  2. You can use the 190/50's on the rear but it effs up your DTC brain. 190/55 is the go.
     
  3. PR3's are the business! Accept no substitute ;-)
     
  4. I seem to have read quite a few stories about punctures on this tyre!

    Ordered and being fitted tomorrow, I have made the right choice I think......
     
  5. Fitted! How bloody quickly do these turn in?!!! lol

    Having to remove the exhaust to remove the rear wheel is a PITA!!!

  6. Ape2Duc you could have had my Rear Scorp for £25. Has 4/5mm of tread all over. Now have a set of MPR3's fitted and just got back from a 650 mile round trip to York and the moors. They were fine. The scorp is on the for sale/wanted bit of the Forum.
     
  7. Too late now mate, oh well
     
  8. Pilot Road 3....
    Wow, just wow!!!

    Transformed the bike!!!!

  9. Has anyone tried Pilot Power 3's? as opposed to Pilot Road 3. Can't see any reference to this tyre in the forum.
     
  10. MCN have tested a set of Pilot Power 3's on a Hyperstrada (which I think of as a 800cc Multi) and MCN were complimentary, so I think I will give them a go.
     
  11. off the back of that comment I have ordered a set for my Multistrada!

    I am off to the Dutch TT at the end of the month and its guaranteed to be wet. i am travelling over with three really quick lads who are on sports bikes and will be 'pushing on a bit' so want to trust the tyres.

    .The original Scorpions are only 600 miles old so I will chuck them on the Bay to see if I can recoup some of the cost.
