I cant fault the 023s.I have ridden 10k miles on them in the last year on 2 quite diffrent motorcycles.... I have not found a better tyre to date. In terms of grip and mileage they are a fantastic combo to what has come before. I tested mine in hundreds of miles of cold wet foggy alpine passes in july without issue, and at the other extreme I did a trackday at cadwell on 30 sept where the dry grip was outstanding. I have never leant a bike so far or so hard in all my years of riding.The side compound is almost like a racetec. Yet I still can get up to 5000 miles from a rear .
I also like roadsmarts , and there is a new roadsmart2 about to come out.
PR3 so far have had some raves from the press about wet weather grip, though dry grip supposed to be suspect ( you cant have everything can you ! ) but little opinion on forums( that I have seen) ....save the topic where the tyre chunked up in extreme heat...like a racing wet might do !
Its my opinion, but its from proper real road miles, not pub bragging...
