That is good to hear that they have PR4s in our size. I put the PR3s of that same size on my CB1100 a while back. like them so much better than stock. I went looking for Michelins for the CB500X. Wound up calling Michelin. They spent all kinds of time talking to me about the difference between PR3, PR4 and Road5s. Boiled down to good, better and best. I got the Road5s for the 500. I'm thinking I wont ever wear either set out the way I'm going. I ride easy. What I noticed with both sets of Michelins was the feel over tar snakes.

Great to know gmike. Road snakes on the bends on a profuse hot day can catch one by surprise from time-to-time.
