Bridgestone BT015

Bit of a long shot as I think these are oem only for honda, but as they're fitted to the cbr600rr I'm on at the moment, does anybody have any experience of them? I'm pretty sure they're not good, but it could be me, it could be the bike! Rear has lots of life in it but the front is well squared off so this may be not helping. Just thought I'd see if anyone had anything good to say about them before I junk the pair and fit something else. I'm hoping a pair of pilotpower 2ct will give me an improvement.
Anyone had the 015's?

The 014s have been superceeded with the 016s , dont know about the 015s. Loved my 014s though, really sticky but short life span so replaced rear with 021.

These work really well on the double R. I liked them a lot.

The new tyres make a fantastic difference. Not a cheap option but get rid of those oem tyres!:smt067

Yes, they're a really nice tyre seem to work in all conditions and last well. Very grippy when you get the chance to use them too and a nice profile for flicking about. Not cheap mind..

Hmmm, good to know! Thought it was just me being overly concious because I was on a new bike!

Will maybe need to think about different tyres..

Wouldnt bother just yet, get used to the bike first, few miles on the current tyres, yours might not even have the Bridgestone BT015's and may have the Dunlops instead, get the suspension set up next, then think about new tyres
