Interesting tread patterns.
Nothing on their US website or Europe about these tires. Only thing could find is some one's blog about "going to try them when they become available."

A guy that works for a tire supplier on another forum gave me the info. PR3s are to be priced about 5% higher than the PR2s. Michelin is supposed to start shipping anytime now.

It's just about time for me to purchase new tires. Might have to give these a try. Could be great timing!

So...how come they don't post up what has been changed over the previous tire like the PR2??

That there be half-glass-full thinking. I knew I was holding off buying my three sets of 2011 tires for a reason.

Or for that matter the PR2 B ? Tread design is obvious but composition and construction would be nice to know also.So...how come they don't post up what has been changed over the previous tire like the PR2??

I'd be interested in hearing the rational for all the hairline sipes...
But I'll be sticking with PR2s for a while yet.

I still can't wear out the dam set of PR2's that I put on last spring. I think patriot and I are going for record mileage on PR2's. We both live in the flatlands so that helps.
This Will definitely put a dent in the CT conversions. :lol:

Those hairline cuts in the front are gunna cause bad cupping with heavy braking.
Let me say this about that.
I hope Michelin learned more than Dunlop did on their dual compound tires. Yeah, I know they use the soft stuff on the edge and hard stuff in the middle, they say that each year they come out with a new dual compound tawr.
Dunlop had the D205 (dual compound) that I loved. They then made it "mo betta" and came out with the D207, then D208 (same tire), now the RoadSmart. The D207 and D208's totally stunk IMO. The RS were not a lot better (the fronts totally sucked), although the rear was pretty good.
So let’s see how the French do on this one.

Sorry if this is a silly question but how much mileage can you get out of the PR2's on moderate use? Just an average from those who have them on. Just wondering why you stock up.

...you're going to get answers all over the map, but each of my last three sets have run over 11,000 miles! One persons moderate is another persons aggressive.
Some nut jobs fortunate ones here will ride 20 - 30,000 miles a season. :lol:
Stock up when the price is right!--G
