VFR80025th Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Picked up some Michelin Road 5s to replace my Pilot Road 4s. Can't wait for spring. I'm inching to scrub these babies in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Lorne Posted January 21, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2019 You will love the PR5s on your VTec - assuming you got on with the PR4. After the oe Dulops, my '09 VTec has gone through Pirelli Angel St, Pilot Power 3, Pilot Road 4, Pilot Power RS, and currently wearing Road 5. For my bikes (VFR750, VTR1000F, VFR800, VTec), Michelin's Pilot series have been outstanding since the original Pilot Sport back in Y2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer HighSideNZ Posted January 22, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thing I found with the dual compound in the PR5 was that with spirited riding the sides wear down and leave a ridge between the soft compound side and the hard compound centre. This was a little disturbing as you could feel the change. I've gone back to Conti Sport Attacks which are a single compound that warm up really fast and stick like glue. Just me 2 cents worth!
