Take them out on a bit of a run and get them warm then see how different they feel

Yeah I know that's the problem, but I don't have the time to get out for a proper blast at the moment.
![]() Joe has used them for some decent riding and says they're fine, but we both agree they have very little feel, and don't hold heat well either. |

TBH I never found the 020's to be bad like that or the Z6's I have on my bike at the moment

on my 2nd set of 020,s. no problems whatsoever in any conditions. however, i have a question; when i,m on it i,m a fairly fast rider and have been happy with the 020,s and av45/46 (in dry) and never felt that a stickier tyre would make any difference especially considering the power output of the sv. any opinions from those who have swapped to stickier tyres and noticed a difference would be interesting

The Roadtecs are fantastic for cold and wet conditions... They're better when not warmed up than most tyres, because of the high silica content, and warm up faster. Not as good as Randy's tractor tyres though- he knows things about bad weather riding that I hope to never have to learn
![]() I commuted through my first winter on Sportecs and they were a complete pain... Skitey as anything until they were warmed up, which just didn't happen at all on some really cold or wet days. And white lines, forget about it. Better in the dry of course, more grip than I ever managed to use.

Oh aye, I meant to add... I've been running around with some sort of Avon Azaro- 45/46 I think? Which honestly, I hate in the wet with a passion. But in teh snow, these things are like voodoo, really good.

Switche from the stock Dunlops a few years ago. Looking back, they inspired no confidence at all - even at slow speeds, it doesn't take many leaves on a wet country lane to upset its balance.
Riding all year, I'm n my fourth set of Bridgestones BT020s - I've never changed 'cos I'm happy with them, especially in the wet. The times I've fishtailed from uneven brake pressure, the tyres turn to grip just that much faster. Definitely prefer the Bridgestones BT020's. |
