My PR2's are a bit dated (early 2014), but at the rate i burn through them, that doesn't matter.

My PR2's were sitting in the garage when I got home. I haven't checked the date yet. Love my new Yamaha hat and T. Quick shipping and will use Jake Wilson again. Now I am waiting on my Ebay used part to arrive.

Thanks for the Rocky Mountain link, just ordered 2 rears and a front PR2.

Wow ordered Wednesday arrived Friday! That was fast.

Both rears are 02/14, the front is 52/13.

I usually get 6500 per rear, 9000 for a front...

(NEPRT satisfied)

I'll be putting a set of PR2's on after I burn through these crappy OEM Bridgestones. Not a fan. Gotta love a set of PR2's delivered for $250 (thanks for the tips on RM ATV, guys). If I don't like the Michelin on front, as others have stated their distaste for, I'll opt for something else next go-round, but for now I'll be showing up at FODS '15 with them in place.

14K per set (past two sets), third set is in the garage waiting. Haven't unpacked them to check date code, but they'll be bald in 18 months anyway.

Marty - my brand "new" set of PR2 must have come from the same batch as yours - same date codes.

A fresh set of tires on the motorcycle is incredible.

For anyone who read my experience of doing 250 miles from the showroom and then learning front and rear had 20 lbs each, the front wore badly, the rear went flat on the road yesterday (7900 miles). Put the set of PR2's on today. Completely different bike. I've had lots of "new rubber" experiences. This one is so profound as to make me wonder if the front was damaged from the get go by my high speed 20-psi break-in.

Thanks. Just ordered a set.

www.jakewilson.com currently has the PR2 for $257.98 for both front and back, shipped. This is the best price I have seen.

I just got a set of PR2s from Jake Wilson for $255.90, free shipping.

The date code on the front is 0114; on the rear, 0614.

I discovered that my stock front was about bald halfway to the edges in the middle of my summer tour. Found a dealer that had a set of PR4's in stock and put a guy right on the installation. Set my travel back an hour or so but I rode away on a different bike. Amazing. All the handling quirks I "got used to" on this bike are now all gone. It handles just like a motorcycle should now.
