Free tyres!

[Eurotred (NZ) Ltd]

Hello all,

We are the NZ distributor for Bridgestone motorcycle tyres, and we have a new product being launched next month - the new S20 Hypersport. These are born out of MotoGP development for "peak handling performance" in all road or track conditions. The marketing material we have on these is impressive, and includes such superlatives as "exceptional, confident, improved and superb".

But, are they? We need your help to decide! We are offering a set of free S20 tyres to 2 respected, professional and objective KB members, who can provide us (through this forum) with objective and honest reviews of the tyres please. Hopefully they're as good as we think they will be!

We are taking nominations for these 2 KB members from now until the end of March. Whoever gets the most nominations / votes will get a free set fitted at their local Bridgestone stockist at the end of April when the shipment arrives. Here's the fine print:

- 1 rider from North Island, 1 from South Island (different road conditions etc.)
- the product is a hypersport high-end road and track tyre (think new BT016 PRO), so those with GN250s will unfortunately not qualify
- the nominated riders agree to provide honest and objective reviews of the tyres on KB in different intervals (eg. brand new, 2,000km, 5,000km)
- the nominated riders agree to have their image and review extracts potentially used in advertising

Please let me know of any other questions. Ideally people would not nominate themselves?

If I have posted this in the incorrect forum area, or if this content/competition is not suitable for KB, I apologise in advance. Otherwise we look forward to receiving nominations and getting the real skinny on the new S20s.

I could use some free tyres! But I can't nominate myself...damn. Oh well, never mind...I got me some 016Pro's on hold anyhoo...

[BigAl]

I nominate Slofox as he is always buying tyres

[placidfemme]

I nominate DMNTD, with the amount of bikes this guy has owned and how he rides I would say he has given you a bit of business thus far

He would probaly bin the bike before the tyres are worn out.

[Phreak]

I nominate Grant`, he'll give them a proper work out!!!

Also I know he'd love to give a very descriptive write-up on their performance. He'll use any excuse to go out for a ride!

[SMOKEU]

I would nominate myself if I knew how to ride properly.

You take that back!!! We all know he will bin it before they are even fitted!

[DEATH_INC.]

I'd be keen, but 5000 k's from a sports tyre???? You'd have to be kidding...

[Timmeh:P]

I am nominating Grant` as well... With his preditor he would give em a good old workout.

If I could, I would nominate myself and chuck em on the Daytona... The last set of BT016's I had on my Striple were awesome!

[nzspokes]

Another for Grant.

Im to much of a pussy for great tyres.
