Hi Silence of the Lambs Smile
I have changed both FR/RR tire to new BRIDGSTONE BATTLAX 023. I have ran with BT-021 before but passed only 8,000km ! This tire is very first experience like such a short distance run.
My friends introduced new BT-023 has endurance and anti-wetty road condition.
http://mc.bridgestone.co.jp/jp/products/battlax/bt023/index.html

Then I changed to BT-023 and ran for 2 months 1800km. I like it !!
I should not have any anxiety even run rainy wet road and very standing Firm run on tight corner. Also BRIDGSTONE said BT-023 improved endurance and life of tire more than BT-021. I think price is very fare and cheaper than Pilot road 2.

I can't wait to know how long I can use this Cool

Make no mistake, you can't go wrong with the PR2.

Glad to see the BT-023 is a good tire as well.

It certainly feels better than the Cheng Shin or whatever it was the PO had put on!

I really should have changed it months ago.
