    List is about $600 (same as the PP 2CT). They did me a better deal tho so I'm sure they would for you.

    Are they OEM fitment tyres, or off the shelf type?

    Was assuming they were used tires off some bike. Not bad if theyre brand new.

    So after 8000km I figure it's worth an update.

    Had two trackdays on these tyres and about 3-4000km of motorway commuting. I ride them fairly hard and they see WOT in first fairly often

    I think I've got about 1000km left before the rear will square off to the wear markers and the front probably has about 1500km left on the sides. I'm not going to find out as I'm getting new hoops tomorrow for the Honda trackday on Sunday.

    I think even without the commuting I'd be getting similar life as the sides on the rear do wear down faster than the middle when doing a lot of twisty riding.

    Pressures (cold) have mainly been:
    34F/36-38R for street/open road
    30F/32R for track

    I've been very impressed by the stability of the front and the grip under power on the rear. Yes if you're on the track you might hit the limit of the rear grip but it lets go very predictably under power and only really if you roll on the the gas while still hard over.

    I trail the front brake to the apex (on the track) and have never had any hint of them letting go. No pushing or anything. Clearly I could go faster

    One thing to watch is warm-up times (2 full laps of Taupo for full grip) so might not make the best winter tyres. Dunno as so far I've found the wet performance ok.... Anyway I'm switching to M3's over winter to give them a go and because they're reported to warm up really fast.

    Would I buy the BT-016 again? Totally. They're fucking fantastic tyres for a sports bike.

    Look forward to comparing to the M3's

    The M3 front tyre is the best front tyre ive ever used. Never used the rear though. Ive got a super slippery Z4 on my Fazer, thats actually quite fun

    I've just changed my front tyre FROM a M3 to a BT016.
    I love it! Nice profile, and holds a line nice on the road.
    I found the M3 "tram tracked" a lot.
    I'm even considering retiring the rear M3 early, and fitting a BT016 on the back

    016's are the best tires I've used on the road. I gave my R6 death around the coro expecting it to push but it held very well. See what I did to it following DucatiHard in my profile pic! O.o Different story on the track though. Nice one!

    I have them on my VFR750. They feel great on the road. I lent the bike to a mate to ride on 2 trackdays and he says they grip well too.

    One thing I am a little surprised with is the wear rate on the rear. These tyres have only done about 3000km and the rear is almost shot. May get one more track day out of them... By comparison my Fireblade has done maybe 8000km with 4 track days on 2CTs with much less wear. Odd.

    Shit, I've only done 200km on my BT-016 rear and it's already looking sad. Something tells me it ain't going to last too long, but its sure got some grip

    They're good for 600's and bikes with less torque than the 1000'ds... they do wear fast but they've got 3 compounds soo.... not sure how it would be on a thou.
