BT003 is where its at...

Look, read the rest of the posts and you'll get your answer. There was a discussion on which tires were dual compound and the BT-001s were the first Bridgestone street tires to use dual compound. Oh and the BT-001s were also street tires and OEM on a couple bikes. Bridgestone typically releases their "dot" race tires in street versions with a RS designation. Get your facts straight before you question me buddy!

Damn! I was so going to buy the BT-021s but was afraid of losing the traction I am used to... Oh well, my gf bought me the tire set-up so now I hardly care about mileage! I'm saving $50-100 per tire change!

If you're an AMA member, check out the prices at bikebandit.com , go thru checkout and put in your AMA membership number. When I checked, it knocked the price down about 10% on Bridgestone BT-021's

My bad I didn't read the upper stuff. lol

I thought BT001s were only in race compounds.

I bet over 2/3 of the actual riders around here use 016s. I'm about to go to them after I wear out my Rossos. I have got about 7 thousand miles on em now. Great grip, great wear. 300 bucks for a set, though. I'll see what mileage I get out of the 016s and compare miles/dollar and performance.
