[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1250147, member: 27852"] Agree with Ross and Chuck, but I am interested in learning what John thinks about the tire, and the mileage he actually gets. Edit - not so fast, Pants. I just found 2 sources for a set of Storm 3D XM's for our bike at $250.00 shipped. That is $25.00 cheaper than the best price I found for a set of PR2s. Cyclegear would charge me $50.00 a piece to mount them, but my tire dude would charge me $15.00 a piece to mount the PR2s. So I'd be out the door at $45.00 over the cost of the Michelins. If I could actually get 15K out of the rear, that would be 75% more mileage than what I am accustomed to on the PR2 (8,500 miles), or a savings of about $110.00. (PR2 cost is $151.00) If I could actually get 15K out of the front, that would be 25% more mileage than what I am accustomed to on the PR2 (12,000 miles), or a saving of about $30.00 (PR2 cost is $118.00). So for a cost of $45.00, I'm saving $140.00 - or about $95.00 net savings on a set of tires. If I went this route over a longer term (several sets of tires), then I could realize more savings because I'm getting tires mounted less frequently. Hmmmmmm..... (I can't help it - my friends call me cheap - I prefer "frugal") John - please report on your thoughts for the performance of this tire (hopefully compared to the Michelin) [/QUOTE]
