Some will run only one brand of tire and others like me will mix and match any brand.Well you guys have convinced me to replace my Bridgestones with the PR3s. Although my front tire still have a lot of tread left, since it is the B020, I am assuming I need to replace both tires at once. So where is the best place to buy them online??
+1 on the Two Brothers suggestion.Some will run only one brand of tire and others like me will mix and match any brand.
Here is the best place to order your tires from http://www.twobrotherstires.com/
Coming from an old tire that was at the end of it's life to a new tire you will always get a much better ride. To say the PR3 is much better than what you had you would have to compare 2 new tires. The best tire I've put on my bike is the NEW tire right after I wore the old one out.Well, I've got a couple hundred miles on these PR3's, and I can't believe how much better the bike handles over the old Bridgestones that were on it. It is a way more confident ride, and the bike is much more predictable. They really dig in on turns, and you can almost hear them say "go ahead, we got this - gas it" You really don't have to lean the bike into a turn - just a mild suggestion, and it will do it.
WOW. I can't imagine getting that much life out of a tire. Must be a lot of straight roads.OK, all ya'all, I finally have a report on my first PR3 front tire. It still had a few miles left before getting to the treadware indicators but not enough for another trip. Miles . . . 25,748.
It went on with a PR3 rear that got 15,129 miles. Put on a 2nd PR3 rear and it just came off after an unrepairable puncture at 10,619 miles with several thousand more miles of rubber still on it.
They stick to the road in dry or downpour as well or better than the PR2s and wear longer. It's my new tire of choice.

There were a lot of straight roads, but none-the-less . . . it's a cost savings and superior handling to boot!WOW. I can't imagine getting that much life out of a tire. Must be a lot of straight roads.
I'd recommend getting them from two bro's. I'll Gladly spend the extra $ to support a local small business than a large internet box store if given the chance. .I would recommend buying the PR3's from Bike Bandit if you are an AMA Member (10% discount). I just bought the pair for $271 shipped versus $299 from Two Brothers. I will be installing the tires within the next 4 or 5 weeks.
Take care,
Bob
How did the edges of the tires look Shuey? Did they get lumpy like the PR2's?There were a lot of straight roads, but none-the-less . . . it's a cost savings and superior handling to boot!
