LP,
I remember the PR2 having a round profile, so to speak, whereas the Storms are described as having a steep profile. Can you feel any difference when you tip the bike into a corner? Why do I think the PR3 (if it's the same as the PR2) would be slower to tip in? |

Now that people have had these a while, what do you think of them?
How do they compare in terms of dry vs wet grip? I heard that they are meant to be great in the wet but lacking abit in the dry? |

Replaced mine with a fresh set yesterday mid trip.
Got 5800 miles out of the old ones. Sides were pretty close to the wear markers front and rear. Rear centre was bald (the final 800 miles of motorway (in one day, not planned - that's a story for another time) finished it off) and front was close so changed both. Dry grip is awesome. As is wet grip. Still much happier with these, personally, than the Storm 2 Ultras. Had the pegs scraping down round the Nürburgring with virtually no effort. |

I've done 1600 miles on mine now, I'm probably not the best person to comment on their ability at the limits as they never get took their on my bike, but from what they do get from me they seem ok, defo move around more, I can sense under heavy braking that they are softer or something, but I've got used to them a bit now.
They did slide a couple of times in the early miles ( after scrubbing in) while cornering but have been ok since. Only used a few times in the wet and not pushed on with them cos I don't like wet weather riding but didn't give me any reason to not trust them tbh. |

I'm thinking of changing to these myself as I have the dual compound storm ultras on now, but wouldn't recommend as there terrible in the wet and give you no confidence that your going to make the end of your journey still on the bike!!

Sorry but I have to totally disagree with your assessment of the Storms. I have thousands of miles in all conditions on Storms and they are one of the best wet weather tyres around. I changed to the PR3s just for a 'change' and to see if I getter longer life from them. If you struggle in the wet with Storms, then changing to the PR3s wont help you because I find very little difference in performance, both are excellent in the wet.

I'm with Mike on that, storms have been spot on for me.
