PR3s FTW
Excellent in wet & warm up quickly at sedate speeds
Last well - rear only died from a nail through the heart at 7921 miles ( did say sedate! )

I've got PR3s on too. Very good in the wet! Only had them on for about 500miles but very impressed so far!

OK will get them sorted hopefully be for Thurs.

I had diamonds on my street triple and wouldn't recommend them in the wet. They last a long time 6000 miles on the rear and are good for touring and semi fast road riding in the dry but I had zero confidence in the wet.

My friend has pr3's on his GSR750 and loves them.

I went to parkies,They wanted extra as my wheels have TPM's. £325 fitted(web sites £250)
So I'm getting a set of M5 interacts and I'll fit them myself £200 a pair of 120-180.

The only sure thing with tyres is that if you don't like them they will last forever.

Just wiped the blood off my credit card after having Battlax T30R front and rear fitted.
Not cheap, but OMG they are the the most stable, confidence inspiring and grip-mungous tyre I have ever used. Even with the sport touring label they tip in fast but progressively and I have to keep weight over front when accelerating as no power lost at the rear so front goes light. As for longevity, no idea yet, but dual compound should see less in the way of flat spots and soft compound shoulders more grip cornering the wet. A revelation.
