The Bridgestones are miserably slow steering tires anyway. I put some BT56ss
on my 929 and makes it feel almost as bad as a Ducati! I'll go back to 208s
when I change again. I have BT012s on the Triumph and will use them again
since it isn't my usual canyon strafer, but does a decent job. The
Bridgestones will last longer than the Dunlops, and since I commute on the
Triumph, a little longevity is nice.
