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. ;-)
