the new Michelin PR4's arrived and mounted up

[ZG]

I just got the new Michelin PR4's yesterday and had em mounted up, I went with the GT's and 55 rear... 

It also gave me an excuse to see what my black wheels would look like with the red bodywork instead of the gold, so I had those put on as well... 

[O.C.]

Well Z.G you've just gone and done it again haven't you 

The bike looks stunning, however I'm really not sure which wheel colour combination that I like the best, I think maybe the Gold for me with the Red paintset although the Black does look good....mmmmmmmmm I'm not sure 

BTW the PR4s seem to have plenty deep sipes,      its my guess that you can't wait to get out and break them in.......maybe the weather is stopping play ??

The Ohlins Road and Track Forks are mighty fine. Guess who had a set on his R1!
Very yummy!

Looking good as usual .... Was that rain droplets I could see on the screen ????

Thanks OC! 

Ya, Michelin is claiming 20% longer life and better wet grip over the PR3's, I can't wait to get em scuffed up a bit and out ripping around dry or wet...

Please let us know how you get on with the PR4's ( specially compared to the PR3's).

Will be interesting to know.

Could you tell me where you got the tank pads please? Been looking for similar in uk but not been able to find anything, cheers

Jay is in Oregon in the Pacific North West, better known as the Pacific North Wet. 
Oregon gets about the same average annual rainfall that we get in the UK but between the rain the weather is nicer than here.
Good wet weather tyres are a must there, same as here.
If I were to emigrate to the USA, Oregon or north California would be my choices.
Milder climate generally and very nice area apart from the earthquake/tsunami risks. 

Jay, do let us know how you get on with the PR4s day to day.
I'll soon be needing a new front and was planning to try the PR4 but you've beaten me to it.

As for the colours, I still prefer the green or black with black wheels.
Red bikes are too "shouty" for me.

[Rusty]

I would imagine as probably most of us would too that the 4,s will be just as good as the 3's .. technology these days is so quick to move on that whatever they bring out its going to be "better" than before ... I too look forward to hearing what you think !

Will do Deon, I've gone through 2 sets of the PR3's and found them to be the best tires yet for this bike, so if these are any improvement over those I'll be very happy indeed!

Yep, Boom is spot in, here in the PNW where I live we get a lot of rain for sure, so that should put these PR4's to the ultimate test!
