Bridgestone Battlax BT 016

These tyres make you think too much which is not always a bad thing. However I will explain why these tyres are not good unless you a riding hard on a hot day or on the track.
The pro's.
High speed stability fantastic good grip levels and feel.
Wet grip is quite adequate for a supersport tyre.
Good dry grip levels when the tyre is warm to hot, the rear tyre is especially grippy.
The Con's.
poor wear rates compared to competitors tyres, front tyre gets chewed up easy and the rear will wear down in the centre too quickly. However it is possible to get over 2,000 miles of hardish riding on these which isnt terrible.
The grip is only in a narrow temperature range, too cold they have very poor grip especially the front is extremly slippy when not very warm at lest. Too hot and again they become slippy again. This is why I would not recommend these tyres. Say you got the tryes warm on a warmish day then you got stuck in traffic or slowed through a village or something or was on the motorway for a while. In this time the tyres are too cool again and the grip is not there. I find the grip is never there when you need it only when you start riding hard for longperiods does the tyre become good and then if it gets too hot...annoying. Will be getting Dunlop sportmax D209's next time.

Excellent Tyres for racing as well as touring and allows you to push the bike to its limits.

I think i will get 1700miles great tyres,shame rear will still have 3/400 left on it but front shot,still loads better than BSB's only got 1000 and front was gone at 800 very poor when cold,great if smooth road and hot

I Live near Chicago and see all the different weather issues mother nature loves to throw at us. I love to ride for miles for no reason but in the same light, I adore a good track. I need something that has good mileage with the ability to get nasty for a few days at a time.

With this odd marriage of Mileage and track readiness there is a compromise, it comes 'warm up time'. During the early season especially one must take caution to ride a good 5 miles before leaning and really getting on the throttle hard. If you keep patient then the tyre will def. reward you. Don't take the warm up time lightly.

Ive ridden on these for 14 months now, with 9000 miles on them (I never did a burnout or get crazy squirrelly on em). and 3 days of track days in the fall (so it wasn't crazy hot). Its more than I could ever expect to see from a tyre with such a diverse ability.

They are quite cheap compared to many others out there as well. And it doesn't hurt to hear that Bridgestone is the only tyre used in MotoGP to date. They have to be doing something right to make the GP riders say Michelin tyres were a disadvantage vs. the Bridgestones....

If your an occasional canyon or track rider that loves long rides and watches their money, than this is the only tyre you should look for. Just be patient before you rock the throttle...

Recomendo estes pneus para quem tiver uma condução normal, quem quiser dar um uso desportivo este pneu nao segura como devia segurar.
