Bridgestone S20 evo

I'll be interested to hear how you get on.

Now that I have new rubber on my bike and thinking about this again now, the S20s were pretty faultless up until around 10,000kms. Once the centre started noticeably flatting a bit that was when their tip in seemed to be affected, understandably.

I noticed it most on track after that point, but on the road and commuting with the tyre at regular temperatures and pressures it was still predictable and steered well.

Similar to my experience with the original S 20's cept half the mileage.

My bike had the original S20s on it when I bought it.

No clue as to how many kms were on them already but they didn't wear very well at all by comparison.

I got about 5000km out of a rear. Maybe 9 - 10 from the front...too expensive for my budget. PP3's have done way better but feel "heavier" than the S20.

The S20evo on the back of the Fz1 will be dead at 6000kms. Has never put a foot wrong but squaring off means handling is pretty average now.

Are you sure it's not an original S20? Seems a tad low, even for a torquier FZ1.

Can't see why you'd get a third of the mileage out of a rear than I did - unless you run really low pressures.

Forgot to note above that I always ran mine at around 36-39 in the front and 38-42 in the rear.

I think on track I had them set to 34-34 hot but then lowered them slightly to 32-32 hot.

Yes, it is an EVO. I wish it had lasted longer! I run 38psi. No track days either. Aftermarket
Shock properly sprung and set up by Dave Moss. Oh well.....

But you live in Christchurch. North Island roads are nicer on tyres.

Did 2500kms of that in the NI! Lol!
