I like the PR3's. I will keep these Bridgestone on until I need new ones. Can't afford to get rid of them as they have good tread.

I may try the PR4 when the time comes.

Just as well I ain't track riding my GTR then  :mfr_lol: I got 10k plus miles out of my last BT023 GT and no chicken strip left neither.

In the hands of my mate who used to club race, the first thing he said after a blast was " those tyres handle the power delivery well"

When this pair go west I might try something different but till then.......

They last so long cause they be cheap as chips and rock solid rubber that has no grip....  :-p

Only joking....  Some do, some don't - I don't Bridgestone!

Bridgestone,....... the Marmite tyre!

Me, I hate them. Used to use the early Exedras on my Z1300 because they lasted a week (mostly).
4,000 miles for a rear tyre was pretty good for the Z1300 but they didn't handle very well at all.
Luckily I spent 99.99% of my time on motorways so didn't really care.

Had a BT-020 front on the GTR1000, 2nd worst front tyre I ever tried after the Exedra.
However a friend says he loved them on his Trophy 1200,..... until he tried the PR3s.  :mfr_lol:
