I replaced my PR4GTs with PR5GTs last Saturday. Nothing but smiles so far. I can’t really compare though for my last set was down through the wear bars and handling was diminished.
I’ll see how they do at our upcoming BRG.

Need some new rubber after my Close Call yesterday.. So after a full season on the market, what's the verdict on the PR5's ? Stay with 4's or go for 5's ?
The "agony of choice" as they say in Germany (Qual der Wahl).
Purchased during COVID mess in April. Got over 4K on them now. Love them. Went to WISTOC in total rain and 50 degrees, no issues. Actually got them at local Ducati dealer. Best price around Milwaukee. Go figure.

I'm halfway through a second set on the RT. Lovely tires and worth every penny.

I went thru the rear R5 in just 2500 miles. Replaced it with a Bridgestone T30 which is lasting longer but doesn't stick quite as well.

The front R5 is doing well, handles beautifully, really sticks, still showing plenty of tread at about 6K now.
