I got mine in yesterday afternoon and had em mounted last night by a friend.


Went on a ride this morning/afternoon covering about 140 miles of twisties. These tires are incredible compared to the Rossos and for just over 2/3 of the price. Very tall profile, even though both were 190/55s. This tire has tons of feedback and very precise cornering ability. I am absolutely sold on bridgestone.

See? I've been trying to tell y'all! Oh and that's my "concern" because the tires already had a taller profile than Pirellis of the same size. I got a couple of very experienced guys trading 2CTs in for Bridgestones here next week. We'll see what they think. I was leading a tighter section of the ride last weekend and they were complaining about slippage. One was on a Ducati 1098 and the other was on a 2009 GSXR750. Of course the other point is price. At 2/3 the cost, even if you lose some mileage, you'll still break even AND have a stickier tire to boot!
