Question for Tyreman

[bazzer sps]

Hi Tyreman or anyone else for that matter,
What is the main difference between the Bridgestone 010 & 012 (not the 12ss)? I have read the specs and apart from tred pattern they appear very similar but are they?
I'm not looking for a super sticky compound but one that will last well for my forth coming Italian trip.
Comments appreciated as always

Not a very technical answer but i've used both on an st4s.

010 last 4000 miles and gives good grip
012 (not the ss) lasted 2500 miles and i wouldn't say it performed noticeably better.

End result i've just fitted another pair of 010's Good enough for slow to average gits like me on the odd track day, good in the wet and certainly good enough for fast road riding IMHO.:)

[tyreman]

dead right bdg
also 010 dual compound harder through centre softer on edges

cheers

Sounds like an inside out armadillo! :o

so how long should the 020's last

1 Trackday Glyn.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

020's will last a long time, used them on various despatch bikes. Bloody good tyre for something that last's so long, but definate emphasis on mileage rather than outright grip IMHO.

Don't last as long as Avon Speedmasters though!:lol:

Oops, sorry tyreman for sticking my nose in, hope u don't mind.

Cheers M8, save be a pair for the end of the trackday, as I think the current ones will be shagged:lol:

Thanks every one for your input - 010's it is then.:D

Had an 010 front/020 rear on at our trackday at Mallory last year :P
Ended up getting about 3k out of the front and 5k out of that rear, including the track day!

Apart from an inch or so in the middle, yours should last forever! :devil:

I stand corrected.

but do think they are designed more for mileage, glad you found them good on the track.
