Just ordered what is likely my last PR3. I installed a front PR3 a few weeks ago. The rear has 13K on it and looks like its got another 3K or 4K at least, but I figured I'd better get a replacement while they're still available.
I've never had tires with such good performance and wear qualities. I'm sorry to see them go.

Just got a PR3 rear installed on Friday to replace the stock Bridgestone BT54 at 8930 miles.
How long have the fronts been lasting for everyone?

Question. What would happen if I ran a ATIV p3. On front and regular P3. On back?

Not sure on the Pilot Activ front, but that's a good price for the rear. Mine was $28 more from Revzilla

Not sure what would happen, but as a rule, I don't mix bias ply tires (Activ) with radial tires (PR3). I'd go with either two bias or two radial tires.dsan1964_imp said:
The PR3s on my CB are less than 5 months old, but now that there seems to be a supply of them on the market, I think I may just buy another set and put them away for the future.

Tires were leaning against my garage door when I got in from today's ride.

160 mm wide vs 140 mm wide but about three same overall diameter due to a smaller aspect ratio.
Yep. By the way, I think Ferret’s bought an oversized front tyre too. If I recall correctly Redbirds is also running an oversized front tyre.

Yep had to buy oversize front thanks to Michelin discontinuing the proper size, and had to buy oversize rear thanks to Michelin never making the proper size. Several members redbirds, flynrider and others are running this combo no issues. I have run the oversize rear for a couple years now.
