I dropped the hammer on these after laying waste to the BT-016 Pros in 5,XXX miles. Actually the front is 50% but the back is GONE!

Anyway - Chaparral Motorsports - Motorcycle Parts and Motorcycle Gear free shipping over $100 and they promise to beat any price and as best I can tell they do! 3 day shipping too!

On the way are: 120/70 17, 180/55 17 Bridgestone S20 Tire Kit (Part Number:330-B-023) for $212!

These are the replacement for the BT-016 Pro

I also wear the rear 2 to 1 front on the BT-016 Pro. I love these tires as road tires and the only way I can think of going with a different tire is if I wanted a few more mile and then I think I'd do the BT-023

Bridgestone has done some advancements in their compounds on the BT-016 and S-20 that have also increased wet traction.

Ordering these now. Front tire is bald, and I can't wait to get rid of the stock rear tire.

EDIT: I think they may be sold out of the rears. The part number doesn't pull anything up. :/

I just ordered a set of S20s for $222.98 shipped. Still not a bad deal.

^^ They'll order them and it adds a few days. NBD as I don't have a bike to put them on anyway!

I was trying to find the weight of these tires vs the 16 Pros. They seem much lighter and side walls are more pliable. If anyone stumbles upon it. Post up! Thanks!

No weight mentioned here.

Jill slapped me on that one. I just paid 289.99US$. Free shipping though.
That was Jan 05, so maybe the deal was done by then. 'Day late and a dollar short' will be what goes on my tombstone. Either that or "The tractor trailer was tougher then he was."
290 was the best deal I could find then. $70 will buy a lot of Geritol.
