Default BT 021's aint that bad!

Had z6's before - loved them but thought they were not exactly lasting enough.

Noticed a bit of a difference at first but dry / wet are pretty fine so far and should see a bit more mileage out of them than the 6's

be interesting to see, had 14,000 out of a rear Z6, what are you expecting out of these then ?

not one of my fav brands I must admit, to uncommunicative for me, got 020's on the T'bird (wish they were something else ), but there fairly new so will have to use them up first.

Cheers Mark.

I got BT021's fitted this weekend, the place I got them from had no Road Pilot 2's in at the time.

At first I was a little unsure as I was not getting as much feel from them, however I am still scrubbing them in, today I was gettig much more feedback on the road, so once they get fully scrubbed in they shouldbe ok.

I need to do more miles before I can give my thoughts on them over time, but so far there turning out ok.

Cheers

Rich

Well i did a 40 mile stint in the wet with them and much better than the z6's due to more tread being in the middle of the tyre instead of a blank area like the 6's. - round the bends aren't too hot just now but that part of the tyre has not had enough scrubbing in and i think the wheels are mis-aligned anyway.

Thumbs up Re: BT 021's aint that bad!

I have the 021's on my Sprint and so far (about 1000 miles) I'm very happy with them, they inspire more confidence than the 020 and I wasn't unhappy with them. I don't suppose I will achieve a large mileage out of them with the bike being somewhat heavier than the old SV (yellow and curvy!)
