Not a big fan of bridgestones, mostly because back in the late 80's 
my CBR which had descent 'stones on it from the factory needed new sneakers.
I tried to get another set of OEM 'stones only to be told that they 
were replaced with a newer tire.
I mounted the newer tires and rode on them for about 1000 miles, then 
bought a set of michelins, because they gave zero feedback. Numb 
doesn't describe the lack of feel well enough. I never slid, fell or 
even had a traction moment with the 'stones, but they told me nothing 
about what the contact patch was doing.
The Michelins were great but at twice the cost of avons with half the 
tread life, I can't afford to keep levering them on.
