Bridgestone BT014 rear (160/60 17") done about 15 miles for sale

[Paul the 6th]

Following this thread: New rear tyre but same old one on front - any potential handling issues? (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=121669) I'm selling a (pretty much) brand new bridgestone bt014 rear tyre = 160/60 17". I rode from the bike shop to home (about 2 miles) then a nice gentle ride down the b1222 and back (about 15 miles roundtrip) to bed it in. I'm going to have the bt014 removed this saturday when i get my new avon storms fitted, so it will be available from then on. It was £122 brand new (yes I think I may have been done a little bit) and now I need to get rid of it so offers around £90-£100 wouldn't be unreasonable for a brand new tyre...

Any info, give me a shout :)

If you have the cash to spare, why not keep the Sticky one and then have it put on in the summer along with a matching front.

My Zed came with some nicely sticky tyres that only lasted 3k miles, but were good on the trackday I did and the AR

Funnily I replaced them with Storms, which have now done the same amount of miled but are still going.

Other option is to take them back to where you got them and demand a refund based on the you going home and doing some research and you now believe you were mis-sold the tyre you got, what with it being unsuitable for the kind of riding you do in winter.
