[gazkwak]

alright mate i put these on mine this year and i love them don't know what the wears like yet but dosen't look to be wearing to bad, the grips brilliant and took 20 mm of my chicken strip in the first week

[andyzzr1100]

thanks gaz mine will need doing soon and arlington motorcycles are doing them for about £89.99 ish dependin what size

[Blimey]

Was going to give them ago next time round.

My front 2ct just keeps wearing weired and i have to keep havin them balanced. The pitch ends up really pointed and there are some weired wear bumps going on.

But they grip fabulous Love them.

If you do go for the 016 keep us posted on the feeling and wear please

ok will do, i know lee at arlington so will be getting them done there, hes just got all new equipment at his new place in paignton, and he owes me a custom paint job so got to stay sweet with him

I haven't tried them but if they're anything like the 014 they're awesome. My tyre of choice.

Got the 021, great in the wet & they've kept their shape well after 1500 odd miles. Although I almost lost the front on a roundabout, but I think it was from cold tyres & riding over some repair bonding.

See now thats exactly what happened to me on Monday but the front did let go and my tyres weren't cold at all, V interested in the BT16 though

Some say run a 16 on the front and a 21 on the rear for road use. Cause the 21 lasts a bit better but still provides good grip. And on the front you can get away with running the 16 as it won't wear as fast. But if your going on track days with your road bike i'd run a pair of 16's.

From what i have read on other Forums they are not like the 014 they are far far better. I will be going for the Maxxis Supermaxx Sport next as they come highly recommended and they are £145 a pair. Far superior grip to the 014 and good wear rate as well.

Out of interest that price you were quoted was really cheap for the 016 as i was looking at £245 fitted with a bit of discount

i do love the 021 and I use it all the time for it's longevity and ability in the wet. But I've never had confidence in the front on them, always feels as though it wants to get away from you. The 014 is my tyre of choice so as I said i can't wait to have a try on the 016.

[andyzzr1100]

well i`ll pop in tomorrow and get the price for mine and let you know, they come cheaper by the pair and he fits and balances them there, ive got a michelin on the rear and a avon on the front from when i got the bike which have done me for 2500 miles and still mot able but starting to feel a bit wierd now,

[Funky]

Where do you go for your tyres? I tend to go to CMS in preston always cheapest for me.

[andyzzr1100]

i take it u mean ams funky, no i go to arlington motorcycles lee says he can get front and rear bt016 £215 fitted and balanced, he does the mots and services and any paint sprayin for mine and fatjackets bikes, theres no decent bike machanics at ams since kev left, i dont think they have an MOTer there any more, i know most of the lads there as they come into our sandwich bar BIGBAPS just round the corner,

I got bt021 front/rear fitted by JT tyres in poole - fitted for £200.
