attentiongetter92 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yep just the one, rear tire for my cbr. Any recommendations? I mostly rode highway but also a good amount of curves. And I want something that will grip great in the turns. I have heard good things about the conti's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mango_sv Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 +1 on Michelin Pilot Road 2. Put 10k on a rear last year. Wears like a touring tire, grips like a Pilot Power. If I hadn't bought PR2's on Dec 30th for this season, I'd be trying PR3s. But none the less, I had to use my discount before the end of the year.

Or is it an 016? Ah bob saget I don't remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I got a set of PR3s in March they lasted a little over 10k miles but I had to change them early because I was going on a trip. I think I could have got another couple thousand out of the front. Now I have a PR2 front and a PR1 rear. I love the pr series of tires. I just got them 3 weeks ago and have almost 4000 miles on them they seem to be holding up very good no sign of wear yet. Also they grip very well and cant be beat in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Angels are every bit as good if not better than any of the Pilot series.......read the reviews, and save yourself a lil bit of money over the pilots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
