Bridgestone BT-016

[Cajun]

See what that test says about the Michelins though Pussy? Backs up what I was saying yesterday about there not being much between them. probably just personal preference on the 'feel' (it's all in your head I'm telling you! ) and I wouldn't be surprised if the Michelins get slightly better mileage, be good if some Pilot Power @CT users chimed in at this point....

But either way, both good tyres IMHO

2ct are not as good as normal PP i think, will be replacing the the tires on the ape to 016 i think, some stage shortly

In what way? Something substantive or are you referring more to that personal preference/'feel' issue that seems to plague motorcyclists when it comes to tyres?

[Pussy]

Mmm, yep that's about what I would have expected. (Pussy will probably get more mileage though the way he rides... )

Yes.... very skilfully!
Seriously... they should last almost as well as the M3. I'm happy to accept a little less life out of the 016 for the awesome feel they have

[cs363]

Yes.... very skilfully!

I'll let you get away with seeing as you spent almost a whole hour thinking it up....

16's have great feel, but mileage is abysmal. 2CT's last a good deal longer, even sport attacks last longer than 016's.

not on my gixxer they didn't, i sold the 2ct's after one ride on 'em.. they sucked donkey balls...

If you're referring to mileage, they're basically the same!

Righto, I'll keep that in mind!

Ypu don't need to pay any attention, you keep ambling along on the rubber you like.

Fitted a BT016 to rear of the busa. Replaced the BT015 at 7250kms with about a 1000ks left on it. It will be interesting to see how I like this rubber and how it lasts.

Another very informative post from Boom Buster.

I'm loving the BT-016s!
Feels like they were custom designed for my bike

yeah we done 900ish km on a set 016 on the aprilia and seam very good.

[Pussy]

They steer very neutral on the sem fiddy... the bike just does what you tell it to.
I like the comfort characteristic of them, too.
BT-016 will be the next set!

Looks like I'm prolly going back over summer unless I get talked into trying something new.

Must say the M3's have been great but I prefer the BT-016 overall (if wet weather and longivity aren't the main concerns).

Wondering how many days at Hampton Downs BT-016's will last though
