Title: Tyres - PR3 or 4?
Post by: clunkie66 on 15 March 2014, 06:47:07 pm

Picked up a nail in my rear today so rather than get it repaired (am a bit unsure anyway) so have decided to change the ContiMotion which I'm not keen on for a pair of michelins.

Anyone tried the new PR4s? They're supposed to be longer lasting and better in the wet than the PR3s.

Any suggestions?

I just got a new PR3 rear but that was only because the front wasn't worn out - if I were replacing both I'd try the PR4 for sure.

A fiver for both front and rear, so nothing in it really. Just wondered what the difference is in compound, if any.

Only one way to find out......... :D

And don't forget to give a full report on how they perform!

Will give the PR4s a go - will be racking up 400-500 miles next weekend so will report back on performance.
