So my Dunlops are getting down to the end of their tread and the gears are starting to turn on what new tire I will go with. This will be the first tire change with the FZ, but I used to run Bridgestone on my old Ninja and loved them.
Was on the Bridgestone site today and see that they have some new sport touring tires that look awesome. Read a few posts here as well, and it sounds like the BT-016 pro is a nice tire, as well as the BT-023, and there is also a lot of hype surrounding the new S20 tire as well.
I am a daily commuter and put 70 highway miles on the bike every day going to and from work. I ride fairly hard and like to go for spirited rides in the twisties on weekends as well, but the majority of my time is spent on the highway. To these ends, I would like a tire that can perform well, but will have longevity.
So, would someone like me be better suited with a slightly more aggressive tire like the BT-16 pro or potentially the new S20, or would a BT-023 be better suited to my needs. Any and all input is welcome!
