Enhanced Agility: Revised profile for quicker turn-in and more linear mid-corner behavior β ideal for flickable handling. Longer Tread Life: Optimized compound wear rates allow better mileage than the Power 5, while still sport-focused. Great Wet Confidence: Michelin continues to lead with wet grip; Power 6 maintains silica-based compounds and groove design for rain traction.
