After getting 9.5k rear and 14k front out of a set of Dunlop Roadsmarts. I have either stupidly or rightly decided to try the new Michelin Pilot Road 3s.

Since most of my commuting days up here in the North seem to be on wet or damp roads I was intrigued with the winter style pattern on the front tyre.

So far I have only covered the comute to work, yes in the wet. Leagues ahead of the roadsmart, but then it's not really fair considering the mileage they had covered.

I'm not expecting them to last as long as Roadsmarts or PR2's for that matter. If my theory is right they will heat up more, due to the tread pattern, but anything that give me a more grip in the wet is welcomed.

I'll update with progress on wear.
