    PR4 looks like a good tyre, quite agressive looking.
    Hopeyou get good mileage from them

    I wish I was brave enough to get rid of the chicken strips, there is not that many roundabouts around me to practice :D

    The tyres are on! That new tyre feeling into the first corner's lol $$$$ myself lol.
    I've put 50 miles on them most back roads and a bit of motorway.
    I have to say so far I like them but you do have to push it into a corner more then with the sport tyres.

    That's because the profile of the tyre is not as sharp as say the Supercorsa, you could try dropping the fork legs through the yokes by 5mm to see if that helps :)

    Ok so after putting more miles on the tyres im getting to no them a lot better.
    They don't seem to heat up as fast as my old tyres and the grip is not to good when cold.
    Also my back tyre seems to slide a lot more under breaking.

    It's a small price you have to pay for the extra miles they will do :)

    I had PR's on my ZX10R, having previously been using pilot powers.
    I couldn't notice any difference, could get my knee down with no effort or sliding.
    Done 5000 mile, then sold bike, think they could have done another 3/4000 miles.
    About to put them on my speedy.

    Got PR4'S on my Hyperstrada, great tyre. Don't get great mileage out of them though, about 3500-4000 max rear and 6k front. They warm up really fast and the last track day I did in the pouring rain they were amazing and had them leant over to where only about 2mm left on the edge of the rear. Will be replacing with PR4's again.

    Low mileage because of the track use ? There not a good track tyre from what I've read.

    No only done one track day and the tyre was just about due for replacement any how's. I'd actually gone to the track on my nc30 but it started raining buckets and 1st lap was red flagged. thats when went and got the hyperstrada out to play. brilliant in the wet.

    Meant to add that my mate on a Multistrada gets far more miles out of his PR4s, I think the compounds are different on the larger bikes.

    I can honestly say I've noticed no difference from the supercorsa to the PR4, great tyre.

    Best tyre available for all weather conditions in my opinion.
    Just put a fresh set on for the winter. I wouldn't use anything else. IMG_20161113_175838.jpg
