It's a bit of a tricky thing really, certainly trying to set a lower pressure expecting the tyre to heat up to get the correct pressure on the road is never going to work well.

As Kato says, on a track it is perfect as speeds and grip surface are consistent lap after lap and you can obviously adjust them to suit the conditions.

Personally I am not a fan of Michelins on my Monster (I have Pilot Road 3's on)- they have never slipped when pushing on (except for the usual wet railway crossings/manhole covers etc.) but Monsters can be a little prone to wheel spin in slippy conditions. Initially they slowed the steering making it feel very vague to me until I adjusted the suspension to suit. They do seem to be lasting forever though.

Your rear tyre is undersized (should be a 170/60x17) so may be a contributing factor but under what situations are you getting it to break away?
