Now that's interesting. Yes, I went for PR2s again because it was said they're the same compound as the 3s, just different sipe pattern. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming those that said this, cos I know there's a lot of disinformation out there when it comes to these things (and I too took it as gospel), and anyway, the 2s are good enough that I'm happy with them anyhows. But it was only going to be £15 dearer for a rear to go with the 3s. I didn't cos I'm one to stick with what I know. But if anyone else who went from 2s to 3s can confirm these improvements, then I guess I'd be daft not to do it next time around. (I am of course talking to thou owners here).
So thanks for that Pat
I can vouch for the upgrade to PR3 from PR2, I had the PR2 on the 1000 and 600, whereas they were only ok on the 600 they were terrible on the 1000, after almost losing the front for the third time,
I took them off and tried the PR3 as they were a huge improvement over the PR2s on the 600. They are also a vast improvement for both wet grip and wear over the PR2s on the 1000 .
I still for the life of my cannot understand how anyone can get more than 6000 out of a rear tyre.
Do any of you do a little spirited riding?
The left side of mine are completly shot by 4500 and the only time I ever get 6000 miles out of a rear tyre was when I go touring on the continent and right side wears more due to road camber and roundabouts.
