Incidentally, my tyre fitter was recommending Dunlop Roadsmarts above the PR2's based on feedback he'd recieved. I've lost faith in Dunlop which is why I had PR2's
I have only 1 regret with these tyres - not fitting them to the bike from day 1!
How many miles had you done on the originals, and is the SV your 1st bike ?

Had a VERY similar experience when I switched to PR2's, but it WAS pointed out to me that due to having has them on since the SV was new and then with the way I rode, the BT220's were, to be fair, quite squared off.

So the PR2's with their new profile would have an effect on how the bike handled, but then nre BT220's would have had some of that effect.

Plus there is the "in your head" aspect of the bad press the BT220's get that may have a bikker effect than you think

But enjoy the PR2's, I know I did.
