Michelin Pilot Powers- wet weather

I got my bike in Feb, & although I'd ridden on damp roads, I hadn't ridden it in full wet conditions until Saturday, when it was torrential rain in the morning. I ought to add that I had not, until Sat, ridden a m/c in the wet for nearly 20 years. I gave it a lot of thought before setting out. I got my head right and was not at all nervous. I definitely did not *****foot around on a mixture of urban roads and a short stretch of motorway. I avoided the manhole covers and watched out for the adverse cambers.

The Michelin PPs were faultless. Now our wet season has started they'll be plenty more wet riding over the next few months. These tyres are pretty darn good in the dry & now they've started to prove themselves in the wet it'll take a lot of convincing for me to change to anything else. They've done 4,500 km and the rear has only just started to go a bit square.
A big so far.
