Member Contributer Bent Posted September 14, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 14, 2013 I've been out of riding for about 3 years now and, when I left, PR-2's with a Pilot Road front to be about the best combination for wear and handling. Anything changed or improved over that. I know everyone has an opinion but just curious if anything's changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted September 14, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think you meant Pilot Power front, but yes, it's pretty much the same. But now there are two new versions of each tire out. The Pilot Power 3 and the Piolt Road 3. I went with the PP3/PR2 combo myself and found that it worked very well as far as handling but mileage is yet to be determined. Hopefully the 2CT compound used in the PP3 front tire will hold up as long as the PR2 tire I had. I got 10K + out of both front and rear tires, but most of it was commuter miles. I'm running the PP3 f/r on my '01 and love the way the feel, figured I used the PP3 on the front of my '09 and try a twist on the favorite combo of choice.

Thank you for correcting me and for the information! Bent ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer HumalogAddict Posted September 14, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 14, 2013 After doing the pp/pr2 combo last time, I slapped on some Pirelli Angel gt on before my ongoing trip to the Cabot Trail. So far I really really like them. Great handling and the bike feels like it is on rails even loaded up with luggage. Look for kebrider's review of them for more details but I would highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
