went for PR2's

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of the PR2's. I could easily get a few thousand more miles out of my rear tire and maybe a thousand out of the front, but honestly I don't have much confidence in the old 020's anymore.

With the cold weather coming up I want better rubber on there.. so I went for it.

A couple weeks back I went ahead and bought the HFT machine with the mojoblocks.. so we'll see how that works out.

Seems like jake wilson is the best price out there. paid $242 shipped. Has anyone recently done better on price?

Congrats. Better safe than sorry, especially with just two wheels on the pavement.

I always change my tyres when I feel I have lost confidence in them , even if it means throwing away some tyre life :thumbup:

What you should have done is opted for the wonderful Metzeler Z6 Interact & then you would know what a real tyre is like

You are gonna love those tires. :thumbup: I got 'em at the start of the season, and they're incredible. Really good in the wet (which is a blessing here in Halifax), and they reach operating temperature pretty quickly when it's dry. Good choice!

yes, I've heard good things about the Metzler Z6 but also a groundswell of good feedback on the PR2. So in a toss up, I thought I would try PR2. Having my own tire machine gives me freedom to change tires more often. Looking forward to getting them on there :rockon:

Metzler schmetzler, PR2's rock all the way to the end. It's still the only tire I can get more than 5k out of the rear on my FJR. Love em.

Red-

The FJR is a heavier bike (My friend has one, super nice machine). Just wondering are you running the B series tire? When I ordered mine, I was told those B series are for the heavier touring bikes which are essentially 2 up machines.

Thanks,

I currently have 11000 k's or 6835 miles on my rear Metz , thats on my XJR1300 which is very similar weight wise to the FJR & me being around the 300 lbs area and i'd say there is a good 5-6000 k's left to go

Just a word of caution on the Z6 tires. They are fantastic tires but with no center tread it is hard to know when they are worn out. DAMHIK:

I headed out with a very good looking tire and 100 miles later it was on the cord down the center.

So just keep a close eye on them. :thumbup:
