Default Re: Recomend me some tyres

I am just about to swap out my worn PR4's this weekend. With yet more PR4's - my 3rd or 4th set can't remember.
The front I never got round to swapping 6 months ago, it wasn't needed when I bought the last pair.
They both need doing now. So I concur with the 2 rear for 1 front ratio. I do about 11500 miles a year.
Might try the PR3's next time, as never tried them before.

Stradas appear to be being made again. The dates on the tyres are recent.

wet grip. pr3's are like glue in the rain. pr4's feel a little more wooden in the rain.

Ha ha, I've fitted hot grips but am too much of a wimp to get our until they aren't needed. Fair weather!

I'm not sure I'm capable of pushing either to know which is better but will probably match up my PR4
