Just got some road 4's put on mine.
Only about 300 miles on them so far so too soon to comment, other than they feel promising

Pilot Road 4s query
Commute 38kms one way everyday so definately went for sport touring tyres.
Had PR3s before and did around 19 thousand kms on them.
Had the rear plugged at 4000kms from a bolt - the plug held up pretty well.
Just wondering if anyone used the same tyres and what pressure do you run them at for both commuting or twisties?
Thanks

Have had PR4's for almost 5000kms
I've stuck to the manual spec for most of it (I do more commuting than twisties due to where I live):
Rear 42
Front 36
Been awesome to have. I found that when it's wet, you don't want the pressure to drop too much otherwise they aren't as effective (stay within 3 PSI).

I'm going to try 35/35 for twisties some weekend soon.
Also I assumed lower pressure when wet is better e.g. more rubber on the road = more grip?
You guys are running 42 cold!? JESÚS, your bikes have to be twitchy as hell...
Maybe. I've had more slide outs on lower pressure in the wet though (tyres were around 36 and I almost lost it while barely taking a large corner at half the speed (was very much upright)). But didn't have any issues when I had 40psi.I also run at factory recommend 36/42

I thought the high pressure from a firmer tyre which would result in more water being dispersed, but I could be wrong. The roads out here are rubbish, it's pretty bad.
