Its alaff aint it !...just how many fazer owners have had 020 s on their bikes...maybe hundreds of thousands of biking miles, without incident.
FFS dont listen to them !...I can heartily endorse the 023, have been using them for last 2 yrs on my fazer , my third set now.Outstanding edge grip, have ground out even the crash bobbins it leans so far.
I will look to try PR3s, but if they dont last significantly longer than 5 k , they are not worth another £40 extra a pair ( which is what my tyre dealers are quoting). TBH all tyres have gone up this year, but Michelins have always been dearer in my locale.I do take yer point about the economic evaluation...but I also factor in how I use my tyres, and I just have never had any grippy tyre last over 5k.Must be my throttle happy hand ! :lol
