BT010's any body recco a grippier tyre ?

Post by adamski »

Only problem is, it MUST last 1000(ish) miles.

No problem with the 010's at the moment, just wondering if Firestorms woked better on anything else?
Yeeeehaa!

I had super corsas on for a while and f*&k me were they grippy. You could really take the piss and you knew they were gonna grip. :wink2

I will definitely be moving back to used race tyres after these BT56's have worn out.

Also heard many good reports on 207RR's too m8.

012 going on the front soon!

Went into an island, tipped it over and whoosh, the front folded!!!

It caught again, which was PURE luck, and I stayed on, but sticky tyre time is upon us!!

Blimey! :eek2:

Let us know when it's coming on, I will keep an eye out for ya.

The firebolt looks the baldrocks, always had a soft spot for Buell's but I have my doubts as to how they'd stand up to UK weather.

Firebolt IS a really good bike, so good I am tempted to buy one!

Lots of fum, with awsome handling and a low topspeed. Wheelie? OOOHHHYESS! How high and how long do u want?

:biggrin

try a set of evo corsas or a set of dunlop 207RR,i have ran both at some time or other & they both heat up quite quick, stick to the road like sh*t to a blanket (when roads are wet or dry), they are very stable & both offer great feedback on what grip is there, both inspire supreme confidence when cranking the bike over.
down side is they dont last very long ,
lucky if you get 2000, 3000 miles out of them
but remember grip is everything.
