Ok, still needing an update. Anyone rack up some miles on the PR2's yet?

I just ordered a set today, since I couldnt get a set of the original PR's. The set I have on my bike now has 13,000 miles and still has a little tread left-both front and back. My valve stem seems to wear out before the tires do. I have some serious cracks in my valve stem and dont want to push it much longer.

The PR I had before this current 13000 mile set still had tread when the valve stem started leaking, but I dont know how many miles it had since it was on the bike when I bought it.

Covered about 3000 miles since fitting my new PR3's. So far I'm extremely impressed. They warm up quickly and inspire so much confidence having ridden loads during the wet summer months we've had. They turn in so well and look like theyve hardly worn since fitting. I'm off on a two week ride to Lisbon in Portugal on 1st July with three mates and so looking forward to the ride. I reckon the tires will be awesome. So, to sum up, I'd have another pair of these tires without doubt !

Thanks Red Bull. I am hoping to get a lot of miles out of the 2's I just bought. My main concern is mileage, since I commute mostly and take a few trips.

Havent mounted them yet. Gonna try to squeeze a few more miles out of my old original PR's.
