given they are bridgstone, they are bound to have just as ****e profile and feel just as wooden and inspire 0% confidence.

personaly i have had to many bad experiances on bridgestones in the past to count them out of any tyre choice as long as there is breath in my body.

Personally won't be buying 23s again. But that's probably just me.

Very happy with my 023 on the front, with a slightly worn 020 on the back, '99 N.

I had 021's on my 600rr. Due to them I would not buy bridgstone again.

They felt terrible and gave no feedback or confidence. Don't get me wrong I abused the hell out of them and they never didn't have enough grip, they just felt crap.

I scrapped 5k out of them and dead by that point, the front felt terrible for the last 1k as the hard compound was raised 5mm in the centre due to the edges wearing alot quicker.

They are also expensive and there's better Tyres for the money, pilot road 2's for example or various other people recommend for the sv.
