I've heard so many good things about the PR3s. But this is the thing with asking advice.

You get so many differing opinions it's difficult to know what to do.

On top of all that the PR4s are out in January so that just adds to the confusion :-)!!!
I would certainly wait until you have worn your present tyres out, before you spent lots of money on replacements.

But that just seems pointless, when he could just leave them on and use them up.

Geoff, I ebayed my Dunlop Roadsmarts off the new GTR, a guy even travelled down from Kirkcudbrightshire in Scotland to pick them up.


It's worth doing, I got a good price for them which went towards the far superior Michelin tyre.

The man from Scotland must have thought they were good then?, and he was right. To me it is just madness taking perfectly good tyres off when there is nowt wrong with them. And as I have said many times before on here, I dispute that  PR3s are a better tyre anyway.  :smiley:

It makes you wonder then why so many people rave on about them, even people who have purchased them initially with some trepidation.  :popcorn:

Yep, for the kind of motorcycling that you do they are fine, and you love em.              For the kind of motorcycling that I do, I found them to be utter  :shit: and easily the worst of the three makes that I used on the GTR.    opinions opinions  :yes: :smiley:.
