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

[flynrider]

I only have 5,700 miles on the stock set of tires but they look pretty worn and I think I am going to replace them with the BT45 radials. Chapmoto.com has a pair for $272 including tax and free delivery.

This looks like a good deal and the BT45's have good reviews, but now I am thinking the Michelin Pilot Road 3s may be the way to go. The Michelin tires are a good bit more expensive. Is it worth the additional cost?

Just an FYI, the BT-45s are not radials. They're bias ply tires.

I use them on my CB750 and am on my third set. I think they are good all around performers and I always get excellent mileage out of them. If the PR3 were not available, I'd go with the BT-45s on the CB1100 as well.

I think Cormanus has used the BT-45 on his CB1100. Perhaps he'll chime in.
