Re: 160 Rear Tyre??
excellent road tyre mate, grip is very good...as i dont go for track so can't comment about it warm up time..Wozza wrote:Zul, how do you like the BT-016, nice and grippy? Take long to warm up?
Why did you go for the 160 over the 150?
i like the multi-layer compound concept, which proven to be stable and durable...balance for cornering and touring..

i do feel 160 on rear tyre have better stability than 150 but with slightly more weight.

Question :
doesn't the shape of the 160 tire change when fitted on the rim which was meant for a 150 tire ?
I use the Bridgestone BT003 RS 150/60-17 and it's performance is great ...
