I've had the 3's for a few thousand km and I give them two large thumbs uP. My bike only had 10,000km but the stock tires sucked. They did not feel good riding aggressively and HORRIBLE if the ground was a little wet (they would slip badly on a wet tar line).

The PR3's are awesome in the wet. I hit a downpour on my last ride. Still felt safe at high way speeds even going through a decent amount of water.

I've had to stop aggressively a few times (wildlife, people stopping ON the highway to take pictures (had some choice words for that moron)) and the grip was awesome. I would have skidded on the stockers but the pilots almost scared me at how fast they gripped. Almost did an endo....if I didn't have about 100lbs on my luggage I might have!!

Corners and handling is excellent. Getting more confident at tighter, faster corners because it has never felt unnerving. My last season I had 2 plugs in the rear tire so it didnt inspire confidence.

I highly recommend these tires. Don't get the 2's. These look a little goofy with the small siping treads but well worth it esoeciall if you hit rain or even damp roads on the rare occasion. :cheer:

I'd get the tire thats cheaper. they are both extremely good tires, and some tire shops are dumping the pr2's because the 3's are out. (unless its like 5 bucks and both tires are in stock..)

Doing a quick browse they are 10-20 more per tire...worth it!!:thumbup:
