Michelin Pilot City on LX150, first impression. Got it changed on my own with the info here on MV.

Compared to my dangerously worn Perelli the new rubber is impressive. Not like I am driving a new scoot, but I think that it absorbs the expansion joints in the pavement a bit better.

The biggest difference is the balance, I always just accepted the vibration from the old tire, but now I feel that it is quite a bit smoother.

No report on stickiness or wet handling yet, I only had a few min for a quick trip to 60 mph and back again (and I could not make it rain ).

Thanks for everyone's advice and guidance.

It's definitely a good tire - had 'em on my LX from Italy.

The Pilot City is a good tire. I liked it much more than the Pirellis.
I rode on these as my rear until I began my recent love affair with the Heidenau K61. Just hoping it lasts 5.5K or more.
