Well !!!

So far, so good !

1st off, it's so great to have a bike that leans in the corners again !! My previous tires were squared and it shows now.

The new rear tire seems to be stiffer: I'll have to soften the rear suspension, which I had put on the hardest setting with the previous tire.
Traction under acceleration is great, so is in twisties. I've done about 1200km on them until now and I am very happy with the new tires. Sayonara Scorpions !

Kuurus,

Thank you for the feedback. It is likely that my next set of tires will be a set of PR4s.

Safe Travels,
Richard

Raising an old thread from the dead:

I'm at 13000km on my PR4s.

They were very nice, and I should be changing them in about 2000-3000km. I'll most probably will be going for another set of PR4s, but probably GT this time. The regular ones are fine when solo riding, but when two-up or fully loaded, they feel like it's squishy. Keep in mind I have a bike that's on the heavier side (Versys 1000, 540lbs dry) so with the rider and baggages or two up, it's easily above the 700lbs mark.

If anyone has input about GT or not, I am open to all opinions !
