Bridgestone A41s atm and I think they are really good. Loads of grip wet or dry and quiet. I like them.

So after weighing up a few thoughts I have ordered Roadtec 01s and aim to get them fitted tomorrow afternoon. They were more expensive than the PR4/5 trails which were very similar money to each other. PR5 Trails were not in stock and would take 3 days to get from the factory. that didn't influence my decision.
Depending upon how the 01s perform I might go to PR5s next
The a40 are great done 6k so far and only half worn so expecting 10 k out of them imo good grip both wet and dry with long life so the a41should be betterBridgestone A41s atm and I think they are really good. Loads of grip wet or dry and quiet. I like them.
I like Annakee 3s, no problem with grip at all. After my first set on the GSA, I switched to PR4s and 3k miles of mixed roads (I rarely use motorways) along with 3 punctures the rear is shot.(I'm now shit hot with my stop n go kit though )
I'm fitting a PR4 GT to the rear this weekend so I can get more life from the front, but then back to Annakee 3s for me, relatively cheap and good wear and grip.
People who complained of them being noisy, have you ever listened to your motor

I misread the last sentence and wondered how Fluffmeister knew my mother
You might have to start calling him...…….Dad.
Standard Anakee things were shot by 3000 miles, not even two up use. They were good when fresh but lost shape quick.
Conti Road Attack3;
just back from a 2300mile trip.Ijmuiden, Eifel, Andermatt, Fondo (italy) back via Austria, Germany, Eifel. Already had 1000miles on the tyres so now around 3300 miles.
Superb in all conditions. Racing up Giau pass (naughty, but no saint), In the rain over a pass near Saint Anton. Just cant fault the tyres. Look barely worn with a mix of high speed riding and fast touring with and without luggage. The compulsory speed test on an autobahn was fine with luggage to just over 130mph. Back used right to the edge, faintest strip left on the front.
Very happy with them and at current rate of wear will work out much, much cheaper than Anakee things.
Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2, best ever new favorite tyre..........at the moment.
Just got back from 2,200mls of glorious hot and sunny France. I love the feeling of these tyres, they have a flattish profile which means they have neutral turn in and a very secure feel.
They have more than enough grip for my needs, enough to grind the foot brake lever, my bike is a 2017 low chassis GS TE.
I normally get through a rear in about 3,000mls these still have enough tread to take me to 4000mls at a guess, they started with a lot of tread depth.
Definately get them next time, was going to try the PR5 but I don't think they will last as long.
I have not tried them in the wet, a friend on his second set says they are as good as anything else he has tried, that's good enough for me as our riding speed is the same.
