## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought these to replace another set
*by B***4 on February 16, 2023*

PP2's are a phenomenal tire that will make you look better than you are. I bought these to replace the set that came on my 99 VFR. Lean in is great and you can scrape whatever you have the 🥚🥚 's to put to pavement all day long. My old set (2015 old) are still sticky as heck but even the boldest (dumbest) among us knows not to push their luck forever... a little expensive yeah but so worth it!!
