about what??

PR4 isn't made for big trail bikes so it is still PR3's that working. Base of the tyre is to weak and even I was thinking of PR4 tyre for highway tourings. Still is only marginals about how tyres last so I will stick to my Metzelers, giving me 12000 km's with some small offroad capabilities. After all I live in northern Europe and tyre have to work in cooler conditions.

@skye Yes. As you know,I was so over-faced by the choice and had to do something to clear the Bridgestones. My BMuu friend likes his Metzlers so I'll see how the Michelins wear and maybe copy you next time.
