Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 If u aint changing front, then its recommended to have the same tyres on both front and rear, so would be Pirelli.. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Depends where the nail is.... if its on the middle band of the tyre it should be fine plugged..... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houdini Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Will ask Jota, hes had his supercorsa plugged with no probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Depends on your intended use ...the BT 021s have according to the tests been slightly overtaken by the Dunlop roadsmarts and the Michellin PilotRoad 2 ...But they're sports-touring tyres ..

Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Its not wise to have two different manu's rubber on your bike mate, cos their compounds wear differently.. to answer your question on the Bridgestones, i ran 014's front and rear on my Blade, the rear was gone within 3000 miles. so i emailed Bridgestone to see what they would recommend to give me better mileage, i now have the 014 on the front with an 021 on the rear, its a cracking combination with great grip in dry or wet...hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super-gsxr-steve Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 thanks and kindly for your input , i have opted for the pirelli diablo rosso , i will let you all no how it works out , at 64 pound sterling ( is that good or what lol ) not on the bike yet she is going to get a colonic first with the wheel being off , steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
