So I haven''t done much riding in the rain, but I''m at my fiances house and its raining, and I rode over here. Do you guys know how will Michelin Powers do in the rain? I know they are GREAT on dry pavement...

they''ll be fine... obviously rain riding is quite different. but just take is easy.. you''ll still have quite good grip. I have dunlops 208 and i''ve ridden them in really heavy rain and they worked out fine. One thing i caution is wait till the first ten minutes or so of rain to come down then go. If you go to early then the rain picks up the oil and all the stuff on the road and makes it slippery... so wait till that passes and the tires will do their job!
