Feh. 

I'll stick with the Pilot Road 4 GT unless they come out with an extended range version of the 5 that lasts at least as long (and that's not in this announcement). Also, the tread pattern on the rear Road 5 appears to actually be less aggressive than the PR4 - this puzzles me.

Those look really good. My Norge is due for some new tires soon. (It currently has about 8,500 miles).

What they're saying about the compound and the new and improved siping is exactly what they said when they introduced the Pilot Road 4, and the 3 before that, I expect. They just hope we all forget before the next model introduction. Still a good tire, I bet.
