Anyone tried the new Michelin Pilot Road 3's

The new Michelin Pilot Road 3's look interesting. They look like they should wear well and stick good in the corners. I'm thinking of getting the "B" spec tire as I almost always have the wench on the back. I would love to hear from someone who has tried them.

I have them on my B400.  Handle well, haven't had them long enough to comment on wear.  Previously were Shinko Podium 006's which handled very well but wore out too fast (~5,000 miles).

I tried to order a set yesterday and nobody has the B spec (for heavier bikes) in stock and I'm down to the wear bars on the OEM Dunlops (4K Miles), so I ordered a set os Bridgestone Battlax-023 GT's. These are also pretty new and a replacement fro the 021's. I would appreciate any feedback on these also. I would still like to try the Michelin PR3's down the road, once they catch up with production.

I bought a PR3(front) for my '02 B12 and had it mounted today but no miles on it yet. I took off a PR2 front which had 18,800 miles, no kidding.

I've run thru several sets of PR2's and they were great in the wet or dry.  The PR3's are supposed to equal to the PR2's in the dry and even better in the wet and supposed to be even longer lasting in the middle.  My son has the PR3's on his 1G B12 and he loves them (and he rides in the wet a lot more than I do).  Unless something better happens along, the PR3's will certainly be my next set of tites.

I would like to hear opinions of max braking capability of the PRII vs PRIII.  I'm running the II's now and always had run Road Attacks before.  The II's have way less grip than the RA's and I wondering if the III's are any better.
