BT020 <----- Worst ..... Tire....... Ever!

How come?

Ok was a bit of a fan of them for economical reasons...
They were built for a purpose, ok not the best out there at the time if you wanted pure grip but i found them quite a good compromise on the rear of the barge with a BT014J on the front and predictable unlike the original Dunlops :shock:

Still, did its job well with 7-8k kms of life. Which is absolutely brilliant on a 12R. ;) If I was more flush with funds i would have put renns' on, but would have been a waste really. I was replacing the rear every 4 or so weeks as it was...

ATM the shinko 5 rear I have on the 9R has an awefully flat arc profile and drops over at the last minute like a bastard, for me to even mention it it is bad. Soon as I have spare funds their going to the burnout gods.

:lol: - I reckon they are actually a pretty good tyre.......not the French ones though, they are shite.

OEM Dunnies I think its a universal sentiment that they are crap. But the 208's and the Qualies are much much better then the OEM dunnies.....

The 016 B'stones got my vote. :)

I have a Qualifier RR (had no choice af the time.. :roll: ) on the rear for the last 1000k's.
They don't have the same feel as the 'stones, but has done nothing wrong so far.

I agree with the 016 fronts having an a very low km life.

I had a look at my front today ( less than 3000k's ) and im now the proud owner of slicks :roll:

Its the second one i've had and its the first tyre i've had in almost 20yrs of riding that chews up fronts before the rear!

Any suggestions for fronts ? i was thinking PR2 or 2CT or Supercorsa or rosso ?????

They're the best tyre I've found so far. I liked the M3's when they were knew but once they got a bit shagged they felt ordinary on the 10
