Bridgestone Battlax T30 - Free tyre giveaway

[caspernz]

Agreed, I have read OAB's review on the 023's? but I like the sound of the T30 tyre thus far, and naturally, if you are endorsing them, they obviously have merit. Grip in the wet is what I miss about the PR3's.

Wow, you were finding grip in the wet an issue with PR3s? Really...my footpegs beg to differ...

But let me cast another vote for Hitcher, for the simple reason that I enjoy his brutal honesty

From how I read Maha's post, he misses the PR3s because of how much grip they have in the wet.

This be correct.

Maha, the BT021 is very outdated now, and the biggest improvements made in the BT023 and T30 are there wet grip over prevous iterations. I think you would be plesantly surprised if you tried either the BT023 (for premium mileage) or the T30 (for premium touring grip) over the BT021, particularly if you liked the feel of them when you first rode them.

Nice but Shinko's for the win over the 023's. Be interested to try out the T30's once I'm down to the canvas.

OAB is testing the S20, which is our current Sports tyre - one version more sporty than the T30 or BT023, which essentially share a categories. From the information we have to date, we are expecting T30 to have the best wet grip for road ever available from Bridgestone, who (for the last few years) have been renoun for wet ability in both BT023 and the BT016-PRO and then the S20 which replaced it about a year ago.

The Shinko's are a great tyre, that win on price and give away probably a little in extreme performance and wet grip. I'm glad you like them on the poor old TeDiuM. How do you find them in the wet Scracha? If you go T30, you know I will want to hear what you think

I'll be interested to see how the new T30 performs. I'm on a CB 1300 with Shinko Verge's & getting exceptional milage from them.
