Can't make my mind up whether I just need to grow a pair, or its the tyres.

In the dry I love them, but I just can't seem to get any sensation of feedback in the wet.

Is it just me? Anyone else tried these for all year round riding?

Glad it's not just me then. Think I'll go see the local guys about getting some PR4s fitted. I use the bike in all weathers, but only just changed bike recently so wondered if it was me and/or the bike. It came with the pirellis and never had them before.

Think I'll keep a hold of them though to stick on if I get the chance of a track day next year. Sounds like they're better for dry hard miles anyway.

Well, having taken on board the feedback, I had PR4s installed on Friday.

For me, its totally transformed the bike already, despite still going through the initial running in phase. Already I have more sense of feel, and particularly confidence in the front end.

I hear what others are saying that all bar a few track/summer focussed tyres can perform in cold/damp conditions, and that the DCRs were probably fine, its just clear that there were not for me.

Very happy boy, and an early chrimbo present to boot! biggrin
