I will agree that those are some nice tires but what we need to remember is that when you change brands of tires your bikes geometry will change. This may be why your bike feels like it handles better. It may not have been set up right to begin with and now that you have different tires on it handles the way it should. On the track, every time we change brands of tires we have to go through and adjust the height of the forks and shock to compensate for the difference.
As far as my experiance with the pilot powers... I put a set on my 900 before I took the trip to red lodge. I ended up with about 4,500 miles on them. The rear is starting to square off a little from all the interstate miles but they have held up nicely and were great shreding up the mountian roads.
Just remember that the way your bike "feels" can be caused by MANY different things.
