BT014 tyres?

Anyone had experience with these tyres?

Looks like this is a newish tyre with sizes for the VFR400 18 inch rear, so a new option.

these arent bad at all, the NEW Bridgestone Bike tyre importer does the 014's as a "budget" radial, so you should find a set reasonably affordable

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a hard charger, theres also the latest BT003 Racing Street, basically the full-on race tyre, but compounded to warm up fast for safety on the road. Seem to wear REALLY well considering the grip level they provide ......

They melt.

But if you're not running them at below 30psi (a learning experience) and riding hard they probably will hold up fine. I never had a traction problems with them.

I would consider them a soft tyre but with out the grip better tyres have. I won't be buying them again because I am still not sure they would hold up to my riding.
