Just had some PR 2's mounted up last night. Put them on this morning. Will tell ya, puttin that back tire on the feej is a wet dream. Hook it on the splines and take your time installin the rest.
Okay tire review. With the tires off the bike they have a sticky appeal to them. Number one concern is how long with they last with my style of riding? The stock tires last about 5-6K, all I can get out of them and still feel safe. Guess time will tell.
First couple of miles on them were so so. Typical new tire feel, bike rides smoother and quieter blah blah. Hit the first few twisties taking it easy till I got some scrub on the sides. We know, it is not swerving back and forth that puts the heat into tires, its stopping. Did some ABS checks on the way out, to get some heat into the tires. About a mile down Bouquet Canyon the tires really started to stick in the turns. The feej felt good and planted on the extreme leans we take her even two up. Not far enough to touch peg but we do get to the knife edges.
So to rate them to date I will say good. Real show will come next week when we slab it to 9 mile canyon then up and through Kennedy meadows. Interested in seeing how the center wears as well as the sides in the long haul.
motoxoutlet.com had the best price. Even with shipping they still beat the local dealer by 100.00.
