The PR3s lasted for 7100 and 5600 miles. The 2nd one had more mileage in it, but was punctured (see below)
The 1st PR4 went for 9750. Money was tight at this point, so I plugged the old PR3 and ran it for another 1200, taking it to a total of 7800, when it punctured again and I couldn't justify a repair at that mileage.
Only up to 1700 on the 2nd PR4.
As for feel, when I switched from the PR3 to the PR4 I wasn't so keen. It felt like the tyre was taller in the middle and tipped differently (imaging the two ends of an egg- the wide end being PR3 and the pointy end the PR4). This feeling was confirmed when I switched back to the worn PR3. I went with a PR4 again to see if I was imagining it, but I wasn't.
My next tyre choice may depend on the mileage I get out of it. If it gets around the same as the last PR4 I may go for another one, just for value for money. However if it's not as good on the mileage, then I may go for the PR3 for riding feel.
Nice review there fella......just to confuse me even more. :lol
Was kinda going towards the PR4 but you just put me back towards the PR3 again. Good description with the egg. :thumbup
