Ordered a set of these yesterday from Jake Wilson. Came back from Bathurst yesterday and found the front tyre slipping around in the wet. Almost got home and then nearly lost the front end on a roundabout at Norwest, just managed to get my foot down and popped the bike back up dirt bike style. At home and some inspection of the front found that after almost 12000Km's I had worn out the right side of the tyre almost and teh rear was looking a little flat spotted (which i was aware of and was expecting to replace at the next service)

Enough was enough 1 hour later and reading many reviews the new tyres were ordered. I could not believe the difference in pricing even including shipping costs. Now all i need to do is to find a local garage to swap the tyres over when they arrive....

Anyone know a garage near castle hill that will swap tyres over??

OMFG. sorry for the profanity. The tyres arrived yesterday from Jake wilson 3 days door to door great service. Have ordered Dynabeads from the Uk too and thankfully due to a business trip will be waiting for me at the old folks home on tuesday so I can bring them back with me too. All i need to do now is find a friendly garage to fit them for me. Too much of a wose to fit them myself.

On first inspection they seem to have much more water channels that the stock bridgestones. Only time will now tell as to their performance.

PR3's Fitted and installed with Dynabeads. First ride of the day seems okay but need to do more to full test them out.
