Hmmm....you might want to drop your rear pressure slightly from what you usually do as the GT has a much heavier carcass construction which affects the footprint. For normal road riding, around 37-38 psi cold should be ok.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-479794336235297542021-03-02T00:14:07.101+11:002021-03-02T00:14:07.101+11:00I tried the PR4 GT on the FJR.

I'm interesting to follow how they work for you on the R1. <br /><br />Bridgestone T31's have been my biggest surprise. Confidence inspiring like a sports tyre but good mileage. However bit pricey.

Speaking to another Connie rider he prefers the 4's (in GT flavour) to the 5's as they last longer and offer the same performance - at least for our big beasties...Andrew Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716829007873864871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-65836151779596214392021-03-01T08:28:29.856+11:002021-03-01T08:28:29.856+11:00Hiya Steve,

Mine are coming up for 9000 km and have kept their profile superbly. I always reckon that 10,000km from a set of sport touring tyres is good but I reckon I'll get a sight more from this set. The soft compound at the edges really do the biz and are fantastic in the wet.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-29396531001489644542021-02-28T22:23:55.989+11:002021-02-28T22:23:55.989+11:00Good choice, yep, got them on my R1.
