Pirelli “Fly into Summer” Promotion Free front Angel GT with purchase of a rear

[B.D.F.]

OK, I did not think anyone was making a dual compound front tire but it appears that the Michelin PR3 front is dual compound. So yep, on the Pirellis only the rear tire is dual compound.

I thought that the PR2s were also dual compound front and rear?

[B.D.F.]

Just looked and yep, those are dual compound on the front too. Slipped right by me.

I guess my attention has always been on the rear tires as they are the ones that tend to wear badly in the center, especially on the highway. I have not noticed the same thing on the fronts even when they are single compound tires. The one set of Angels I tried wore pretty quick on the back but the front was OK so I thought just adding a harder strip of rubber in the center of the rear tire would be sufficient to really improve things.

Then again, maybe the front tire is really worth what I paid for it.

Understandable Brian, I'm a rear man myself.
