[QUOTE="MajBach, post: 1333603, member: 27289"] Just to double-check the fine print, they only honour the warranty if you have them professionally mounted? And buy them from same dealer? It's surprising the variation in mileage claims from rider to rider. Makes me wonder if it is the rider, the road or the conditions. My first three pairs of PR 2s were 'meh'. They lasted pretty good but got a flat spot fast in the rear and the front cupped early. When I tried the PR 4s they seemed a littler "grippier" but I reckon this could be as much in my head as anything. Unfortunately, I experienced my first flat ever near new on the back and drove quite some time with low pressure so cannot make a fair comparison to others. The front tire did however wear very weirdly and I don't seem to be the only one that has experienced this. It had a pronounced negative impact on turning. After getting my suspension completely redone, I went back to PR2s and I think I will likely stay with them. I am 6000 miles in and no cupping, barely imperceptible flat spot and the thread looks near new. At almost 40% less than the 4s with longer treadlife and better feel in the corners, I will likely stay with them. Would like to try the Avons but the wet performance concerns me. [/QUOTE]
