Pilot Road 4s on a sportsbike?

[Benbay001]

I picked up a 954 Blade this weekend.
Its generally in VGC but will soon need a new rear tyre.

Ive always had pilot road 2s on both the bikes ive owned and have had no issues with them, however the Blade is a whole lot more powerful.
Will the blocks move about too much and overheat?

Thank you

Good to hear such positive things about pr4s

[Benbay001]

I suspect ill do 8k a year, did 10k last year.
Ill be riding spring summer and autumn and occasionally in winter on the warmer days.
My riding is average speed (for a motorcyclist) with the occasional very fast ride.
I may do a track day, depends upon funds.

Cheers

Just thought id update this as i went for the PR4s in the end.
The back was changed in December.
And i changed the front today.

I am very chuffed! having done 1500 miles at a decent pace on the blade the tyre seems to be wearing well considering the horror stories about sportsbike tyre wear i have read. Feedback is good and dry grip is above my ability and wet is confidence inspiring.

Recommended!

Yes, afaik the sizes are not the issue, but if you look at the Michelin site, it is not a recommended tyre for the 690s.

Didn't know recommended tyres existed. It will be fine. A 690 with a 100kg person on will weigh the same as my blade with me (70kg) on
