I can recall when I first went to Ron Haslams Race School at Donington Park, more than 10 tears ago now. BT033's were on all the bikes including the Blades,,bog standard road tyres. And very good too. I had them on my old YX600 and the Fazer.
I'm a liitle sceptical on this subject of better tyres, believing some of it is little more than smoke and mirrors, and the need to be seen to be developing better goods for us all to buy, like built in obsolescence with other commodities. We all (think) we buy better tyres when our previous choices are no longer avialable.
Thatb sais, of course there have been improvements over time, I accept that, but when you switch from riding on a 5 year old rubber to new, an improvement is surely likely to be felt no matter what the (reputable) make
