The bird came out with the BT021. I'll go back to them. Live and learn......
The only reason I ended up with the PR2 was because everyone said it had a little better wet traction and lasted a bit longer than the BT (which is why I was stumped when you reported low mileage). The BT was like $24 cheaper, tho.
Pilot Road 2s grip well wet or dry and last. But, to each his own..I know how quickly these tyre threads turn ugly.

Yep, this last time around I had a hard time deciding between the PR2 and the BT021 (I actually had the BT ordered at one point...lol).

No fight outta me, Dave.

The rear I run at 38 on these, and would on 021's or PR2's. It's hard enough to keep the tire round under heavy load (less flatting in the middle), and traction is still good.

For whatever reason, this particular bike works better with the front tire at a higher presure than I usually run. I've had the Dunlop 207's that came on it, and now have 'Stone BT016's on it now, and in both cases the bike handles WAY better with 37-38 pounds in the front... a pressure I've _never_ used in a front tire. I've yet to use 021's on this bike, but I have lots of experience with them, and I have no reason to believe the presure would be different with those.
