Bridgestone S20 tyre review

[BigAl]

Front s20 needs replacing at 6800, last PP2 did 9000.

Will replace with PP3 to match back which has done 4500 and looks slightly more than 1/2 worn.

on an R1.

Thank you for the feedback. If you don't mind my asking, what pressure did you run it at thoughout, what type of riding where you doing, and what did you think of the feel during your time on it?

Ran 36 front and 38 rear religiously, no track days or touring on the S20s just one up road riding.

I think that the S20s are softer and stickier than the PP2s and 3s as they get roughed up on the edges more.

They certainly inspired confidence.

I run 34 front. But then me bike's lighter anyway. 38 rear, same as you.

Hahaha, a strong wind would blow him away. I'm not a heluvalot lighter than you and Al would need a serious amount of pies to come close to me LOL

Nice work scrubbing the edge of the tyre off not the center or middle shoulder. Is your bike at standard geometry, no ride height changes?

Like you BigAl, I get the most out of my tyres, probably too much, as they're like slicks when I change them.
Thats the reason new ones feel so fantastic. I should really try to change them sooner.
I only ride in the dry nowdays so am really only thinking about punctures when they're that stuffed.

ps I'm jealous of your 'Rossi like' proportions. gotta help with tyre wear ?

Yeah funnily enough that's what the laaaadies say too

Fork legs flush with top bracket and set up fairly soft. Rear Ohlins needs a lighter spring so prolly a bit higher than std
