So far loving them.


They "feel" great and grip well and are more than handling my - at this time of the year - ****ty commute.
Semi dark, twisty, wet, slick, gravel strewn - due to recent massive puddles - fast A roads.


I think I prefer them to my Roadsmart 2's.


But then I am no expert.

arrrrggg. just fitted a set of PR3's at end of season...... wish i had known i would have held off.

Re: Pilot Road 4
 

Let the others test em out for ya Lance. I'm back using PR2s on the street. Could be next year before I get the chance to try the 4s as I've got a fresh set sitting in the garage. But I'm looking to see the reviews before I "upgrade"

I'm fitting PR3s I think. I shall wait until the fours have some unbiased reviews before I give them a crack.

Great feedback. If they are usable on track in those kind of cold and mixed conditions, they will be more than capable for the road. I think some will be surprised at the dry grip. Really this will come down to "feel" between the different brands. I know someone who ran Bridgestones and hated what he called the "movement" in the PR3's. They were durable enough but he just didn't like the tread movement on corner exit full throttle. I can't say I ever had an issue with Michelins but if this was an issue with the previous PR's then maybe the 4's are an improvement.

Re: Pilot Road 4
 

That tread movement was one of the reasons I went back to PR2's, but I found it was the front that I had issues with, under heavy braking it felt like a car on antilock. Tyre life is a thought for me too, I found the 3's were getting 2,000 miles less to a rear, and with the mileages I do in a year it was meaning having to buy and extra set of tyres, which is annoying when your supposed to be riding a better model of rubber.

I'd say the PR3s are better than the Pirelli Angels though. I've had both and the Angels (a claimed 10k mileage) ran out too fast at 6k. I've managed to get 5.5k out of the stock bridgestone trail wings on my Strom. And there's still some tread left. Might try the angel GTs at some point.

Michelin Pilot Road 3's
 

Just fitted pr4 trails to the Strom. Looking forward to seeing how they perform.
