REF:-recall its Pilot Power 2CT and Pilot Power 120/70 ZR 17 front motorcycle tyres
Saw a post on here about the recall and typical I had to arrange a replacemnt for the RR
Phoned ‘Michelin’ on Monday with my details, They phoned me back Wednesday and gave me a tag number and tyre turned up Friday @ Essential Rubber, popped down their in the afternoon and got it fited.
Five days in total, was well amazed with the turn around that Michelin did for me. Just got to run it in know!!
I’ve been waiting ages. I called them on 16th June and heard nothing so I called them again last Wednesday to stress that it’s urgent and my bike is my only form of transport and they sent one one for me to a tyre shop they recommended. It got there and the place doesn’t do bike tyres!! Got to wait for another one to be sent out now.
Spoke to Rob (good bloke) at Michellin today and he said 1-2 week wait…He explained the situation of limited stocks, and I explained that I had a track day on the 19th.
He said that Michellin have suggested that one can either wait for the 2CT or can have a standard Pilot Power. The company have run tests and found that you can mix and match these tyres, but in my case (because of the track day) he said I should not do this.
He’s marked me down as urgent and said the new tyre will be waiting for me at FWR (where I bought original) sometime later this week
Sherrie, I think maybe you spoke to a muppet because I can’t understand why they didn’t ask you where to send the tyre so that you could just tell them your local fitter.
yep same boat - track day booked, need to get myself armed in some quality rubber sharpish (ahem). first person told me 2 week lead time roughly. call back said it’d be there on thurs…
Call Michelin and say it’s important you get them asap. I called them a on Tuesday and the next day it arrived at FWR just in time for me to go to Assen!
Mine should be arriving at Southern Cross today - fingers crossed. Thinking about it though, I probably should have just waited as my tyre is pretty new. Could have got more use out of it!!
