On the VFR FB page, a guy posted a thread about how he loved the Mich R5s but he was getting lots of punctures in the wide grooves and was switching brands. Others said the R5s were soft.
I didnt think alot about this but as I had a used R5, three new ones, and a used Bridgestone front and two Bridgestones that were wearing like Iron on my XT, I decided to investigate. I would have to say that MAYBE he had a point. The R5s are clearly more plyable and do have those big grooves. While I havent had a flat with a PR4 or R5, and like the tires, I am wondering if YOU think he may have a point.
