So.......how many kilometres do you manage to scrape out of your tires?

Sicman:
20 K out of set of PR3's. On a set of Pr4's now to see how they go for longevity. They are great in the wet  :clap

alans1100:
When I bought The PR3s (on special run out price) I expected an improvement over the Bridgestones. The rear one has just done a couple hundred over 7,000km after todays run and might make 8 or 9,000km. It's maybe more due to towing the trailer as it's the softer side compound that's worn rather than the centre tread.

Perhaps it's low tyre pressures that are contributing to the side wear.   Since you tow and ride mostly two-up, my unsolicited advice would be to run them at at least 44psi.

Sicman:
yep - Petes right - 46-48 would be better for two up with trailer and gear  :thumb
