Just got me a new Bridgestone BT021 rear tyre on the VFR as the miles down to Surry and back squared off the BT020.
I was going to try another make but thought why should I??
I have had no issues with the Bridgestone tyres, just went for the dual compound tyres because of the motorway miles I am now doing every Monday and Tuesday.
Shame it cost me £130 though......

I use Metzeler Z6's on mine now. I used to use 020's. Same spec as 020's, but these don't square off as easy if at all... ;)

I just bought myself a pair of Metzler Z6 tyres for my bike, £140 delivered for the pair as they are on offer this month :)

I've always used and trusted Avon Storms in the past, so lets hope these are as good of better than the Avons

I was looking at the Z6's but Bike Treads didnt have any in, plus I didnt really want a Bridgestone front and a Metzeler back, I didnt think this would be cricket.

Got this off E-Bay last week.
Great Mileage; But a load of b*ll*x on the cornering.
Found it works better on me Tractor mind! :-/

Got BT21s on mine as well, rate them highly, got nearly 2000 miles on them at the moment and no sign of been squared off yet.
