Pilot power 3 rears are crap.

[cyndemgum]

I,m currently running an original pilot power front, with a pp3 and found it a good combo.Am interested the mileage you got out of the pp3 that you were running??

Around 4000 ks. All on the Oxley and pretty much pinned most of the time. That's about double what I get out of a PP 2ct rear. Just by seat of the pants feel the Pilot road 2s when properly warmed provide a similar grip level to the PP3 rear sports tyres. To each their own but I bet it is not long before Michelin bring out a replacement for the PP3. On the 1000,busa and blackbird I have run the following tyres, conti forces, motions, road attacks and race attacks. metzeler m1 spotechs, m3 sportechs and k2 racetechs. bridgestone bt016 and bt014. Michelin pilot roads, pilot sports, pilot road 2s, pilot powers, many sets of pilot power 2cts, pilot power 3s. Dunlop sportmax q2. Have spent considerable time on other bikes on pures, angels, corsas, shinkos, m5s blah, blah ,blah and for the money and hype ,imo the PP3 rears just don't have it. Not saying don't buy them just don't expect them to match the performance of your busa. Paul.
