Review Michelin Road 3's

[Gypped_imp]

Cip is right that the BT54 rear is a heavy and stiff Tire. When I had a tire puncture It felt almost impossible to dismount the rear tire that I felt my tire irons were going to bend or the lip of the wheel.

For those who might not ride in wet weather could opt for the Pilot Road 2'S . Its Dual Compound like the 3'S without the Road 3'S X-sipe Technology.

The pilot Road 2's are not available in 160/60/18, the only tire offered for our bikes from Michelin is the 3's

I found a couple places online that offer the PR2 in the stock front size and 160/60/18 rear. I didn't check the price difference on the front tires, but it's about $35 cheaper for the PR2 rear at the sites I looked at. I found it at bikebandit and chaparral-racing, but for whatever reason I can't pull up Michelin's motorcycle site to make sure that it's a real size.

Thanks for being the guinea pig though, CIP57! I'd much rather put on the Pilot Roads than either stock tire, I had them on my Warrior and they made a HUGE difference in handling and feel. As well as lifespan - the OEM Warrior tires barely lasted 3.5k, the PR2s made it almost 9k apiece for 2 rears and 12k for the front.
