I've heard this from a few now and was trying to decide on Avon 45/46 or Pilot
Roads...guess we have a winner.

FWIW I ran several sets of BT-020s on my '99 ST and on The Boss's viffer, and
was concerned about the '03 coming with '57s.  They felt a little harder and
the rear locked and slid a little easier it seemed.  But after a few harder
rides (harder for me anyway, your style *will* vary) I had no trouble with the
'57s yet.  Whoever said the 57 front may be better than the 020 may be right.

Anyway I think it's time to say hello to Michelins, that is, after I figure
out what in the hell to shod the TBS with.
