No more discussion of screwing starting now.....it's bad Karma.

I imported this piece af Welsh slate in my rear tyre the TPS sensor warned me how quickly it was deflating  :censored:.

O.C.

TPS saved the day for me too. The Red flashing dash light and read out told me all I needed to know

Without TPS things could have been different   :yes:

Got screwed myself this morning.
First one i've had on a PR3 or 4.

M6 25mm long allen screw with a big washer.
Was in the middle of nowhere (Ide Hill, Kent) but the recovery truck found me eventually.
Wheel is now at my local bike shop for a (hopefully) repair.
Otherwise I see a new PR4 (55 profile) in my future.
You couldn't get that any more central!

Lots of us using PR4s and personally I'm doing 400 miles per week on mine.
In the last 20 years I've had punctures in a Dunlop 701, an Avon Azaro, a Michelin 89X, a Bridgecrap BT-021, an Avon 3D-XM, and now a PR4.

I'm glad you made that point George as I can't  accept that PR4 GTs are any more puncture prone than other tyres.

Sorry to hear about the puncture you experienced

BTW have you watched motogp yet

WoOk is in deep thinking mode this morn (doesn't happen often lol) but my theory is .. perhaps with PR4GT having as many sipes  etc it may (and I use the word guardedly )that they MAY be more prone to object pick up .
But that's a price we pay for good water dispersal and hi silica content   :smiley:
Thanks guys for the feedback on the 55 sidewall. I kept the last Gtr standard and will most likely do the same with  BOB (long story )however all possibility are possible but not always wise   :smiley:

On my GTR1000 I preferred the 89X to the 100X that replaced it.
Was way better than the crossplies it replaced.
Then Pirelli/Metzeler released the Diablo/Z6 and I never looked back.
