Well it's finally about time for new tires on the FZ. I have been shopping around and reading reviews etc. I have been very pleased with my factory BT020 even if they have been nail magnets....lol....but they have stepped out on me a little up in the mountains when really pushing it. So I am going to stick with the Stones but I want a softer edge compound and just can't decide if I want the 021 or the 016. Most all of my recreational ride time is spent in the twisties since I'm only 30 min from the mountains. I really like the look of the Sport Touring 021 and I am sure since it is a dual compound it will stick much better in the corners. Then there is the 016 which I am not to sure about since it is a "SuperSport" tire but it is dual compound front triple rear. I have had no issues as of yet with the flatter profile of the Sport touring tires and still manage to run circles around my buddies on their RR bikes with SS tires. Anyone have experiance with both or the 016 from a standard ST tire and care to elaborate?
