Well. OK. :musik20:

Their estimate of 5,000-6,000 miles is meaningless without knowing their mileage estimate of PR2's.

Got 7k miles out of Pilot Road tires on my 1250 Bandit, Hard riding while bagged up 590lb wet weight
My friend got simular milage from his bandit with PR2 tires.

I was on the fence about changing tires. I had a few millimeters of tread before the rear was at the wear bars and the front had just bit of cupping. But a dealer had a special on tires so I pulled the trigger a bit prematurely. Or so I thought!

What a difference! I now have about 400 miles on a set of PR3's. I love them! I had Bridgestone B023's prior and never developed a "feel" for them. Now I know its not fair to compare old tires to new, but the Michelins inspire much more confidence. Already my chicken strips are narrower over the B023's. The bike just feels lighter and the turn in is so much crisper (the rear was getting squared off). The Michelins are also quieter than the Bridestones as well. Even my passenger says the ride is more fluid.

So if I can contribute to the topic at all, it would be don't necessarily wait until your tires are worn completely out to enjoy fresh rubber.

I just bought a set of PR2s at JakeWilson.com and looked very hard at the 3's but the $40 dollar difference was just too much. I dont really ride that much in the rain and well PR2s do very well in the rain too.
