Pilot Road 3 failure - contentious...

[DucHead]

I searched for this description of disastrous Michelin PR3 failure, but found nothing.

If someone points out my Derby, I'll delete this thread.

I don't know what's worse, the actual failure, or the trolling afterwards.

[zarn02]

That's pretty nuts.

Just mounted a rear PR3 yesterday, hope thats not the case.

I've got a friend rolling from Pennsylvania to California on an ST2 with PR3's.

Great. 

[Armor]

I have PR3's and no problems.  I would definitly let Michelin see that tire.

[El Matador]

Another vote for skepticism here. PR3's here as well nothing but the best tyre I've ever ridden on.

Is it possible to counterfeit tires? The Chinese have found unbelievable ways to make fakes out of just about everything else. And I do mean everything else.

Michelin tires are just too damned good to come apart like that. They're all I ever buy! I have a set on one of my cars right now that looks brand new after 35k.

he got 10k miles on that tire?  sounds like a hell of a tire to me. 

[aaronb]

i can believe the rear, but the front too... at almost the exact same time?  come on. 

[Raux]

I find it hard to believe those tires have 10k miles on them.

I've got a friend rolling from Pennsylvania to California on an ST2 with PR3's.

Great.  

Speaking as the loving owner of a (once again sidelined by electrical issues) ST2, the tires are the least of his concerns.

I'm lucky to get 3500 miles out of a rear....
