Re: Pilot Road 4

back to the PR3's

the PR4's were nice but dont have that sure footedness of the PR3's.

for me i just feel more of whats going on between the rubber and the tar with the PR3's where the PR4's...

Re: Pilot Road 4

Re: Pilot Road 4

and it gets worse as the tyre wears. i noticed the buzzing reduced vastly with the new pr4 on, i still have a bit but thats due to the serviceable buttons i have on the discs that act more like fully...

Re: Pilot Road 4

Re: Pilot Road 4

Re: Pilot Road 4

180 miles on a rear PR4, they dont have slide about till scrubbed in. its still early but they dont feel as planted in the wet as the PR3. spinning up and stepping out is very gentle with no drama....
