Tyres Help bt-016/ s21/ PP 2CT metzeler m7 rr - fazersharp - 04-04-18

Any views on any of these tyres I need front and back

bridgestone bt 016
bridgestone bt s21
Michelin Pilot Power 2CT

I am not looking for a massively long lasting tyre. I only ride dry so wet grip is no factor.
I understand that the 2CT was not available in 110 but it seems to be now

Hi Mr Sharp, the 21's are a big improvement on the 16's but I can't help you with the other choice as I've never tried the 2CTs

This is a good article on the bridgestones-

Yep, definitely had more confidence in the rear when braking hard with their hypersport tyres over the battlax. Both are good tyres though imo.

I am a bit of an odd one in that I am looking for a tyre that wears down quick because my tyres get old before they get worn and so I end up keep them too long.
I have an 023 on the front and an 021 on the back at the moment and I do under 1000 miles a year.

You obviously spend much to much time maintaining the grounds at Sharp Manor.
Don't be so tight, just get another gardener to join the team, you will find 10 men work better than 9 anyway. :rolleyes

I have them on the 1000, takes a little longer than the PR3/4 to warm up, but when they do :woot

Looks like I am not going to get these properly scrubbed in until end of next week when it stops raining

Interesting to hear you say that because part of the advertising that had me convinced is that they warm up quickly and good for cold days as well as hot. To do with the 20% harder centre section underlining the softer 40% edge and passing the heat from the centre to the sides. (Told you I was convinced )

Re: Tyres Help bt-016/ s21/ PP 2CT metzeler m7 rr - unfazed - 07-04-18

Fazersharp, they do warm up quickly but not like the Pr3/4 which appear to be up to temp in half a mile, I would not push the M7 until at least a mile. I have never lost traction with them, but their optium definitely takes a little longer.

Ok thanks 1/2 mile is fast. 1 mile is still good coming from a BT 023.

Re: Tyres Help bt-016/ s21/ PP 2CT metzeler m7 rr - unfazed - 07-04-18

Fazersharp, just to add, thats on a fairly abrasive tar and chip road from my house with a few nice left and right corners, not a nice smooth road in an estate or the like. By the time I get the 2 and a bit miles to the main road they are good and hot and ready for anything Smile

Oh some advice especially for you, they are fuck all use on ice or on hydraulic oil from tractors :lol
