Every one settles out to a tyre that suits them----Or their pocket and I have settled out on Michelins and PR series most of the time but Lithions for the winter use.

Despite all the Bumph about the 3's being better than the 2's and 4's being better than the 3's--- I can't tell the difference. All I know is that as the new series was announced- I got a deal on the old ones. The Lithions by the way are cheap tyres and I take care in the wet as they do not grip as well as the PR's but winter riding and tyres get cut about more and I would rather scrap a cheap tyre than the new expensive one I bought last month.

But There are tyres I have had on bikes that I most definitely did not like. The OM's that came on the Pinnie never did feel right and after two punctures on one ride- I scrapped them. Did not even keep them as spares for others to use. Replaced with PR 3's and transformed the cornering of the bike.
