Pilot Road Vs Pilot Road 3 Vs Contiomotion.

[Irezumi aka Reuben]

Rather a broad question but is there a significant difference between michelin pilot road and pilot road 3 to be greatly noticeable for at best an average rider (i.e. me)?

Also has anyone had experience of the Contiomotion tyre, particularly in relation to the PR2/3?

Thanks for any help.

Got conti motion fitted not long ago, 2000 miles into them and no signs of wear yet. Lovely feel to them. Tread pattern is good, confident in the wet. Cheap but cheerful. Id recommend them to anyone

I've had various kinds of tires and I've never experienced any real difference.

My last bike (GSX 750 W) had Pilot Road 3'S on and i found them brilliant in all weathers including snow on the Alps in February.
Personally speaking i found them the best all round tyre i have ever used ,although tyre choice is always subjective .

I assume that you mean Pilot Road 2s compared to Pilot Road 3s in your first question? If so, you probably won't notice a huge amount of difference between them for average use. I have PR2s on my Hornet, My OH has PR3s on her Zephyr - I ride both and find them excellent in both wet and dry conditions.

I put conti motions on my bird because they were cheap, but so far they seem fine and pretty good in the wet. Think they were 145 a pair as opposed to my usual avons at 190 a pair.

Thanks, tyres will be going on a litre twin primarily for fun, although this is pretty sedately paced. Will probably give the ContiMotions a go and see how they fare up.

I put Conti's onto the Firestorm. Couldnt diss them. Everyone said I would die a horrid death because they are not suited to V2 riding (why I have no idea) but they are great. Been on there for around 3K miles now and still have shedloads of life in them.

I have found that confidence in a tyre is more than the sum of the tyre. I used to use Michelins and lost confidence in them, switched to Conti trail attacks and all was fine again, my riding probably really won't get to the limit of the tyre to compare each, but I have confidence in one set over another.

I ebayed a PR3 rear for my CBR600. £55 delivered, 5mm tread left Ive still got a dunlop D208? on the front with 4mm left, which should be ok as its grippier, although perhaps not in the wet. Thoughts on this combo?
Getting it fitted next week for about 15 quids

well I suppose after yesterday not many folks will be rushing out to buy Pirelli tyres any time soon , Dont think Lewis Hamilton has a lot of faith in his tyres any more
