Thanks for the heads up. My PR2's are getting a little worn, and these are only a few bucks more each to replace them.

i wish i did not bulk buy the P2R...i have three P2R tyres - that'll take me about 1.5 years to wear out.

Brian6751 03-07-08 05:38 PM

I have these and love them. I have no interest in the 4000s anymore. This is now my tire of choice for anything. Glad PBK carries them so quickly.

DUH!!!! Ebay the Pro Race 2s and get the 3's!!! Problem solved!

thesober 03-07-08 05:52 PM

I'm waiting for different colours to be stocked. I hope they have an all black version instead if this black/grey version.

The grey is on the center this time instead of the outside. Looks good IMO. Did they ever come out with a all grey Pro Race 2? I dont think they did, so buy now, enjoy now.

I'm so pissed, I ordered 2 pro race 2's from pbk yesterday!!! Luckily already have one set of PR3's that I love :)

I stocked up on pr2's also but I like the black/blue anyway.

well, on one of my bikes, i did close to 4,000km and still had a fair bit of rubber (i.e. no exposed casing/thread). only reason i chucked it out was because of a pretty big cut through the casing that showed the inner tube (and i rode it in that condition for about 1,000km with no puncture before realising that the black thing i saw through the cut was the inner tube). on another bike, i have done about 3,400km and it's probably good for another 2,000km+. last year, my annual mileage was about 12,000km, so three tyres should last me about 1.5 years (i swap front to rear). i was under the impression that these are race tyres with low mileage but they seem to last a long time. perhaps i'm not putting out enough wattage???

nah...i'll probably get the P3R for my main bike and keep the P2Rs for my training/beater bike...or sell them to friends.

Tires don't last as long if you're putting out _more_ not less wattage.

They do everything I want a tire to do. They feel as though they are not there and yet soften the ride and grip like hell.

+1
One of the better descriptions of the benefits of these pieces of rubber.

What is the puncture resistance for these?

Yeah, they are nice, too bad I flat every 200 miles with these tires.....

Maybe the 3's will treat me better. but....... First I need to buy another 10 speed cassette for my 3rd set of wheels. I'd rather spend 60 bucks and have more shwag than keep changing them out-

thesober 04-25-08 04:09 PM

They are on sale this weekend!

cyclingvirtual 04-25-08 04:44 PM

What way are they claimed to be better than PR2's ?

Will tyhey make me faster :)

Hearnia 04-25-08 04:50 PM

My LBS said these are 20 grams lighter than the pro race 2s. They weigh'd 'em.

How many miles are you guys getting out of the 3s?
