Title: Tires Post by: NAKID on June 18, 2015, 02:26:20 PM I will be needing new tires soon. I've been running the Pilot Road 2s for the last couple of tire changes. Despite the 3, and now the 4 being out, I don't see the price dropping on the 2. Does anyone know of a decent source? The prices I've seen have been all over the board. Anywhere from 180-210 for the same size (180/55/17).

Still don't understand how a Power 3 is cheaper than a Road 2... Title: Re: Tires Post by: ducpainter on June 19, 2015, 11:03:45 AM Still don't understand how a Power 3 is cheaper than a Road 2...

I guess that makes sense. It just seems odd to me that their higher tier tire would be less expensive...

It's only higher tier if you're a sport rider.Many people run Roads on the track...they're not a 'lesser' tire. |
