Hi GB. I have always enjoyed the Michelins PR I & II's. Good tyres with long life. I also fitted some PR3's to a CBR600, but sold it a few months later.
So when it came to buying tyres for the Fazer last week, I rang around for prices on PR3's again, but was advised by two separate suppliers to choose the Metzeler Z8's because it had become known that although the PR3's were an improvement in actual tyre performance, they weren't lasting as long as the PR2 :eek
Of course tyre life depends on so many variables, so it might not be the case with you. I'll be interested to see how you go on. How many miles a year do you do?
