Your rebound is set too hard.

I'm in a toss up between the T30's and PR4 tires. Here's my curiosity. I can get a set of T30 for $164 plus install fees or i can get a set of PR4 for $350 plus install fees. Now I know, on the surface, the T30 seems like the tires I should get because of the 46% price difference. My concern between the two different tires is which one is better in the rain and which one is going to grip the best while having the best tread wear? I know that from experience, the PR3 tires I had last and last and I have never had them slip, even to the edges of the front tire. And, I had about 10K miles on my rear PR4 and I still have the front on at 12K+, but it is well worn.

I've read reviews that enthusiastic riders get about 6K - the above post 9K on the rear. I suppose that if I got 8K out of the rear, it would be a good tire for the price difference, but I am riding to NW Montana this June or July and I want a tire that will hold up to the droning tarmac of getting there. I have read in a multitude of places tha the T30 have great tip in and stellar grip, but I have also read that the PR4 have a better profile that also has a better tip in and I already know that they grip very well too.

Those that have had either the T30 or PR4, what do you say?

First world problems? I'm all for saving money, I just want the best value.

Hey where did you get your pricing from I can't find the T30's for any less than 269 a set.
