Bridgestone Battlax BT-016's


anyone using these?
feedback?
street?
track?


discuss plz

 

You not diggin the PP's anymore?
You remember my BT-015? I liked them. Whats new with the 16's?

 

just looking for something different on the street.....considering the next season i will have a track dedicated bike and a street dedicated bike. so i dont have to worry about running dot's on the street i want to try out some different tires


the 016's are supposed to have three compounds...one hard in the center, medium just outside the center and then one super soft on the edges
i would imagine that these would get real greasy on the track, but with our weather here not really seeing anything over 80degree days, i think running a super soft compound could be beneficial for the street....
just looking for some real input on these tires
i have heard some mixed reveiws from other places

 

So they went a step farther than the 2CT's. Sounds interesting.

 

Go for it I put a set on at the end of this summer and have liked them so far. Went from the PP's and the first things I noticed was that they have a more aggressive profile diving into a lean with ease and holding a corner with less effort. The only con I can think of is that they take a while to warm up so take it easy when starting off. Anyways hope that helps.
