    I have bridgestone BT010's on at the mo and I'm struggling to remove a flatspot on the rear tyre (put there by previous owner!). These have been superceded by BT014's now which are apparently very good, but does anyone else have any recommendations? need a tyre for normal road use, needs to be good in the wet with a strong compound to avoid flat spots (I'll be doing a fair bit of motorway riding soon)

    I think there was a recent tyre debate on here mate.... people were pro and against the BT014's, but have a quick look at that thread and you should get some ideas.

    If you like the feel of the 010's then the 014 is the same with more grip and a more progressive feel, if on the other hand you dont like them might be a good time to change to another make...
    As such with todays technology there are no bad tyres out there, but they all feel different and some you will like, some you wont.
    So its really upto you....
    If its any help you wont go far wrong with the 014's IMO!

    You want good mileage with good grip and wet grip try the BT020, probably the best road tyre out there imo!
