I have the chance to swap my new 2 Dunlop D 207 ( 400 miles ) with 2 Bridgestone Battlax 010 new from factory ( 0 miles ).

Thing is, does the job really worth it ? Will I feel an improvement in my riding with the Bridgestones ?

Thanks for your help

if it doesn't cost you anything do it.

BT 014 are better tho

 

Don't swap the 207's for BT010's. The BT10's are decent tires but won't grip like the 207's. If you can get BT012ss then go for it cause they outperform the Dunlops. Never rode the 14's so no can comment.

 

Sure you'll feel a difference, but advice from someone else would be best b/c I haven't changed my tires yet.

 

bt 010s are the stockers that came with the 02 f4is aren't they?
the grip much better than 207s...if they are the same tires...but i thought they don't make them anymore?

 

Well I see different opinions here, that is a good thing because are more tips to think about.

Chainstretcher , do you think that the old 207 have more grip that the Battlax 010 ?

Tahoe, Dunlop doesn´t make the 207 anymore but I did check mine and the made date is september 2005 !!! Really do not understand.

Thing is here is too hard to find new tires, and my mech has the last pair of Battlax 010 and a friend of mine that owns a Kawa XXR 600 loves the Dunlops, so he could get mines and I buy the last pair of Bridgestones.

That is the possible deal.
Ah! Here Dunlops or Battlax are 500 bucks a pair !!!
Remember all is double rest of the world or more!

if it's the same bt010s that came with my 2002 f4i, they are good tires...207s are more for mileage....not for stick.

 

Thanks for your input Tahoe !

Cheers

 

i like the metzlers but hey everyone has there own option

 

metzlers are bomb but they last as long as last night's dinner!
