Hello friends,
my PR4T have 9500 km, and I have been thinking about my feelings about them and the various Anakee 2 I've been wearing these past few years.
I am not going to repeat here what's been said about how they handle in various situations, but focus on a couple of details about these two Michelins, rear kind. Details that I remember being more or less pointed out by others:
-I would say that they need higher pressures than other tyres, and certainly higher than recommended by Honda. Under 2.8 I feel them sort of deflated.
-I think they are very sensitive to being cold. After a few (not really many) km, they provide more confidence and seem to have achieved the right shape, and not let the rim "move sideways in corners".
-When new, they tend to "make the bike fall", that is, the bike leans very quickly as you think about it. When they are rather worn, you can get good grip and confidence in corners, but you have to "push the bike" (well, just like any other tyre, but to a higher extent).
I would like to read someone else's experiences with these. Specially if something of the above is just a figment of my imagination.
Greetings,
Josep
