on my bike @ the moment ive got bridgestone btoo2s these are track based tyres!! ive done 4 trackdays and another 1500 miles riding on road. the bloke i got them off had already put three 20 minute sessions(so he says!! could have done more)
on the track their so predictable, give you loads of feedback and compared to the dunflop 209s i had last year there awsome and i would deffinetly use them again.
it was pishing it down today and i tried to get them to spin up in the wet and they just gripped every time even managed to pull a wheelie(accidently!!!). very wet, puddles that looked like lakes
there is very little side gripe left;P:D:) and there almost on the wear limit so there due for changing got i got racetecs are waiting to go on.
I’ve still got the OE Dunlop’s on my SV. I think they were fashioned out of a lump of pure bakelite. They are rubbish. As soon as I wear them out (which won’t be long) I’ll be getting some Michelin Pilot Road 2s
Those Michelins have a lot of fans, I may try them next time, though the new Dunlop RoadSmart sound pretty impressive. I use Avon AV55/56 on the VFR, excellent especially in the wet, 7000 miles on them and loads to go. Cheaper than Pilot Roads too.
bike came with MAXXISS on it hadnt heard of them, but they warm up a treat stick like the proverbial to a blanket wet or dry, just a shade soft for heavy bike, need new rear in under 2 months and 3.5k :w00t: so getting 021 fitted this week hope that last longer !!
got dunlop qualifiers on the srad ok in the dry didnt like it in the wet round brands last night:w00t: (but it was like a river) The gullarm has bridgestones on and they didnt scare me in the wetwhen they are shot i will be getting M2cts on it as i had a set on the k3 gixer i had and they where great in the wet and dry
No idea if they’re good, they were on the bike when I got it and can’t compare against anything else. The previous owner swears by them on all his bikes though.
Wouldn’t recommend what I’ve got frogga, don’t want these, terrible tyres, no good for track days at all, really evil handling hard as rock rubber they are, nothing to see here, move along
I’ve not booked into this track day, next one is Cadwell next week Hoping this wet period has passed by then. I feel for them though, Paddock hill is scarey enough in the dry let alone with a river running down it :w00t:
