Pilot Road 4

[Bibio]

dry performance on rear PR4.. superb. a very neural tyre profile. still on PR3 front so wont know what the pair are like for a while.

I've just had a pr4 put on the back after reading all the good things about it and loving it, as a new rider cant really say much in comparison bar my old tyre but I'm deffently feeling more confident and planted to the road . Waiting for my front roadsmart to wear to replace to the pair.

I've had a set on the 675 for circa 800 miles now and I'm really enjoying them. Not had much rain to test wet grip compared to the PR3s but in the dry they're great. There's a bit of movement from the tyre when the pace really picks up, but its always predictable. Taking the bike to Scotland for a week in mid May where I'll really get to test them.

Had these on the Blade for 2000 miles, squaring a little but not even half way through the tread.

The S20 Hypersports that were on there before would need changing by now.

Seem to give as much grip in the wet as they do in the dry. Would buy again

now got a matched pair on the bike. what can i say.. they are superb. not quite got that glue like grip in the wet as the pr3's had but its not far off. dry grip is superb. they heat up fast. profile is very neutral with loads of feedback. only time will tell about how long they last.

Feck me, is that what it is? I've been cleaning discs, cleaning buttons, changing pads, servicing calipers on the Daytona. When I found a 18 month old Tiger Sport did the same thing I gave up and decided to live with it.


Both bikes on PR3's. I never even considered the tyre.

Never experienced that myself, I've had both the pr3 and 4. Many many miles, many many instances of hard breaking.

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 floating.

Having used PR4 trails I can understand why everyone raves about the wet grip.
Nice to have a radial up front on the tiger too.
