I think I only got about 4000 miles out of them. Unless you do a lot of rain riding, I don't think the PR4 is that great on a VFR. I like the Dunlop Roadsmart line and the Angel GT the best. Interesting. I got 10K out of my PR3's (same pattern as the 4's but a harder better wearing compound) also unfortunately \I rid in the UK so I don't get a lot of choice about riding in the rain. not tried ther Angel GT but I'd rate the PR3's over the RoadSmarts in the wet any day.

I've been using PR2s for years and they tend to go about 10k also. But I no knee-dragger and I do not live near any mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem317 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Picture from a few weeks back. Still looks like this but also added the Honda factory rear tire hugger to help keep the undertail and shock a bit cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapest route might be some good direct early or late golden sunlight will help before you try other camera gear. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe Rootes Corporation would use Escort Mk1 Forest Arches and that 'OOj rear wing. I thought the Tiger Prototypes all used the Mk1 body with the more pronounced fins on the rear wings/light enclosures. What Sacrilege Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted September 19, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm just going on what the owner said. "It was one of 6 prototypes made" thought the escort was made later? Will try an upload some more pic if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong and I may be making assumptions but those are suspiciously like Mk1 Escort bulges and as for that wing? Bleeaghg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the PR4 that has the harder wearing compound, not the PR3, so should last longer, if only marginally. The improvements over the PR3 are minor but I'll take that when emergency braking in the wet. Review here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
