Pilot Road 4 2CT

[SVRACER01]

looks like the new PR4s are out. a little more $ wise than the PR3s and it looks like they changed the 2CT from soft/med to med/hard to get some more mileage out of them. i may throw one on the KTM and see if i can get more than the usual 6k-ish ive been getting

That may be a perfect tire for me. Keep us posted please.

They look great. I think the fronts are still soft/med, just the rear compounds were changed. At least, that's what I read on the webz somewhere.
These will definitely be going on the fugly , should I own it long enough to change tires.


Hay oxx, remember when I was right behind you at nyst buzzing around? That happened on pr3's.

[SVRACER01]

yes, the fronts are still the S/M

they are coming in 3 types. Reg, GT, and a trail. the Regular will come in all the usual sizes (150-190). the GT seems to only come in the larger (180-190) and the trail isnt in my catalog so im not sure what sizes. i assume the same as the Regular and if its like the PR3T then the "hard" strip will be a little narrower.

Do you have info on MSRPs? The PR3 is already a fairly spendy tire.

[SVRACER01]

sugg ret is $224-229 for the front and $271-279 for the rear (150-160 sizes)

I believe the "hard" strip is WIDER on the PR3T not narrower.

[SVRACER01]

my bad. you are correct

On paper, the tire looks like it is going to be great. We have already had some customers buy and mount them - I'm excited to hear the feedback. I put a set together for a guy yesterday that was actually cheaper than the equivalent for the PR3. MSRP only tells so much because tire manufacturers rarely regulate the pricing:

Parts unlimited has a 40% sale on michelins this month so revzillas prices don't surprise me.

Goooooo! That's almost a pair of pr2's for 1 rear.

It seems these tires rarely go for MSRP. The MSRPs are up though. So I am surprised someone could get a set for less than PR3's.
I've been putting PR2's on the rear of my 'strom because they are a healthy $20 less (retail) than the 3's. I can't tell the difference.
They don't sell a PR2 in my front fitment. Otherwise I'd run 2's on both ends. I really like the roads. As much as I'm kidding myself about healthy performance tires for the new DRZ, I will probably wind up with a set of roads and be plenty happy. I think they still make Road 1's that fit that bike.

[SVRACER01]

seems theyve limited the size runs on the PR2s now. i dont see them in my catalog for my rear tire size anymore and i just bought a rear last year
