Just put on another Michelin p3 rear tyre ,as was well empressed with the last one ,which managed 6800m before it started to square off , still had 1500m left in it if had to , but as am going to austria in two weeks have now changed it , fantastic in the wet and great in the dry , the p4 is meant to be. Better still , :biker3:
Ref PR4 just fitted the gt version and I'm seriously impressed I've always been a bt023 man up to now, I chose the gt cause of the harder rubber on centre for straight line stuff 20% and 40% medium each side for the twisties only time will tell but at present :banana: :banana:

Ive just replaced my PR3 with a PR4 , the pr 3 still had about 1500 miles on it after doing 5000 miles, had to change because of our Austrian trip so thought id give the 4 a go, well after 2000 continental miles the 4 is showing NO signs of squaring off , the 3 did shows signs at the same mileage..
Now im back to non slab miles im hoping the 4 will wear evenly, however being a frugle type of guy im going to put my pr3 back on , just to finish it off, I cant waste 1500 miles of tread, plus I want to see what its total miles comes out at.
Ive got a stack of old tyres with recorded mileage in the garden and one day will post a comparison photo of tyre v life .
Austria Mr Nightrider ? You know what that means don't you ?
Piccies please ! :yes:
Looks like PR4GT's for me next then as I still have the OEM on mine 3500 touring miles squaring off nicely :( Users do the best reviews :)

You have my sympathy. :yes:
I've heard that the BT-023s are better than the :shit: BT-021s.
Got rid of my 021s on the trip to Spain and replaced them last week with PR4s. What a revelation! I knew they were bad, but even so I was considering having the suspenders set up professionally to try to get rid of the understeering. No need now!.
Just fitted a PR4 GT this is only my 3rd rear in about 13k miles and I'm sure I replaced the OE tyre a bit early...http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ (http://www.mytyres.co.uk/)
I like the fact that it now has a grove in centre to show wear.

Well my PR4s are about shot now after 5250 miles.
They are awesome in the wet and inspire a lot of confidence, but i don't rate them as a summer tyre....too much movement when the weather is hot and dry and tend to feather at the edges due to the amount of cuts in the tread.
I won't be putting them on again until Oct, Nov time.........
Viper.....mine were the same after our loop of France and i thought brill, but then i think it was riding these roads in the UK when we got back thats knocked em so quick.
Mine should be back today or tomorrow with a new set of Angel GT's, so I'll report on them in a week or two. Previous fit was Angel ST, little wear after 5,500 miles but squaring off noticeably, so thought I would have them changed. (Tread depths reported at last service some 1,500 miles ago as front 4.0mm, rear 4.5mm).
Went to Boston bike night tonight and only saw 1 GTR. I did have a look at the Bridgestone T30 GT on a tyre stand and was informed that they are very good for heavy bikes, so i'll be putting them on shortly to try out.....bit pricey though :wacko:
I replaced my PR3's recently with Angel Gt's after a spate of punctures. just done two thousand miles in Europe on them in all conditions. Great grip and no sign of wear yet. And no punctures yet!
Just replaces my PR3 after 16.000km - still 2-3k in them!
