because K16 aggressive riders tend to bad-rap the PR4, claiming they drift on hard turns, I have stayed away from them.
Recently, while on the road, I got stuck with a pair of PR4 from Sandy UT Beemer cause that's all they had.
And I confess: they are now my preferred tires. Smooth, quite, great grip, and excellent in wet.
Maybe they don't work well on the K16, but they are superb on the RT.

Re: I confess
I have a new PR4 GT on the rear and the front has about another 3k left in it. I have had no issues with the PR4, good grip in wet and dry. What makes the Metzler better? Or is it just as good?

Re: I confess
If folks are 'complaining' of a tyre drifting on a turn I would suggest they may be going too fast to make the turn and physics are taking over. I've drifted wide on a corner a few times on response and never blamed the tyre, just too F'ing fast....................................

I had several pairs of PR3 and 4 on the old GT and loved them. The test bike had PR4s, and my new RT has Z08s. Early days, but so far they seem ok, just a bit fidgety by comparison.
