I put on the PR3s onto my 2013 ABS about a month ago. 160 on the back and 110 on the front. (I don’t have my center stand installed)
When I ordered the tires, they made a mistake and ordered a 120 for the front. I didn’t know that when I brought it in for installation, and they tried to install the 120 onto the front but said they couldn’t get it to bead. I had the new PR3 on the back and old Dunlop on the front when I picked it up.
To make matters worse, there were no 110 PR3s available anywhere. They called Michelin and they were “between runs” and it would be about 2 months before they were available. They suggested a 110 PR5 instead but I didn’t like that idea either.
Not content with having mismatched tires, I found a new 110 PR3 on eBay from the UK. I was skeptical but placed the order. A week later it was at my door and I brought it to the dealer for installation, and all is good now.
I’m interested to hear that others have managed to get a 120 installed onto the front. I have a Fugu front fender installed clearance is tight, so I don’t think it would have worked for that reason anyway for me.
