BT-016 is a better tire at the same deal price
BT-016 are better man .. see this too Bridgestone BT016 - Sportbikes.net and my thread at SBN .. BT-016 $189 a pair Oct 25th - Sportbikes.net
Picked the tires up today and had them mounted. Yeah the sale isn't until Saturday but I'm doing a track day, FINALLY, on Sunday and I need to scrub them in so Cycle Gear was totally cool and hooked me up today.
So to answer a few questions: 1) they are old, so freaking old. The date stamp was 1008. 22 days or less, damn. Military discount, nope, but they were mounted for $20 each, instead of $24.95. 3) there are little tridents on the very edge of the tire, too cool.
So, GO BUY THEM if you need new tires!
Tomorrow is about 75 miles of scrubbing and track day on Sunday, stay tuned for pics! :thumbup:
As far as tires being old give me a break people. These are not 10 year old tires. Think about it, people here are buying new 06 and 07 FZ6s. Those tires are not \\"new\\". My 07 had a build date of Oct '06 and my tires were probably made in Sept or Aug of '06. Here we are at least two years later and guess what? The tires are fine. IF these tires at Cycle Gear are two years old they are fine, they are probably 6 months old, at the oldest. Both Cycle Gear and Pirelli are large companies who would not risk selling, in mass, dry rotted tires.
My suggestion is call Cycle Gear if you have any questions.
Here to report that the Diablos worked great on the track! Not probelms at all, stuck like glue, very predictable. :thumbup:
