Michelin Pilot Road 3s...I joined the club

[Cormanus]

The PR3 club is getting quite exclusive, at least here on OZ. On placing an order today for replacement of my worn PR3s I was told that I could have a rear tyre that was in stock at another dealer, but the front was not available. I asked how long the wait would be for an order. The reply, "Not available, as in PR3s are no longer being distributed by Michelin Australia". Interesting, but surely not I thought. I then went to the Michelin Australia website to find that for the PR3s size availability and other information has been removed.

Unless I can find a set, front and rear, in stock outside of Sydney I will have to look at another tyre choice. Not good as I really did like those PR3s.

Cheers

That's very bad news indeed.

Pterodactyl, just out of interest I tried to order a tyre from Amazon and got all excited when it said it offered free shipping. When I got to the checkout, it told me it wasn't available for shipping to my address. Didn't pursue it, but I assume that means they won't ship to Australia.

Neither of the OEM tyres is now available in OZ. The size of the wheels on this bike may well cause us folks down under problems in the future.
