Xan173

Rider Profile 14.5 stone. 5'11". Fast smooth rider, prefering twisty B roads.

Wear Rate Rear lasted 2700 miles, front is still very much OK. 2 rears to 1 front could be expected.

Performance I had an off after fitting these, on a dry roundabout at 25mph, on maintenance throttle. Rear simply let go. No explanation other than new tyres. They always seemed a little slow to warm. Once scrubbed in they were OK, but in terms of feel not as good as the stock Bridgestones. Need to run them with a few PSi less. On the BT-015's I used to touch down the hero blobs before feeling a twitch from the tyres. I've never touched them down since the Pilot Sports went on.

Overall 5 out of 10. Won't buy these again.
