BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

I've been running PR3 tire front and rear tires on my R1150R. It's time for a new rear tire, but the PR3 170/60-17ZR doesn't seem to be available. What rear tire can I get that will mate well with my PR3 front tire?

A Michelin PR4 will work fine .

I agree. I have done the same through the years as the one model is going away and the new model will usually take it's place.

Have the PR4 GTs on the 2002....fantastic.

Michelin is now up to Version 5 of the Pilot Road series. M/cycling Mo has just invested in a pair for his GS-A year 2004. Brilliant rubber, he says.

I have been running Michelin Road 5's for around 3,000 miles - overall the tyres give good feedback especially in the wet and seem to wear well but they are expensive compared to the Road Pilot 4 - In the UK I can still get Road Pilot 2's so will be going back to them when I need to change.

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like one of the PR4's is next for me.

Also have PR-3’s in the Bandit.
Stick like glue and wear like stone, just like the PR-4’s on the Roadster. I will continue to buy Pilot Roads, price be damned.
As a tire supplier at BIR raceway used to say.
“Spend the money on rubber now, or plaster and plastic later”.

I liked the Pilot Road 1 the best of all of them. I ran several sets of the Bridgestone T-30 before I sold the 1150R. The Anakee 3s that my 800GS was fitted with have been very good in all riding conditions and could mate up with a PR3. May be a few bucks less than the PR4 too. Michelin has become very proud of their tires.
