dual compound tires

looks like that dual coumpound thing is a good idea...nice to get your moneys worth out of a tire instead of throwing it away after a few thousand miles with a lot of perfectly good tread on the edges...this PR3 has 10,185 miles on it and is getting replaced tonight..

 

I love my Micheline PR's. I won't run anything else.

 

Yep, Just replaced my PR2s with 10k+ on them. I did notice a little squaring on the rear (due to slab riding I'm sure) and the front was starting to cup a little, but overall a great tire. I'm trying a new combo this time though, a PP3 on the front and a PR2 on the rear. I got to test this combo out this weekend and found that the front tire gave me a lot more confidence than I had with the PR2 front. The new PP3 is also dual compound but I'll have to wait and see how long this one last compared to the PR2.

Cheers

 

I didn't let the PR3's come this far. Once the rear started squaring, I replaced both. I was getting a bit of trouble in the wet anyway from the cupping of the front alone.
7k miles on the set.

I'd show you some nice vids I made recently but as long as that troll roams this board, that's not gonna happen.

 

this new one is my third front PR3...no cupping issues

 

Wow... you do get you money's worth on your tires. Mine come off long before that.

 

good as new !!! fitted the right angle valve stems too..much easier too check psi and the look slick

 

the right angle valve stems are from K&L Supply... part # 32-5419 about $15 ea .... 10 mm

 

You a southpaw too? :smile:

Nomar has 90deg stems for $4.95 each. All different colors too.

 

i saw those , like the K&L better

 

Sold me on the PR3's lshark, been leaning towards them, lots of good reviews. Nice to see actual mileage. Yeah I know, ymmv, but thanks.
