Bridgestone BT-003R/S

Crap!

The BT-002s were brilliant so had high expectations for the replacement 003s. 800 miles and they are cooked on the edges and sliding every where (spirited street riding, no track time on them).

The initial impression was not much better. The 003s are more triangulated than the 002s which this bike definitely does not need (turns quick enough). Was running pressures at 30F 31R.

Shouldn't be surprised as Bridgestone has a history of mucking up a good product (010s were brilliant and the 012s were crap).

Just received a set of Dunlops new Q2s. Everyone has been raving about these tyres so I thought I'd give them a go on the SD. Unfortunately out of town for a month so won't get a chance to report for a while.

Will let you know when I can.

Is your air pressure to low for street maybe..?
No.
