Tyre query on an FZ1
#1
I bought this one last year on 15k miles and it's now done just over 22k. When I bought it, it had Bridgestone BT16's - skittish in the wet and cold but awesome in the dry. I changed the tyres in March at 18k to PR4's as the 16's were nearly shot and noticed that - although I hate the words "chicken strip" - that they're no where near the edge unlike the BT 16's. Nor how they were on my last bike, a Sprint 1050.


Just wondered if anyone else has found the hype to them unfounded. I'm thinking of ditching them for Bridgestone. Is it the S or T 20's? These just feel a bit too pointy for my liking. I'm not a knee down person but nor do I ride it upright all the time and i like my twisty roads as opposed to cr4p motorways.


Edited to add the edges show about 1.5/2cm.

I have pr4

With R6 shock now on edge of tyre before shock about 8mm off edge, but a lot of that is down to rider (me) not having confidence in the rear with old shock
