Anyone tried and can tell me the difference?
Roads are very slippery in my country. Tyres last LONG, but they skid easily, so I'm looking for a sporty tyre for the FZS600. 16 pro seem perfect, but don't come in 110/70 dimension.
Any other recommendation? Metzeler M5 Sportec Interact seem nice, though pricey.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
Also on the Bridgestone site they claim the S20 to be an improvement on the BT016 Pro, so might be worth a look.
Slippery as a slick pavement. Not wet. It is hot, sunny.
Z6 tyres are too hard for the surface here and can last about 30 k kilometres. Bt016 PRO seem perfect, but I found only 120/70 dimension. So will see about the newer models, the BT020.

The BT020 is old - replaced by the BT021 then the BT023 and now the T30.
The S20 is available in 110/70 so should fit the Fazer, this might be the way to go for hot weather / surfaces (something my bike doesn't see enough of!). On Bridgestone's site they claim this better in all conditions than the BT016 Pro.
Spring is coming. I found these two tyre sets:
210 euros for Bridgestone BT016 Pros,
240 euros for Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact.
Which should I choose? M5s worth the little extra?

Funny you should mention T 30 Bridgestones, I've got one on the front and after 4000 miles it's starting to square off
My last BT 023 F went on for 16,000 miles and no problems
Bar the squaring off, how has the T30 been? Considering this to replace my BT023 in the next week or so (BT023 has gone bad :\)
Faultless in the grip dept, really good in the wet or dry and good steering
