Just got back from a 7000KM ride and time for new rubber.
These PR3's were great. No cupping and just starting to flatten out.
42PSI and Counter-Act Balance Beads.
26000+km (16000 Miles) Front and 22000+KM (14000 miles) Rear.

Installed PR4 GT's. Hoping for similar or better results.

Wow....excellent mileage. My PR3's are in need of replacing, and I'll likely go with the PR4.
I was on the verge of going with the Pirelli Angel GT, but the longevity I've been researching about points to the Michelin as having more life for me.

I got over 13,000 miles out of my first set of PR4GT's, but only about 9800 out of my last 2 sets of PR4GT's. Just mounted a fresh 4th set this morning. Pretty concious about air pressures, and don't think I am riding any differently. Don't know why the difference in mileages between the first set and these last 2. I got 11K eack out of (2) PR3's and thought the 4GT's would return better mileage (as advertised). At least they haven't cupped like the 3's did for me. A PR2 returned 8K and the original BS was also gone at 8K. Just over 71,000 and I'm on my 8th set of tires. Dang these bikes are expensive to keep up. lol
