RE: [ST] tires and things

["Marc Van Est" <MarcVE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was going to go for 014's, but they didn't have stock and I was impatient.

Most of my riding is charging around the passes around here over the weekends, and my mates are pretty fast in the twisty bits so I wanted a confidence booster.

I'll probably go harder as my confidence steps up.

cheers

Marc,

the BT 057 were OEM tires on the Sprints until they were replaced by BT 020 
s, where as the BT 010 is a sticky agressive sport riding tire with a 
completely different profile and cross section. Unless you are canyon 
carving all day or using it as a track tire, IMHO it is overkill and will 
wear down pretty quickly. An excellent alternative are BT 014, which I'm 
using on my ST. ;-)
