Which conti tyre?

Well, now you have PR3s too, but I'm not really interested in trying them because the 2s are cheaper, and I generally reach my limits before the tyres reach theirs. If I'm able to ride almost as fast with as much confidence in the wet as the dry on the PR2s, as is the case, then I'm more than happy. I'm not going to suddenly turn into Rossi/whoever overnight cos I've switched tyres, nor do I have a desire to. Do you see where I'm coming from? You could give me the best bike in the world, I still won't be the best rider in the world, but if I'm happy in my confidence/ability, well then, that's ok by me.  Smile

But if you see PR2s at half price, that's another matter, let me know would you?  :lol


I don't like posting my mate said his mate etc but-
According to Burwins mechanics after a discussion with the michelin dealer the pr3's are exactly the same rubber compound as the pr2's, the only difference being the design of the sipes to expel the water, if you mainly ride sunny days then the extra £'s won't be worth having the newer pr3's, which makes the pr2's quite a bargain tbf!
Some say...
