Just got a new set of these fitted to my K12GT - as I've only done 10 miles on them so far, you'll have to wait and be patient for my review! Shouldn't take too long as I'm racking up around 15-20,000 miles a year in all weathers but all the hype looks promising. Will keep you posted.

I put 100 miles on my PR3s this morning. Great handling and grip, although the sipping looks odd to me.

If you don't mind, where did you buy them? How much did you pay for them? I need some new shoes soon. I've been thinking either Avon Storm II's or Michelin PS3's. -Dr Ron

Conisdering the new Conti Road Attack 2's, but will anxiously await your review.

I put the Road Pilot 3's on my last RT specifically because the roads here in Florida are often made with crushed coral as the rock for our roads. It's very rough on tires - as it is on skin !!!

I needed to have a harder compound tire, while not wanting to look my cornering capabilities when I ride up the the Smokies. I think that the entire industry has to move in the direction of a dual compound tire process. It only makes sense. I was very impressed with those tires. When my current tire goes, I plan on the same tire and the follow on tire.

Just my opinion.

It was an insurance replacement at Adventure BMW. I don't recall the price.

**edit**

I came across the invoice, $179 for the front.

Well, as promised in my first post, a quick update on the wear rates and nature of wear experienced on the Pilot Road 3's.

These were fitted on the 16/2/11 and I ride every day in all weathers averaging around 15,000 miles a year.

Whilst I don't nail the throttle in every gear, I do ride in a spirited way, most of my mileage is totally upright on motorways but when the twisty stuff beckons, I love to play as much as the next rider.

I'm writing this now as I have just started noticing that it will soon be time to replace these - the rear is getting a little squared off (plenty of tread left on the shoulders but not much in the centre) and the front has cupped quite badly but still plenty of tread left.

The mileage at the time of fitting was 35,133 and the mileage now is around the 45,900 mark - which, by my calculations equates to over 10,000 miles on one set of tyres - very pleased with that!!!! I was actually quite surprised when I dug out my old invoice on which I'd noted down the mileage to learn just how much I'd done on them - the next pair will be more of the same after that long term test.

Great in the wet, stable and confidence inspiring and plenty of grip on the rare occasion when the roads are dry. Juts before getting these fitted I had a low speed spill coming off a roundabout in the wet onto a lake of diesel - this really dented my confidence in the wet and led me to become "Johnny Upright" for many months.

When I got these new baby's fitted, they have really helped me get me confidence back and come highly recommended.

They cost me £230 fitted with the wheels still on the bike.

Hope this is of interest / use when you are considering your next purchase.

Best wishes all,

Darren

Thank you for sharing with the group. If it isn't too much trouble, it would be nice to see photos of your tires (er ... tyres). I am especially interested in the cupping on the front.

put on a pair end of september. Put on 8,000 kms ( 4,800 miles ) and I really love them. Didn't do much rding two up but the tread looks like no wear. It sticks to the road very well and are quite trustable in the rain. I can say that they are far superior to the Bridgestone that were initially on the bike. I am expecting a good durability, such as 16,000kms
( 10,000 miles ) .

Sorry - only just saw this. Photos not a problem, leave it with me.
