New Tires

[rregal]

I just changed the original BT-021 tires on my FZ6r for the new Bridgestone BT-023 and I am very satisfied. The 21's lasted 7000 miles of mostly commuting to work. The BT-023 gives me the same performance overall but with better cornering traction.

Cool man. Curious as to how much you paid for everything (tires, mounting, balancing)

Check around, one of my local shops beat that as their normal price, BT023 is a great tire though! :thumbup:

Still liking the 023s? How's the wet traction? Anyone tried Michelin Pilot Road 3s?

Still on my original tyres at 11,500 miles

Reckon I still have at least a 1000 miles left in the rear, front has loads left :steve:

I'm using the Michelin pilot power 2CT tires. The amount of grip over the stock tires is very noticeable and the bike wants to lean into turns easier.
