My first set of PR4 GTs were delivered from Competition Accessories on 1/8/14
The front looks almost the same as a PR3 except the grooves and sipes are wider and look a bit deeper
The rear is similar to the PR3 though the grooves are wider, longer, in a slightly different pattern which includes a center set of grooves and wear indicator dots- no excuses for hitting the cords on this one. Again the grooves look deeper than a 3.
I didn't have a tread gauge handy but the grooves that appear deeper may be the indicator of why Michelin is claiming 30% more life than a PR3.
