PR3

Well, I now have a Pirelli Angel ST on the back .
The other day I noticed that the back is rock solid but the front felt a bit slippy so I can hardly wait for the O21 on the front to wear out enough to justify putting a new Angel on there as well.

Dunlop Pilot Road 3?? Shurely Shome Mishtake? 

If you rode a 2008/2009 with the OEM BT-021s then you would understand.
They were not a particularly good tyre when brand new.
2000 miles later they were VERY unsettling as the sides wore badly on the front tyre.
I had to smooth out the profile on mine with a rasp whilst spinning the wheel to make them ride-able again.
I got 7k miles out of mine but from 2k to 7k I hated them. I wish I had changed them at 2k.
Swapped to PR2s and later PR3 and will never go back to Bridgestone unless they release a "God" tyre. :oops:What I should have said was Dunlop Road Smart 2s  forgive me, It's because I'm old.
PR3 feels just like the PR2 in the dry, but what is truly awesome is that the PR3 in the WET feels like a PR2 in the dry.
Best wet weather tyre I have ever ridden with.
Not only that but they don't start "weird" handling on you until they have around 2mm tread left.

I get 12k+ from a front and 7½k+ from a rear, both PR2 and PR3.

Age is no excuse!  Now concentrate as there will be a test later.

I will try and do better I promise. I realize that age is no excuse for getting things wrong, but                I am stupid as well.

And lo, for it came to pass that the PR3's came unto Mogs, with much grip and feel.... and the air was filled with joyfull sparks from knee sliders, toe sliders and footpegs....and all was well as the chicken strips had been banished

your pleased then Mogster

oooh yes,  on the crappy Bridgestones big lean angles felt bloody horrid, but on the PR3's one can hold the GTR on ones knee all the way through a bend, and scare the livving shite outta my mate following on his Gixxer... 

when we got back to the Silver ball cafe, he kept muttering 'who the fookin hell can you get it that far over'  .... 'use the force Luke'...

[O.C.]

I must agree...they do 'lean' rather well....no chicken strips on mine, my boots are showing signs of wear too
