About a year and a half ago I got a set of bridgestone bt023 tires. They were a huge improvement over the stock Dunlop's which only gave me about 9000 miles. 15000 miles later, it was finally time for a change. The rear wore out much quicker than the front. Overall I am satisfied with these tires.
The bt023 was used for commuting, long days of highway riding, rain, cold, and some aggressive twisty riding. It never got away from me and I always felt confident in the tires. Add mentioned, I got ~15000 miles out of them. I am not a supper aggressive rider, but like to have fun.
Now I have the new pr4's from Michelin. Initial impressions: they don't turn in as quickly as the bt023's did when initiating a turn, but they do seem to hold a line better. They are a very smooth ride. I am excited to see how they are in the rain with their fancy siping! I'm hoping they will provide me more miles than the bt023 as Michelin claims 20% loner tread life than the pilot road 3 (which is comparable to the bt023)
I'll report back at the end of these tires life!
