Hi Guys.
I previously reported that I was having problems with my PR2's insofar that to me they felt unstable on sweepers taken at around 60 MPH. They felt like the back end was about to let go - squirmy.
Tried all sorts of fix including tyre pressures, suspension settings and weight distribution to no avail.
I have replaced these tyres after 1500 miles infavour of Metzeller Z6 inters. Instance fix.
In checking with my Tyre dealer I learned that police testing on heavy bikes found the same problem. My riding weight for myself, wife and touring luggage is around 200KG (420 pounds). Apparently the rear tyre on the PR2's tend to flex thus causing the problem. A lighter rider or a single rider may not suffer this problem. I am informed that the PR2's are superb on lighter applications.
Anyhow, love the Metzellers and hope this helps.
Safe riding to all.
