I had Power Roads too, and didn’t think much of them from the perspective of feel and handling; they never felt solid and hooked up. I don’t recall what I did with those, but I think I took a bad cut and trashed them.
Anyway, this season I’ve been on the successor to the Power Road, the Power Cup, and it’s definitely a greatly improved tire. The Power Cups are lively, supple, and connected; I did a few rainy rides with them in the hills back in spring, and they were flawless. They continue to be into the summer, so I’m really confident on these tires.
Long story short: give Michelin Power Cup a try!
