has now filled the power family’s specifications with super-sporty content. The Michelin Power RS ​​scores on the racetrack, but the everyday practicality known from the Power 3 falls by the wayside.

With the Power RS, Michelin is literally turning the racetrack performance of the Power family upside down. While the Power 3 was the last in the 2016 test, the RS now sets the top performance in the strong test field. Highlights: feedback, stability and endurance.

The ultra-stable rubber will not be for everyone on the country road. Compared to its predecessor, the RS has lost a bit of comfort and handiness.
