NC23 Bridgestone BT-016 Pro

Post by xchristischenx »

Hey guys :peace:
I have new tires on my Nc23. I bought bridgestone bt-016 pro´s.
Does any one here also have the bt-016 pro on the nc23?
I want to know whats the best tire pressure for this tire? Because bridgstone say the bt-16 pro needs 2,5bar at the front and 2,9 at the rear :shock: . At the tire i had before (bt-14) the pressure was the honda stock (2,25bar front and 2,25bar rear) and it was perfect.

I use the BT090's stick to the road no matter what I've thrown at them. Not too sure on the conversion units, but I put 36PSI front and 38PSI rear. When I took her to brands hatch for a track day set the rear at 40PSI and she handled brilliantly throughout the track. Not sure if the extra 2 PSI made a difference but was told it would at higher speeds.

Hope that helps! Greetings from England.
