Michelin Pilot Road 3's?

Get the train over here and you can share the JD as a hair of the dog!

 

Well, first impressions are good - only did 30 odd miles but the way it tips in is really different to the old K3's, It does feel nice to have more grip coming out of bends/junctions when getting the power on. Mark Brunt (Mobile Bike Tyres) did advise to take it easy for the first 60 ish miles for them to bed in. Also they seem to warm up pretty quickly - considering the temperature here today ( toady! ) :biggrin:

Are they starting to square off yet? View attachment 2505

 

Seems to still be quite a big shiny bit on the sides of your tyres?

 

Who the fuck is Mark then? I presume he was an anal virgin prior to this post then mr.h? View attachment 2506

 

Thats exactly what i was going to say Bry! View attachment 2507

 

Ahhh.... Bum skids! My dog does that on the rug when he has an itchy arse. Perhaps you need worming too?

 

Not really wanting to appear as an expert on dog's bums (although let me tell you, I so am) but dogs tend to drag their arses on the floor to relive pressure on their anal sacs - usually nothing to do with worms. Just thought I'd throw in a random veterinary answer because I don't think we've had one until now? (Well apart from sheep 'n' stuff). Hope this clarifies...

 

Thanks for clearing that up sir, i am in awe of you x

 

Had PR3 fitted to rear last week transforned handling much quicker than Metzler not ridden with it in wet but got to be better

going to get front fitted with PR3 also ASAP

 

Has anyone fitted the PR4 yet be good to get some feedback before I take the plunge at the weekend??

 

PR4's went on this afternoon, only managed 40 odd miles on the run home in Friday afternoon traffic so not much to report on. Never noticed any difference in the steering which is good as I had expected them to be a little slower turning but all seemed okay.

Out in the morning so should get a good 100 miles or more into them which should give me a better idea.

 

Had a front Pilot Road 3 fitted on Saturday to match the rear fitted a few weeks ago.

This as expected has transformed handling of my ST3, turns in much quicker feels much less heavy at front-end and of course as a result your confidence and enjoyment increase.

Try them you will not be disappointed:upyeah:

 

Just noticed this thread (yes I'm a bit slow) and realised that we reviewed this tyre a while back. Its now on my ZZR 1400 and is a fantastic bit of rubber.

Michelin Pilot Road 3 Motorcycle Tyre Review - Big Bike Mad


Probably the best tyre we ever tested. If Carlsberg made bike tyres....:biggrin:

 

I had PR3s on my blade fantastic tyre
And will be putting them on my speed triple when it needs new types

 

If only they made them for the Bonnie....:frown:

 

Fitted new tyres yesterday went for pp3
Going for a ride today to run them in
The mileage on my 1050 was 7247 when fitted so we will see how it goes

 

they do ... if you go to 150/70R17 on the rear, standard front size OK. That's what I want to do, welcome any feedback if anyone else has done it.
