I was more astonished at seeing a Pilot Sport of that vintage, does Mr Michelin still make these? Never mind the OPs question...that induces merely a mild headshake.

That transition from centre to shoulder compound is uncanny on the Road 5s...and it looks like you've been having fun on them mainland roads...

Nice tyre, well suited to bikes like ours :D Wonder if the new S22 will be as much fun :banana:

Fair enough, if judging by OEM stuff made by Bridgestone, I'd not buy one either. Must add my suspension has been upgraded, so tyres have an easier life that way. No I didn't weigh the T31s prior to fitting them, much the same as PR4s. M7RRs noticeably lighter, like the PP3s. The T31s seem to...

Not up to play with that one, middle of February is all that comes to mind for the ARHT ride.

Nah, not me Mike, I was at work instead...

Coromandel coast road NZ. Just bend after bend...
