[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1416298, member: 19880"] I never loved the PR2 fronts or even liked them - the PR2 rear tires aren't awful but always ran them with a Bridgestone BT023 front. The PR3 wasn't great in terms of lifetime or wear pattern so I gave up on the Michelin bike tires. Skipped the PR4 and thought I might try the "5" if I can get some reviews on them from people who have run them from new to the end. The trouble with a lot of the on-line reviews is that all the talk is about installing the tires and riding them for a weekend. The adverse behavior of a tire in mid-life (~5000 miles) is actually more important to me than when they are brand new. The nicest new tires I can remember was a set of Pirelli Angel GT - great for the first couple or three thousand miles and after that I could hardly wait until they were finished so I could change them out. Hoping that Michelin got it right with the Road 5 ! [/QUOTE]
