    Michelin Pilot Road 3's are sublime

    Update .. I have about 6k on PR3s, my rear is past the wear bars and starting to get smooth. Note right side worse than left, because of 375 miles through Wyoming with a 50+ mph wind pushing us on the right side. And of course it didn't matter what direction we traveled we were leaned over most...

    Going to the Dark Side

    OK .. I hear what your saying... BUT..

    Michelin Pilot Road 3's are sublime

    $294 ..? Wow .. I payed $370 for a set plus mounting, sounds like you found a great deal. Well i finally got mine scuffed in and besides the new tire syndrome, they still are 1000 times better than the Met z6. I didn't get to use up my last set PR3's (traded the bike in) but i should use these...

    Michelin Pilot Road 3's are sublime

    I thought that was the best trick i found for a 19mm, but for some reason i could not find that 5/8 in my slew of tools i have. Maybe one of the kids borrowed it. (Kids) Love em though.

Although their are a couple of tricks out there as to not using this single tool but i chose to buy one...
