The Road 5s are coming, kiddies.  They're dropping the "Pilot" designation, but they're still the next gen PRs.

STroppy:
Interesting . . Difference in lap times for the varying brands is to me a very subjective comparison . . Very difficult to replicate all the conditions when testing with different track conditions and possibly different rider mindset . . Same rider different track conditions . .

Also I wonder what tyre development boffins really do . . Such a simple change and it has taken 50-60 years to get there? . . Maybe more a marketing ploy? Yes I am a cynical old bustard . .

Just because you're a cynical old bugger STroppy doesn't mean you are wrong  Wot thuh
One thing you can be sure of - they will be hideously expensive.

The four marques of the PRs have been similar prices to other good tyres.  Only Shinkos have been noticeably cheaper.
While $450 for a pair of tyres is the same as I pay for four for the car, there's obviously more tech in the manufacturing.

Cerebral Knievel:
The last set of PR4's i had fitted was over the $500 mark  :-[
