Pros: |
This was a stock tire that I was impressed with in all aspects. I've never been able to get 6800 miles out of any tire! I've always been one to experiment with other tires to get a feel for which ones are the best for me. After this tire wore out, I switched to a 'Sport Touring', the BT021... that was a mistake... I'm going back to this tire. Great prices on this tire too... Both tires were ready to be replace at the same time. I used to replace the rear 2x as often as the front, but the backs were gone in 3000 miles. This time, both lasted for 6800. I can't say enough about this tire! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cons: |
Can't think of any.... I haven't had it at the track to know how it heats up and holds in those conditions. I also haven't been in the rain, so I can't comment on that. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For a stock tire on this machine.... I'm very impressed!! Suzuki did their homework on this one (as well as Bridgestone, of course!) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
