OK So a few days ago I got some BT-003 put on the bike preparing to hit the track next Friday. Since I've never run those tires I wanted to take the bike out for a short ride to break them in and get a feel for them on familiar roads. HOLY $#!T!!!! I've been using the BT023's since I've been commuting so much for the last year. But I've decided the bike is just going to be a weekend toy again and I'll be driving my car only. The 023's lasted forever (nearly 8000 miles the first set and the second still looked fairly new when I had them changed on Tuesday with 3800 miles on them.) but they always felt a little like they weren't in the road. Always kind of felt a little sketchy when I was carving the canyons. I knew the 023's were losing grip when I actually slightly spun the rear tire coming out of a corner on Palomar a month ago. Our bike shouldn't have enough power to do that with good grippy tires. But there was no hint of that with these 003's. They were insane. I just got home from putting 100 miles on them in the local canyons. Put a little lean angle on them but not as much as I could since I didn't want to put too much wear on them before I hit CVR on Friday. But the amount of grip these tires have is absolutely insane right from the start.
