The 1000 could quite easily overpower the grip but it always let go really predictably. On the 750 it was really amazing how well the 016 would hook up and the stability from the front was awesome.

Yup, that predictably compared to my K7 was there in droves, enjoyed the tyres too. One of those sessions on track where everything seems to click and you just go out and see how fast you can go.

But what is it they really know? The OEM rubber, as outlined earlier, is nothing like what they're likely to have available to replace it. They will presume that because the bike was originally fitted with "sports" tyres, then that's what they should aim to replace them with. But there's more, or should be more, to tyre choice then that, surely? Particularly how they generally ride their motorcycle, not by how short their dong is?

If they're riding the bike on the road, commuting, going with the flow, with just a bit of scratching, and they're interested in good wet and dry performance, not to mention tyre longevity, then yes.

If they're doing a bit of track riding, wheelies, stoppies, fine weather death-rush stuff to the Fush in Martinborough and home again over the hill, then no.

The final votes have been counted and we have two very deserving winners,

For the North Island the winner with 10 votes is Drew

For the South Island the winner with 4 votes is Onearmedbandit

We will be in touch with the winners soon to arrange collection and fitting of tyres, thanks to everyone who has taken part and we look forward to running another competion in the future.

Well I didn't even know I'd been nominated until I received a PM about it this morning. Thanks to everyone who voted for me, I look forward to putting some miles on these tyres and seeing how they compare to my previous rubber.

I've typically been a Michelin rider, although have also spent time on Dunlops, Pirelli and Metzler, so this will be my first real proper test of Bridgestone. Therefore I won't be comparing them to previous generation Bridgestones, but up against the likes of Pilot Pures, N-Tecs, Rennsports and Diablo's. I've got a track day coming up on the 31st of May where I'll be mentoring some newer riders, I'll definitely put some hard laps on them there too.

As has been said... yep, it's almost a year old, and even if this was current, you couldn't nominate yourself. Winners were announced ages ago.

Go buy some in the shop...

So, I found this thing on the internet where they were giving away free tyres so I joined up and nominated myself. Damn, there was like 14 pages of these dudes all hitting this guy up for free tyres. He must have a shitload of tyres.
