has any one bin useing bt014 my stock tyres are done and need some new hoops

I'm running Dunlop 208Z's and I love them!

<-- BT014's


They're awesome. Get a 180 rear

Got them last week and scrubbed them in. They now have about 250kms on them and the rear is scrubbed to the edges on both sides, the front, not quite there yet.

Awesome tires so far. Never slipped during scrub in and haven't slipped in the rain that we have been getting.

Definately seems to make the bike more fiestier, turns sharper, but that is what happen when you go back to a round tire vs. squared off.

Time will tell how long they last, but I don't think that you can go wrong with them.

I just ordered a set. Will put them on during the week. They look nice!

The guy at the store said they're good for touring-sport because the middle is harder than the edges.

Have you tried a 190 BT014 rear?
I picked up BT14 today (190) and it's not as wide as the 190 BT12 that was on it.

The 180 BT14 looks really slim

They all look slim when they're not mounted.

Okay let me correct myself. After the 190 BT014 is mounted it's 1/4" narrower than the stock BT12

I have a 190 and I could care less how it looks. As long as it sticks to the road.

I am sure I could get my knee down with them, just need the right desolate corner to do so.

thanks all you guyz i ordered new hoops today will let you all no how we get on together

Hi Matt,

Buddy from the store is wrong, The Bt-014 is more race oriented than sport touring. The BT-020 is the dual compond sport touring tire.

I got 2200kms on my BT14's and 6000kms on my BT-020.

I am now trying a michelin pilot power, The Michelin is nice and sticky (600kms) I'll see how long that lasts.

If your not a very agrresive person I would get a BT-020

Take care

Mike

mifun3,

Make sure you post a review of those Pilots. There are a number of guys around my area using them that love them. They are saying that they get great grip and much more milage than they do on the BT's or Perelli's. I'm sonsidering aswitch to either those, or the Strada's, but I haven't heard much feedback on the strada's.
