I've got a few hundred miles on the PR2's now, and what a difference. The grip in corners is excellent indeed. I'm very happy with the tires and they certainly inspire confidence.

I have over 8k sport-touring miles on my PR2s, and the rear is just beginning to look a bit squared. I still have a couple of thousand miles left in that tire.

Just got back from a nice trip(posted a small description in the trip section) with a fresh set of Storms on. Never had them before and liked them pretty much from the start. The only negative I can think of is that there is a sensitivity to tar strips. On nice clean pavement they do really dig in nice. Edge to edge is no problem and I was loaded down enough to feel the difference in the bike.

Had my first >400 mile day on my newish PR3's. Didn't think about the tires at all; I just enjoyed the ride. I think that says it all.

I've had the PR3s on for almost a year now, had to replace the rear early because of a big screw, but that's another story.....
What I am noticing is the front is wearing backwards from what I'm used to, lol. Center almost seems new, but the sides are wearing. I guess I use the softer compound enough

Replaced the PR3s with.......PR3s. I was able to get about 7.5k miles out of the rear, front still had 3k+ left on them. I really like these tires. I feel I would get better miles if, I left a little food on the plate, lay off the throttle, and stop driving on Maine roads.

I just changed out a Michelin Pilot Rd that did 5500 miles with mixed use over 3 years. Some carefull, some not so carefull. !

I'm thinking about buying a set of bridgestone S20's. Does anyone here have experience with them? How do they fare when compared to let's say Q2's (mileage, handling etc.)

Thanks.

Uraberg I think Coroja has the S20's (reported to be great tyres) on one of his bikes why not PM him?

With my first set of Pilot Road 3's I am stunned to report they lasted me longer than any tyre in the last ten years on any bike I have owned in that time.

10,000kms!!!! on my Sprint GT.

So naturally I fitted them again also at a great bargain price.

I actually already have

Tell me, at the end of tire life for the PR3's, how did they handle?

I am asking, because every "long" lasting tire I have tried, wears in a distinct "V" shape (front tire) at about 3/4 of total tire life. As a result, I am really not enjoying the last few 1000 miles on those tires. With this being the case, I figured I might as well go back to tires that don't necessarily last me that long, but will give me just about the same feel through their whole tire life. (The Q2's did that for me...)
