Re: [ST] Bridgetone BT010 tires on a Sprint ST?

["Mike Benzon" <fast87@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I just finished running a BT010 on my front. I thought it was a fine
tire, excellent grip and feed back. I got 5000 miles out of it. I was riding
with two other guys during the week at Sonomafest who were running Dunlop's
207's and they were complaining about their front tires slipping on road
surfaces that my BT010 was not slipping. One result I was not happy about
was the cupping that developed after some hard riding. The tire seemed to
work well with two different rear tires, first one a Metzler MEZ4 and the
second a BT020. I just recently installed a new BT020 on the front, but I
haven't had a chance to run it hard.  I choose to run the BT020's because I
am more interested in long wear than grip. I figure that I can have plenty
fun with the grip of almost any modern radial motorcycle tire, so the length
of wear is more important to me.
