My experience is that the quick guys never feel the need to mention it .....
Surfaced again have we ……..same old answer Giles zzzzzzzzzz you make me smile every time xx I blame Harry the cat for asking the question
I'm an old fart and am not fast, but I have a new 1250 with Bridgestone A41's on it and compared to the panaky 3's fitted to my previous GS 250 miles in I quite like them
what's wrong with METZELLERS????
Nothing hence the rt01 being mentioned as a lot of peeps fav
I don't how you manage to keep your licence riding so fast
The answer is in your post .. tee hee
Nothing as I had 01's on my previous GS after ditching the panaky 3's but the A41's came as the OE fitment (Rather than the latest Michelins TFFT) and from 1st impressions I'll likely keep them on until they need changing
Works for me
Nothing at all. Just been able to fit some M9rr’s to my 1250. Just a pity I cannot get out to try them.

Obviously not a 1250 GS unless your running a 17” front wheel

Be interested what you think of the PST2. I still rate the PST2. Greatly disliked the CRA3.

Just shows how subjective tires really are, you hate them and I love them, both opinions being equally valid
Guess the only way for any of us to know is to try a model and decide for yourself
It is not entirely subjective. Design and profile and engineered purpose plays a significant role. CRA3 is a good touring tyre with ample grip, but it is not a fast turning tyre for more more aggressive riding. Stick's friends says he is 'fucking fast' which he does not deny, so it sounds like he is a quick rider. PST2 is a much more sporting tyre than the CRA3, hence my question was directed at him.

Tempted to give these a go:
I will be trying a set soon , as a lot of riders rate them , I used a set of the older scorpion trail once and liked them , but would imagine the new PS2 will be good . Your point of the profiles is something I have discussed before and agree with you ,I like a fast turn tyre set , the CRA 3 is slow , much like the new annake and the A41 , I had both sets , rode them once , binned them . But that was my choice as they don’t suit my style , I don’t like a lazy neural bike , I like a bike you can turn on it’s head at any time . This however will not suit all and that’s fine , I post the points I find and hope may help similar rider styles , not to get my dick out and compare .
I was rolled across the coals for posting photos of a set of PR5 that lasted 1200 miles (4 days) but it was for me a point to make if you like to ride hard in the mountains as my 5th day was ruined and the ride back to Barcelona a nightmare . Not now tho I have got a local guy to sort tyres ( Spain)
Happy days ... one wheels enough
Tempted to give these a go:
No thanks, probably be like their other tyres. Hard carcass, no feel , good grip then crash. 3 times now road and track, always Dunlops.
