If you never tried something, how would you know if you like it or not? LOL

PR3's are one of the old michelin fronts (power race), the power one's are the new ones. I never tried the old michelins, a lot of people talk shit about them, but prob 4/5 of them never even tried em. Nice thing is a lot of places are selling them real cheap. I do have to say the new michelins rock, I was getting them for 380 a set, pretty much the same price as the pirelli diablo supercorsas. The michelins have a stiffer carcass vs. the pirellis. The have an A, B, C rear (soft -> hard), and A and B front and a V front. The V front is like and A tire but it more triangulated for better turn in. Personally I never tried the V front, I was content running A and B fronts. Yes contingency is better vs. pirelli if you're winning races, for me though I seemed to get more life out of michelin tires.
