    You're a right Pikey U R NSG! :rolleyes:

    First it was GB Racing Covers, now it's PR3's!

    Dya really think Peeps are buying the current 'Must Av's' then not fitting/using them and leaving them lying about waiting 4 U to pop up and offer a tenner for em? :D

    Get ya Credit Card out Tight Wad and buy em new as that's your only option on the good stuff mostly! ;)

    Seems to be a little chat about PR3's at the mo....
    Will temptation pull me away from BT023's?
    Should I be convinced?! :D
    Have been tempted to change in the past but always been happy with the Bridgestones

    Also, I'd be happy to part with a tender if anyone has a spare carbon hugger lurking around? :D;)

    Tyres, Brakes, Car servicing, Exhausts in Stevenage| Bob's Tyres

    These people are close to you.

    My neighbour ('Blade rider) swears by them and they seemed like nice people when they repaired a puncture in my Misses bike.

    Not sure on prices but I'm going to them next time I need tyres.

    I've had enough of searching the internet for cheap tyres, paying a fortune to get them fitted and ending up just saving a couple of quid.

    Dude, you will be shocked how good these are, how little performance you sacrifice and how much milage you'll gain.

    Seriously wont use another tyre on the road....

    well this is the thing, have them on loan (from another blade, wheels an all)
    for a ride out and then I go back to the other tyres I have just purchased today

    Phantom, they are Pilot Power 3, not Pilot Road 3. I've just put a set of Power 3 on mine - seem fine so far. I've been using Pilot Power 2CT for the last few years - seem fine for the road and get decent mileage (2k out of rear).

    Good stuff, I'd be interested to hear your opinions on both tyres - and what sort of mileage you get out of them.

    Cheers,

    Ian.

    I wont get any big miles on the roads as they are only for a week and a bit
    but the power's will be my long term tyre.I usually use pure's so it will be interesting
    to see plus I got the 55 profile this time as there is still a couple of mm wear
    on the front that needs scrubbed off and you guys seem to like the 55's.
    with the pures I get around 800 miles to a rear and between 1500-2500 from a front.
    hopefully I will get more from the rear as I cant keep up with the currant tyre prices
    with the hospital wage im on lol.
