I am of the belief that the Pilot Road 2 has as much edge grip as the M3 however it lasts three times as long!! I have 11,000klms on the one which is on the back of the Beemer and it looks as though it has another 4 at least left in it!!!! 8)

Well i have fully run in the m3 now after 250km's its grips so well, my last tyre was a bald battlax and the 9 just used to chew it up and wheel spin coming through corners, but now it just bites into the road and goes! Even does better wheel stands now and back wheel has stopped spinning.

I rode my mates R1 with pilots on the back and i reckon the M3's are HEAPS better!!

Well went to pick up my rensport tyre tonight and decieded against it as it was too worn to be of any use to me.I was only gonna use it to even up my useage of the m3s as i had to replace the rear before the front when in adelaide.They useually wear out together but hey there still the best tyre for the 9 ;)
