Tyre question

[darrsi]

As it's topically been resurrected, the PR4 on the rear has been nothing short of fantastic!
STILL never even had the slightest slip regardless off weather.

Yes I am defiantly replacing them, could be PR4 or BT030 but wondered why the pp2CTs have not been mentioned. They sound like they are very soft and wear down quick which is exactly what I need so I am not tempted to keep them on so long cause they are old yet still have lots of wear

I would be happy if I could get a rear to last 2k miles and a front about 3.5k.

On what tyres

[fazersharp]

Yep my tyres are old before they are worn and there has to be a good reason why the Manufacture date is stamped on them but why is it not an MOT issue when silly (in comparison) issues like not having a working horn can fail you.

PR2s second rear just fitted 2100miles out last one. The wear is pretty even over the width of the tyre. Wear my car tyres out quick too so must be me nothing wrong with the tyres

Its a bit like Samsung and Apple, they try to convince us that we must have the latest version of their product as it has a 5 times faster processor or they are grippier than the last model. Or, is it that their last model was crap really, and this new one they are singing the praises of now will also be crap next year.

on my FZ1-S I've been in PR2 for ages.  Did try PR3 and noticed little difference other than rear only lasting 2.5k miles.  PR2 rear lasts me for 4k miles and 2:1 rear/front replacement ratio (just).  Last set were Roadtec 01s (on offer where I go £30 off pair ) - in comparison to PR2 the 01s never spun up once in the wet (good) but rear squared off badly and no way front was going to last two rears.    Got 4k out of the rear.Now have Road 5 set on (these were on offer this time - £30 off pair) - tread pattern looks 'good' - time will tell - tbh if these hadn't been on offer I'd have gone for a set of PR2 again.


When I had my six my regular tyre was 020, 021, 023 - tried 016 once (in the dry they were fantastic - but rear didn't last long 2k miles)


Update Sep 2018:  PR5 - rear lasted 4k!  front about 1k left to go - gone back to PR2s!  At least I know I've got another 4k miles to go!
