I bloody hope it's milage of the bike 😂

Iv just took delivery of a set pilot power 3. Can't wait to get them fitted I had pilot road 3 before and loved them but thought I'd try power just to get a feel for different tyres and what suits me best. With my bike been my first and all I don't want to just "stick to what I know" as I could be missing out and with this been the first set iv had I want to learn the difference in feel and performance if different sets of tyres

You'll need to do a wee report on them. I'm thinking Power 3 for my next set of tyres as I'm hoping to do a trackday or two this year and have no BIG trips set up... I've a couple of thousand miles left on the PR2's so can you have a report written by the end of April start of May...

Thanks.

Yeah, bike not tyre's. They did about 6000, most of which with a temporary repair in. Great tyres. Bikes just seen some rather expensive love. Throttle bodies etc etc. Feels like a new bike. Fallen back in love with it again. Huge grin today, what a difference.

Dkid got these on his bike. I'm lining up for them after my pilot power 2CT, especially as they appear to be better on everything and these tyres are amazing already!

I'll get a report written up they are going to Europe with me for a few thou in June including a nurburgring visit!

Shiftin_gear.... Slightly off topic but what did you have don't to throttle bodies? Mine need balancing although the back fire and flames out the rear of the thou is very addictive.... If you had em balanced how much nicer is your bike to ride? Mini report on changes? Feel free to pm me if you don't want this clogging up 😆

Our of interest... Who's had a set or the original PRs on? PR1's if you like in the past?

The way each tyre seems to be much better than the last I was wondering if the jump was the same from pr1 to pr2? As someone described pr2 as woody?!

Original pr's were really good. Pr2's were shocking.

Honestly. As long as it's a know tyre your hard pushed to buy a rubbish one.
Just chose the type of riding the milage your aspire too.
Then narrow it down to sports, sports tourin, track day etc.
Then hopefully your find the cheapest prices for the type you want.
