Michelin Pilot Road 2

last years model not road 2 . Just saying.

All being well, I'll be getting a pair of PR2's. Has anyone got any more feedback on PR2's, thank you.

New pair of PR2's fitted today at 36,500 miles. The useable tread to the TWI is ~ front 3.5mm and rear 5.5mm. I'll run them at 32/36psi and see how I get on.

Will check the production week/year next time I get the bike out.

5k on my PR2'S now in all weather's. No issues to report, grip well in all circumstances. Wearing very well and they should be fine till my expected 10k lifespan of them.


Ps.anyone know where I can read up on battery chargers?

You dont need one mate you ride yours, lovely people at BMW already put one on your bike.

An update, the PR2's have now done 5,000 miles. The front has 1.6mm serviceable tread depth to the TWI. The rear has 2.0 - 3.0mm, unusually, there seems to be uneven wear either side of the centre of the tyre. There is no sign of "white lining" and the ride is still compliant. It's just a shame the PR2's are now longer available, I'd have them again if they were.

Uneven wear either side - could this be cupping? I have the same on my Road Pilot 4’s rear.

[David.]

My PR2's have now done 7,000 miles. Had the bike MOT'ed today and although it passed with legal tyres, was given both F&R advisories.

Front: Tyre castellated
Rear: Tyre worn close to the legal limit Central.

The ride isn't compliant, therefore will be ditching & switching for Dunlop RoadSmart 2's.

Thanks for the review on tyre's that are no longer available I'll be sure to bear your opinion in mind next time I'm not buying a pair 10k out of mine and still enough tread to get through an MOT. They were a pretty good tyre in fairness, especially at the price.

Road 6's are the future lol, new tyres new technology, been on now for a few thousand miles and wearing really well, plus surprise the sport bike riders in the corners. Even GS rider gets his pegs down on them,

The pic is of my S1000xr Road 6 from weekend but get 41 degree angle on the RT. Long life tyre with grip for fun ride outs

[michaelc2710]

That tyre has circa 4k on it already and as you can see loads left on it,
Don't recommend the road 5 as it was proven to be to soft and gave crap mileage, I only got 4k on a rear Road 5 on my RT

[David.]

I prefer a tyre (PR2) with more rubber in contact with the road.



Soon to be replaced with Dunlop RoadSmart 2.
