Michelin PR4 Trail or Road 5 Trail

[roundincircles]

I have tried PR4 and PR5. Both are predictable, good in the wet and give feedback.

What I like about them is the fast turn in so in the twisties and Mountains they are good fun.

The PR5 have very different tread pattern and are an improvement both in feel and wear.

I have tried Metzler 01 and Continental, all good. I just like the fast turn in of the PR5. The others may do that but I can't recall!

Had new GS in 2014 it came with Anakee 3’s that I took off at 1500 miles, swapped to PR4’s. I just swapped to 5’s, at 14,500 miles, but it was second 4 on rear. None of the three were worn out, I swapped because of imminent departures for Euro mountain trips & wanted new rubber. I never got a puncture.
Presently in Pyrenees & 1700 miles into trip on the 5’s which are great, but not obviously better than 4’s at anything, there was rain in France on the way down. I’m told they will wear better than 4’s, but I had no complaints anyway.

After a few more days on more demanding mountain roads, I now can confirm that the 5’s are far superior in that environment. They get a big thumbs up from me, they made this trip so enjoyable.

Perfect for the twisty roads . A great set , just let down by the high wear factor , superb grip and steer well .
Glad they worked for you

Whataver. New tyres are great for the first 1000 miles.
