Many riders here use and enjoy the PR4, myself included. It is a very well rounded tire (pun not intended), it does a lot, last a good many miles and seems to perform well for most riders. I usually stick with what I know and may step out of my comfort zone once in a while to try something that others have made good comments about. However, that is usually when I have doubts and/or desires to see if there is something better than what I know. Sometimes cost is a factor and considering Michelins are not cheap, it may be worth trying something else once in a while. Basically, if you're comfortable with them and don't have any cost issues, they will do just fine on your VFR.

 

As far as the Road Smarts, I believe there are few here that have tried them, so I'll let them chime in as I have used Dunlops in quite some time.

Yep, it seems we have the same way of seeing things

But since lots of people tend to say that the RS3s perform even better than the PR4s, I am quite tempted ....

Will wait some more feedback in read into it a bit more before making my decision.

Hi everyone,

I commuted for years using Pilot Road 4 on my CBF 600 before selling it and was more than happy with them on (very confidence inspiring, great durability, outstanding wet grip).

Now, when I bought my VFR few months ago, she had brand new Metzeler z6 equipped so I just thought "Well, let's try it".

Today, after 2k Miles and 2-3 nasty surprises from my rear tire I am thinking of replacing them, even if they are still in pretty good shape...

Knowing that I ride mostly to commute (under any weather/temperature, on dirty/bumpy roads...) with some outing in twisties during week-ends and that I don't ride very aggressively, should I just go for the PR4s?

Are there interesting alternatives?

I read/heard some pretty good things about the last Road Smart, has anyone tried them??

Thanks in advance
