Sue and I swear by PR4s in fact when buying a new bike we have them fitted from new.

Nope.

Just the best road tyre I've ever ridden on, and I've ridden bikes for a long time, like Rocker, only not quite as many. 😄

Not tried these yet as we have been waiting to read of others experiences with them. For us the PR4s are more than adequate.

Or if the price is right Pirelli Angel GTs are as good as the PR4s. I would go for either

Trying continental road attack 3 at the moment. Mainly commute into Manchester from Littleborough. After 4k,  im real pleased with them. Wiil probably try PR4'S next.

For straight line stuff and very decent wear rates try conti motion ‘s , very economical tyre , wet grip adequate

Another vote for the Conti 'Road Attack' from me. Had them on my FJ for three years now, after fitting Exup/Genesis wheels. Also got them on my RT, and use 'Trail Attacks' on my GS. If I go ahead and get an NC I'll be specifying them for it.

They do seem to wear a bit quick, (~6-7k for rear)  but that's the trade off you get for S-T-A-S stickiness.

The suggestion of Conti Motions might be worth considering if most of your riding is vertical.
