Default bridgestone tyres BT23.

Just had a pair of bridgestone bt23s put on to replace some continental road-attack. The difference is amazing the bike turns in so well and remains so stable its unreal.Even in the wet can not say enough good things about them. Cost £ 220.00 fitted as well which ant bad.

I too have BT023's to replace the god awful 2ct's I had and BT023's are awesome, way beyond any expectations I had of them, simply amazing.

Are they good in the wet? My tyres are terrible in the wet and I need something good as Scotland is generally wet at all times!

I had the pirelli diablo strada front and rear before getting the bt020's front and rear, i noticed a huge difference in the wet and dry, i got my pirellis to spin up a few times in the wet, hasnt happened with the bridgestones, they havnt let go on me yet.
