[ST] tires

["Bare" <barenekd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My questions are:

1) I read the BT57 is no longer manufactured and has been replaced by the
BT010. True? Should I go with the 010 on the rear? (There is also a BT 020
with more emphasis on the "touring" aspect--any feedback on it? I wouldn't
mind the added
mileage if handing not too compromised).

2) When it's time to replace both front and rear tires together, what is the
consensus? Stay with Battlax or perhaps Avons or Dunlap.

Again, sorry to raise a hackneyed subject...but, thanks for any help.

Bridgestone says the BT010s replaced the BT57s, but for my money the 020s
are superior to the BT57s and the 010s are the equivilents to the old BT56s.
I ride my RS like it's a sport bike with 020s and they have performed quite
well, but my next set of tires will be the more perfromance oriented
BT012SS. You don't mention what kind of riding you do, but if you aren't
into canyon strafing, the 020s will be great for you. If you wnat higher
performance tires, go for the 010s or 012s.
