Michelin Pilot 3

I just did a fairly rapid journey down the autorute with a new pâir of Michelins replacing Bridgestones, more or less finished after 9000 kms.The steering felt lighter and more respnsive and despite the waring sticker on my tank "Attention - Prudence, Pneus neufs" I did not feel the need to slow when I hit a stretch of very heavy rain. I am sure that these tyres would not be as good off road as tfe Bridgestones or the Touraces that I have had on previous GS's ....but that doen't bother me. They are more comfortable on poor road surfaces and I do not intend to wander afield!.
 
In the past 15 months I have had the following on my Triple Black:-

on new bike - Tourance EXPs. Squared badly at 1500 miles and caused mild weaving at motorway speeds. Weaving did start to improve once beyond 2000 miles and tyre lasted to 7000 miles before I had enough of them. I was pleasantly surprised at the levels of grip from a non-sports tyre (came from a K1200S on PR 2CTs). More than enough grip to keep up with sports bikes.

Replaced EXP with Conti Road Attack 2s. Much better tyre and a lot more grip and feel. No erratic weaving at motorway speeds even when squared off at the end of it's life. Very surprised at these tyres as I've been a fan of Michelin for years. Much better in the wet than I was expecting. Changed both front and rear on 7000 miles again but could have lasted a little longer if I didn't do so many motorway miles. Plenty of tread left on the centre of the tyre but the handling was just starting to annoy when tipping into bends and it was just before the wettest April.

Replaced Conti RA2s with Michelin PR3s. Wet weather grip is very similar to the RAs. Very progressive break away. Done 2500 miles on these already and to be honest, there is not that much difference between the RAs and PR3s in handling wet/dry - the big test for me will be longevity on my 70 mile motorway commute.
 
.....Had PR3's for about 1500 miles so far and the grip is good.... Everything that everyone else has said too.... good turn in on round-abouts and progressive if used in anger when accelerating on the way out..... now to find out how long they last!......

Regards
Terry
