Re: [ST] Bridgestones

hmmmm.......
I ran an 020 this past weekend for the first time in some pretty twisty
stuff (North Georgia/Western Carolina) having replaced a BT57 on the front
(rear already had an 020) Noticed no tendency to want to stand up under
braking. Running 36f/40r pressure.
Did seem to have a quicker turn-in/response than the BT57 - kept having to
adjust line w/rear brake initially 'til I got used to characteristic.
