[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1432247, member: 78971"] I too, am disappointed at the PR5's apparent lack of mileage life. My fave tires for long life had become the Avon 3D-XM (eXtended Mileage) variant (180v55R17), but now it seems Avon has replaced them with something called Spirit model tires (?). Used to get almost 16K Kms (~10K miles) out of the rear, - and because I loves me some torque on an FJR, that mileage was quite good [for price of that tire]. The 3D-XMs were dual compound, and still great rain or shine. My second choice (cheaper than Michelin PR4GTs) are the Dunlop RoadSmart III tires. Similar endurance, overall good feel, low cupping through their life, etc.. Of course there's always the NEPRT sub-forum here to see years of debates on all things tire.... [/QUOTE]
