I'm not very active on the forum other than doing a lot of lurking. But I am so impressed with the PR3's I thought I would share my experience with them. I've used up 3 rears this year, all have been 190/55. Average mileage is 5000-5500 range. The last one got about 4700 but it had been to Vermont, Missouri, North Carolina and a good hard run at the buckeye bash right here in Ohio. What really compelled me to write this is how well the tire did in a heavy rain coming home from N.C. in late Oct. It was just about dark as I crossed into Kentucky when heavy rain started and continued for the next 250 miles home. I slowed down for a few miles but never felt any slippage of any kind from either end of the bike. So I ended up traveling with traffic at 75-85mph feeling competely comfortable. When I got home and looked at the tire I was surpised to see how worn it was for how good it still performed.
