How are u all finding the new bridgestones compaired to the 014,s

i been waiting for this thread to kick off, but i only got 30miles on mine in the wet...

i heard these babies warm up fast and stick like glue.. even in the rain using wet mode, i been able to do some turns just as fast as i do in the aprilia on best sunny day, think it has somthing to do with the lean angel on the bike.. so far so good, first sunny day after first service look out

So far they feel real good in the corners.

So far they feel real good in the corners.

i just need good weather so i can ride, and my sliders wont arrive till next week so im taking it pretty easy right now, with wet roads and new tires

i road in wet mode for my whole ride, and i felt i was doing some of the harder corners, at the same speed as my rs125 without feeling much speed or effort, and this was in the rain and normally it is a hardcore speed in the sun for my other bike

I have to agree that they feel great so far. I don't really push to awful hard on the street, but I don't have any rear chicken strips. They have felt planted so far. I went to some website that gave a technical breakdown of the 016's and they look pretty sweet on paper as well.

Foskamink i was waiting for this tread to start as well they say great mind think alike ?:cheers

Im by no means a pro rider, or can compare to anything else really since my last bike was from the 80's and the type of tire matched that. I will say though, having just hit 200 miles, now starting to lean a little more on the bike having gotten all the chemicals off the full face of the tire, they do hold really well, im not pushing the hammer down, but they seem to sit really well. Maybe thats just a squid talking but it sure does feel good.

i didnt get on with the 014,s on the front of my k7 600 ,on tighter bumpy turns never felt right ,back was ok though . i changed them for michelin 2ct,s they were fantastic ! not had enough miles on the 016,s yet but 1st impresions good

well i only got like 30 miles on my bike from rain, today was nice and sunny but no ride, if tomorrow is sunny, ima going to rack up the miles like nothing
