Tires

****; I wish I'd said THAT too!

Yeh I put BT020 on the rear of the ZX9 and what a disappointment! The
shagged Pirrelli I pulled off felt better Then out on the track the
rear went off after about 3 laps (1st one behind the marshall) and after
that proceeded to slip and slide all over the shop - basically threw itself
to bits. Obviously the BT020 is skewed to the touring end of a
sports/tourer tyre. Bummer.

Prior to my little excursion into Bridgestone land I had Pirrelli Pilot
Sports (which have a different name now) but they were superb in both wet &
dry and held their own on the track. Plus their profile was a little
steeper meaninig the '9 dropped into a turn very smartly and
positively....the BT020 is a big flat possum squasher by comparison - you
can make yourself a capuccino (and drink it) waiting for the bastard to
turn in now

Anyone want a second hand BT020 to suit a ZX9? (190/55 17ZR IIRC) I've got
one going cheap - only done 3000km and one track day and had one puncture!
Meh.

Try to work "n","g",and "o" into it somewhere (I've heard that's *almost*
funny...)

One thing I did notice, though. The BT020's aren't anywhere near as slippery
when brand new. The Pirellis were SOOOOOOOOOOO slippery until I wore them
in.

 

Mumble fuckin' mumble it woulda' been funny if someone had've gotten it
mumble mumble....

just gearing up for our induction as 51st state...are you down with that
bro?
