Title: PR2 tires$$$
Post by: TLOC on January 21, 2013, 07:07:07 PM
Hey,
     Sorry haven't been on much, just wondering if $250 shipped to my door is a good price for the PR2's? As always thank you in advance...T

hi, when i try to compare prices I go to jakewilson.com (which is usually still the cheapest I can find to my door) and run the comparison =)

I am surprised PR2's are even available now.  You'd think they would be blowing them out cheap.   That doesn't seem like that great of a price to me, especially considering it's an outdated tire.

PR2s are still a current tire  for 2013 in the Michelin lineup...there is a strong following for these tires... :)

I have them on my FZ1, have been thru several sets, also had them on the Bandit. I have done track days on them, so they're um, ok I guess.

Honestly, I am just surprised they are still there with PR3's out for at least a year.

The PR3s are just a water friendlier PR2.

A few differences with the new design.

My favorite is the front PR3 has 10% more "softspot" area.

Doesn't matter, any of the Michelin's BLOW AWAY the competitors  (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/avatars/crybaby_sign.gif)

Here is a chart in case anyone is interested

PR2 are younger than the C14. About 5 years since launch.
The original Pilot Road (PR1) are about 10 years old now.
PR3 are just over 2 years old.
