[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1321366, member: 277"] Myself and Pillion make a full load for the FJR so I've always run heavyweight tires on my '04. Last fall I decided to try the standard PR4 and see what happens to tire life. The PR4 standard tire was a PIT to mount and the rear didn't want to spread the beads far enough apart to allow for inflation. After a lot of cussing I got the tires inflated. When I went out for a road test I didn't have to go more than 100' to notice that it felt like I took off heavy weight work boots and put on light weight sneakers. At least for me, the change in feel was dramatic going from the heavy weight to standard PR4. My '04 turned into a '15 ES in January so I don't know how tire life would have compared. [/QUOTE]
