Ferg,
For what its worth, I went to Vic over Christmas and had to put on a new front. Many here recommend a softer front than rear ( I had and M1 on the front) but I went with the PR2 (matched pair). i figured that the tyre manufacturer probably knows a thing or two about tyre design.
I rode over 1200 km back to Sydney via the Orbost - Delegate road (120km of pure twistie - except 20 km of dirt). I also rode this back from PI with the softer front. I dont think I rode it slower but i had no problem with the PR2. The only thing I noticed was the softer tyre shed its sides whereas the PP2 didnt.
I wouldnt go past the PP2 - es[ecially if you are going long distance.
Cheers
Steven
