SPLIT: More Off-Topic Crap About Tires that Isn't Directly About OP PR4s

[Intech]

I have my second set of PR3's on the bike now. More "normal" riding on this set than the first one. I put on a set on the way back from NAFO 2012 and pretty well falt spotted it with all the slabbing. So far I like the way this set is performing. Put them on before CFR this year and have >7K on them now and they look and feel great.

They look great for the rain. But how many of us say its raining out, let's get out and ride.
Just sayin,

Dave

Well, I never go out BECAUSE it's raining, but don't let rain stop me from going if I have plans. I can say that the feel the PR3 gives me in the rain is better than any other tire in my experience.

Yea...but what do you know?

I like the PR2's, but just ordered a set of the Bridgestone T30 GT's...we'll se how they work out, come spring. I am also hoping they don't stop making the PR2.

Same...I don't ride because it's raining, but I get rained on every time I take a trip. The first time I went to EOM in Johnson City, I got rained on for 7 days straight. I was glad I had good tires on my bike.

That was a fun trip...Rain and all!!

Edit: Damn Joe; Posting before me. Lol

Sticking with the PR2 as well. They stop just fine in the rain.

Who stops in the rain? I ride through it!

 

[Intech]

PR2's are definitely my tire of choice for all around tire and mileage. Just saying the PR3's feel better in the rain. The front is a bit noisier, though. I just turn the music up.

AJ rides in the rain, and looks for deep puddles to ride through.

Then screams like a gurl when his ass gets wet!

Does he still scream when it's just moist?

Back on topic:

I loved the PR2s even though I knew they were not perfect. I could live with things that others hated. I like the PR3s better. In the rain they inspire just a little more confidence.

Since I live in Swampy Flatlandistan and it rains often here, I have to ride in the rain. I would miss out on far too many opportunities if I let the rain keep me off the bike. I will admit that I hate to start off in the rain but if I get caught in it, well that's why I bought rain gear and PR3 tires.

No he just crys a lot fish... Myself,Beemerdons, Marcusarelius, Just Joe, and ?? Witnessed his puddle jumping near bullhead city IIRC

We'd just finished lunch and stopped for fuel when the downpour hit, we decided to sit it out under the stations awning.. It dumped a lot of water in a relativley short time, seems like parts of Vegas were underwater.

Anyway, Ol turtle **** for brains decided to drive through the area next to the curbing....

The water was above his exhaust.

Bwwwwaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha...I had forgotten about that. That puddle was way deeper than I thought it was. It was funny as Hell though. I think I hit it about 20mph too fast, so I got wet all the way up to my crotch. I don't remember any whining, but I do remember all of us laughing our ***** off. Hell, if I couldn't have fun on these things, I wouldn't ride them.

And it was just us...You, Joe (Tucson Joe), Marcus, Don and Me. Was it that day or the next when I passed you guys going a "little fast?" Thank goodness I was using PR3s. The wet handling was great and the faster stuff was fine too!!

Edit: We were in Kingman dork...That was right after we ate and waited out the rain at the Chevron.

Yeah Bust I remember HotRodZilla getting his crotch wet, he changed his clothes at the next gas stop. What shocked Tuscon Joe and Papa Chuy is that he changed out of panty hose, directly into a pair of crotchless Lederhosen! Really Sick Bastard, even more than you! jes' sayin' and nuff said!

Hey man...When I ride I gotta feel sexy!!
