I can't seem to find the thread about the guy who had a set of very soft PR2's from Thailand, but I recently mounted a set of Thailand made PR2's on my bike and I think I'm noticing some of the same things he mentioned. The rear end of the bike feels a bit squirmy for lack of a better description. The bike just doesn't feel like it's handled good every since I mounted them. It feels like the sidewalls aren't stiff enough and are allowing the tire to flex too much.
I previously had a set of PR2's made in Spain and had no complaints with them. I also noticed that now Michelin has a PR3 in a "B spec" tire advertised for 2 up touring bikes that has a stiffer sidewall. I'm beginning to think this is the tire that the Concours should have on it.
