Re: [ST] TYRE QUESTION

Hey mate,

I was running BS 014 front and rear for 5000miles. Fantastic tires, really 
grippy, but don't last in every day driving. Somebody suggested Metzler Z06 
but found out that Pirelli makes the same tire (parent company) and is a 
newer design. It's the Diabolo Strada. Very good tire, confidence boosting 
even on tight twisties, but wouldn't recommend for track days.

Good luck,

Zoltan
