You might not want to be rockin' like me. You might not want for the flack that might come with it! Oh you meant the tires!!!  ;D   

All kidding aside. So far I do like these PR3's. I'm somewhere between 1,000-1,500 miles on them so far. They still seem very acceptable. Very good in the dry. And absolutly wonderful in the wet!

I have a set of PR3's on the way and they are 55's. But any 55 on any tire will turn in quicker than the 50's and you're going to love 'em!

I have my 190/55 PR2 on the way, it should be here Tuesday.  I will have it put on as soon as I get off work and will post up my thoughts on the slightly different profile.

Thanks Steve.  I'm probably going to go that route - will likely be ordering new tires in a month or so.
