Pilot Road 2's 4,500 miles on.
 
Well I've had my PR2's for a while.

Can't recommend them enough. Remind me of the BT 010's.

Very confidence inspiring and good in the wet.

Been running mine at 34F 36R using a digital pressure gauge.

All those miles have been two up.

The rear has still got maybe 500 miles left in it but we're off for a long weekend so can't afford to chance it, therefore total rear mileage will have to be established on another rear.

Glad it's not only me. Thought I wasn't trying hard enough.:D

Interestingly the strips front and rear are about the same. Normally there is quite a difference.With my Diablos the fronts were less and on 010's the rear had no chicken strips at all but the front had loads.

That was never the issue. ;)

Thanks for the info - my tyres are in need of a change - they're currently looking like this:

\_/ both F & R!

Had it pretty much narrowed down to PR2's, Z6's or BT021's but couldn't really find anything to separate them.
