Pilot Road 2 for The Concours 14?

[Zapf]

Just came back from the mainland, where I clocked up around 5000km over the last 7 days. So far the PR2's have ran over 9000k's of road, and still there is much tread left on them, so I think they will last another 6000k's easy.

This is on a Blackbird with uprated suspension, and was hauling around 3 Givi boxes full of stuff over the last 5 thou k's. I am impressed at how well they are lasting.

K i am contemplating what tyre to get next on the katana ,but am torn between avon storms and PR2's/PP2's havent seen as much praise for any of the other brands so ive got it down to these two.. what would you guys/gals reccommend ? o and the type of rideing i do is touring and commuteing ,also sometimes getting the knees down

[Blackbird]

Have a look at: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ht=avon+storms

They are the best tyres I've ever had on the Blackbird, but they were really designed for the heavier "hyperbikes". I'm not sure that you realy need them, but it's worth checking out. Next time, I'm going for an Avon Viper sticky front tyre to go with the Storm rear as they are both compatible. I know this will shorten front tyre life but I don't really mind as I always change both tyres together anyway.

Ive only done 1600 kms on the storms to date but this was all two up with loaded panniers and a bag strapped down to the carrier Only one word to desribe them so far "Brilliant" but in all fairness i havnt tried the PR2s

Another option?

PS: So far the pirelli's I stuck on look ok. Look pretty hard wearing - after a couple of quick rides in hot conditions the rear did not look that scuffed up at all (compared to the original bridgestones). Yet to ride them in the wet.

Looks promising especialy the claims it grips so good in the wet

Has Dunlop NZ imported the new Roadsmarts here yet?

[HornetBoy]

going to get the storms on the katana 600 and see what kind of milage they get (probably some crazy amount ) .

my current pilot road 2's have gotten 11,000kms and still going strong ,easily another few thousand ks left on them id say.

mind you its a 150' so they are flat in the first place and wear down amazingly slow

[Hitcher]

Mrs H's Storms (Bandit 650) are at 15,000km and there's still close to 3,000km left on the rear.

[Highlander]

Really liked the Z6's got 13500km out of the set.

Will think seriously about Storms or PR2's when I get back from the Mini's Return.

Used to like them on my Bandit but only got 9-10,000kms out of them. Don't think that they'd be that flash on the Connie...

They did just do another 4~5 thou k's. And they still have tread. They will be replaced with some Stradas

Holy shit! My Storm shows early signs of squaring and I haven’t quite done 3000km.

Have you gone around any corners recently? I'm happy to post a photo of my current Storm after 11,000km and Mrs H's after 17,000km to demonstrate minimal *squaring* in both circumstances.
