Angels here, on original size. Second set coming to an end, after 6000 miles (the most I've got from any tire). High speed does a salad off a good tire.
Build bridges, not walls.

Education is important. Riding my bike is importanter.

My first tires were PR2(good)...never felt totally confident in the dry , even less in the rain.

Trip to the Dragon in May...SHINKO 011 VERGE  (awesome) ride up and (awesome) grip and feel on DRAGON and highway

Big hole in rear Verge 11 (750 miles) Still on vacation at Dragon and three car tire plugs would not fill the hole

 All tire place had was PR3.  PR3 (great) but not awesome... Not quite the grip or feel of Shinko but much better than PR2.

These are my findings and I am sticking to the SHINKOS.  Your opinion will probably be very different.

PR2 190/50, Shinko 190/50 and PR2 190/55 (I am on my second one).  I will stick with the PR2 in a 190/55 until I find the PR3 on sale.
Keeping the economy going, one tank of fuel and two tires at a time.
