how on earth do you lot get such high mileages out of the tyres? i have just done 7500 miles on 3 back tyres and i am on my second front tyre.(the 4th rear tyre has about 300 miles left in it if i am lucky ) |

The dual-ply on the PR 3's (4s?) should help with the flat spot. I think it's really hard to compare tires with the stockers unless your one of those guys that just shit can's the OEMs right away. I was sliding my Skorpion through turns like Hayden at about the 6K mile mark. Any new rubber is gonna feel like glue after that.

I look forward to trying these tyres, they'll definitely be going on when the OEM's wear out. Always been partial to Michelin's over any other tyre brand I've tried. What sizing did you guys go for on the PR4's? |

Thanks Aussie, appreciate it. Have you had much chance to use them in anger in the wet? My research tells me this is where they're really gonna shine...

I was planning to install the Pilot 4 until I discovered the Pirelli Angel GT into a compare article. Michelin are good but expensive.
