Michelin Power tire?

[bnc]

I have a 2001 Reflex. I changed from the Bridgestone HOOP to the Michelin City Grips about two months ago. The City Grips have a higher speed rating than the Bridgestone. Since I spend most of my time on the freeway the added safety of the higher speed tire was appealing. I thought about buying the tools to change the tire myself but when a local store offered to change the tire and balance it for $20 it was hard to refuse. I have gone over 80 mph on downhills on GPS with the City Grips and they are perfect.

I thought about the Power Pures but there seemed to be agreement that they have a shorter life and might be less capable in the rain. Price wise they were about the same as City Grips but City Grips are supposed to be not as sporty as the Power Pure.
