BRIDGESTONE BT-023

Post by speedybrother »

I am far from needing new tyres yet, but before you know it I will be hunting around for repalcements I have been reading about the Bridgestone BT-023, reads well an `all things to all men' type of tyre. Has anyone used them and if so impressions.

I am currently on Metzler Z8 which are pretty much faultless, but if there is something better out there I am happy to try them. Like all other R1200R pilots I love corners and a bit of sports touring (even in the wet).

Cheers

I really like 'em.
They've been wearing like a touring tire, and they inspire as much confidence as my old 2CTs.

A very good tyre for the R1200R is the Pirelli Angel ST. Good grip, very good in wet and the tyre test "Motoplus Europe" with the Michelin pilot power 2 the best sport/tour tyre =D>
