    I thought I would update my PR4 experience after some time. After the one track day and about 6K miles, my rear was pretty worn. I've put on more miles since but at about 6,600 miles, I'm to the wear bars and even the front is near that point. They have held under all conditions except oil on Mulholland. My PR3 tires lasted about 10K, but no track days and I wasn't hitting turns as hard.

    I'm interested in those too. Some track day company in the UK, I think, is running them on their bikes.

    Update - after the PR4s handling started to go off after about 6000 miles, I went for a pair of the new T30 Evo. Excellent so far through the winter, 3000 miles on them and loads of tread left.

    I can't find any difference between the regular and the EVO other than a higher price

    That's good to know. I can get a set installed with tax and everything, wheels on the bike, for $285.00. Regular T30 tires, that is.
