Default Re: Tyres - "Pilot Road 4" or new "Road 5"?

For info. I have had PR5's on my bike since launch. Front has 10 thou on it with about 3mm tread left the rear got a discarded vape pen through it but it had 5 or 6mm left after 7 thou.


Grip was good even in minus temperatures and moderately quick acceleration in the cold and wet gave me no concerns. A first gear anger-induced twisting of the throttle simply squirreled the rear in the cold. I am a convert.
I rate them as a 12 thousand mile tyre with reasonably quick commuting type riding, very predictable and confidence inspiring and quick to warm up. Just my view.
