Baby’s Got a New Pair of Shoes

I got nearly 8000 miles out of the stock Dunlops, and will be happy if I get the same from these.

2 Stacy June 27, 2009 at 9:25 am: Nice!

I had plenty of tread left on the front tire, but since I was switching tires to another kind entirely, I went all in.

I’m pleased with them so far. I had heard that the PR2s are very “neutral” when steering and it seems to be true.

BTW…you may want to try and find another shop to get your tires mounted. We have a place here that does nothing but MC tires and they charge about 35/tire to mount and balance plus an extra 5 if you want new stems.

Traveled from Ontario (Canada) to B.C.(Canada), down to Yellowstone and then back to Canada. Some 10000 km (6500-7000 m) and hardly have any noticeable wear. Fantastic tire! (much better than the Metzlers on a previous 13000 km trip 2 years ago)
