Heard very good things. I eat tires on my Ulysses. The PP CT 2's i get 3000 miles, and the forums speak highly of the PR3's, up closer to 8000 to 9000 miles

I have used these before on my BMW, I'm back for another set.

Best tires for BMW R1100RT. Great grip while canyon carving or in the wet. You won't be disappointed

I've had good experience with this tire, and am pleased with it's longevity and traction, both dry and in the rain.
Conrad L on Jun 21, 2019
I've had very good luck with the PR3s. Good mileage and decent grip. And apparently the PR4s and 5s don't come in my sizes.

robert m on Mar 3, 2018
Direct replacement for existing tires. Good performer.
Don H on Sep 11, 2017
These are the best tires I've ever had. Performance in wet and dry is excellent and the wear characteristics are outstanding. I got 18K miles on my last front and 14K from the rear (on a CB1100). It's a shame Michelin is discontinuing this model. I don't need tires yet, but I'm ordering them while I still can.
Juan G on Sep 2, 2017
Quality, price and strong user reviews.
David W on Jul 16, 2017
I owned a set of Michelin PR2 prior to this and was completely satisfied. I thought since this was the next improvement, I couldn't go wrong with this tire. I ride a Yamaha FJR
Montec on Jul 5, 2017
Good wet weather tires for the NW but prefer the PR2 in the summer for the feel.
RC51 Still Rocks! on Jun 30, 2017
My boyfriend has them and highly recommended them.
Mikal H on May 26, 2017
Punctured rear tire with only 1K miles on front. Am really happy with the tire performance so far.

Had the Pilot Road 2's got great traction, mileage, it changed my handling for the better. Want to upgrade to 3's based on great reviews I have read.
John G on Feb 19, 2017
This is my second set of these tires. I got good wear performance and they track the road well. I never had any issue with hydroplaning and braking did not disappoint.
Douglas M on Oct 11, 2016
I chose this front tire for my Kawasaki Concours 1000 based on the reviews from this website and others.

I wanted to order a Michelin Pilot Road 3 for my Bmw K1300 GT in a 120 70 zr 17 and did not see it listed. This is a common size, whats up ?
null on Apr 9, 2012
BEST ANSWER: Thanks for your question! Unfortunately that size isn't available in the pilot road 3.
I hear that michellin is coming out with the commander III motorcycle tire in jan. 2020 is it suppose to be a lot better than the commander II? Eddie
Eddie Z on Oct 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Eddie, thank you for the question. Michelin claims that this tire is designed to exceed its predecessor with new tread compounds. Tread patterns and patented velvet sidewall designs enhance the styling as well. I guess we will have to wait and see to really know how much better it is supposed to be. By the information I just stated you can probably tell that I read the same article you did, at this point I really don't know more about it than you do. Hopefully we can get a Michelin rep to our facility pretty soon to check out the tire and learn more about it! Check back soon. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you by contacting us by email at [email protected], Live Chat or by phone toll-free at 1-888-339-3888. We are always more than happy to help.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you by contacting us by email at [email protected], Live Chat or by phone toll free at 1-888-339-3888.

towerclimber27 on Aug 29, 2013
BEST ANSWER: Thanks for your question! Yes this would be a good option for your machine. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
Is this tire a hard or soft rubber. Will this tire be compatable with a Bridgestone 130/70-18 excedra max. I have a Yamaha 1900 Stratoliner 2009.
Bob on Jan 22, 2013
BEST ANSWER: Thanks for your question! This is a dual compound tire, harder in the midddle for longevity and softer on the shoulders for grip. Normally it is recommended to stick with the same styel and brand tire for front and rear. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
will this tire work on my 2008 street glide. i have an a rc component wheel that now has a 160/60r/18 on it.
Dano on Aug 19, 2012
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The Michelin Pilot Road 3 Motorcycle Tire is available in the size needed. Excellent tire for all weather riding.
How is the "B" spec tire different from the regular 180/55 17 tire, I did not see any tread depth differance?

Fantastic tire
These tires have been excellent on my CB1100. I'm halfway through my second set. The first set ran for 12.5K miles on the front and 10K miles on the rear. Performance in the twisties and in the rain was excellent. I'll be buying these again.

Nice feel on the road
These tires replace 20+ year old tires on a 1992 BMW K1. They provide a nice feel of the road and good turing. Haven't used them in the rain yet but they should provide good traction.

Good Sport Touring Tires
After a 5,500 mile trip on a laden R1100RS, I've come to really appreciate these PR3s. I rode on a mix of slab and back roads, in hot weather and some rain, and they performed well. Looks like they still have a few thousand miles left on them. They are getting squared off ( the profile actually looks more like half a decagon ), so cornering transitions aren't as smooth as when new, but that's to be expected. They've held air well; I had to top them up 3 times in 3 weeks of travel between 8,000ft, sea level, and back. While I was happy with my previous PR2s, I think these are a step up all in all.

I THINK the pr3 wears better than the pr4 with similar performance on the front. So I'm running 4s on the rear and 3s on the front
