Michelin power race compunds

I have noticed PR1 thru PR7 on the dots. How do the numbers correspond with the compund names?

PR 1-2 are front tires. PR 1 is softer, PR 2 is not as soft as PR 1.
PR 4 and 5 are rears, with 4 softer than 5.
I heard there is a PR 3 rear tire out too but I have only used 1-2 and 4-5. Personally i am using the PR 5 rear most at 22PSI in the 4 and 5.

melk is right...no pr6 or 7

I have used a PR3 and they are good for one (yes one) sprint only. A 4 is pretty soft and will last about 3 sprints. I have had good luck with the PR5 being damn sticky and wearing very well and being able to hold up for gto or gtu's

there is soe debate on the frt but I like the PR1 even if I use a PR5 on the rear I like the feel of the PR1 up front. There is a new front but....well...we cant really get them yet :(
