Default Tyres in Southampton

I've just change my Z6's at 7k (but with probably a further 1000 remaining on the rear) for BT021 for ?160 on the bike at Cox's Motorcyles in Eastleigh near Southampton.

Unit 7 Shakespeare Business Centre
Hathaway Cl
Eastliegh
02380618823

Tyre prices seem to have dropped as I was quoted ?183 for BT020s this time last year.

You have to let us know how the BT021's feel, and what was your reason for chosing them?

Chose them because

1. a friend is pleased with his although they're on a a different bike.
2. they were to-hand and at a good price.
3. gettting good press reviews

Will let you know how I get on with them once the shine has worn off.

The Z6 front was worn flat on the shoulders down to 2mm and was feeling a bit vague when pushed in corners when I changed.
