Rear BT-015 sticks like a fly on tarpaper but wore out in 2000 miles. I thought I'd give the BT-016 a try if I can find the right price. Anyone?

Hey Kruz
A about a month ago I purchased a set front and rear from CycleSector.com
http://www.cyclesector.com/BRIDGESTONE_BT_016_SET_p/bstone-bt016-set.htm
$229.95 front and rear and they gave me free shipping when I ordered and no tax cause I am out of the state California.
If you only need a rear you can can get it from them for $129
Within a week the tires were delivered.
I just but the rear on yesterday and I rode home suave but it seemed that even though the tire was new and your suppose to take it slow till you break it in a little ....By the time I rode home which is only 20 miles from the dealer the tire felt real sticky.
Hope this Helps you Out
Ride Safe
Snuffy

Thanks Snuffy, I ordered yesterday and paid about $19 more for the tire than you did. Next time I'll order from your guys. I've heard the BT-016 is a good tire, it's going on the CBR this time and if I like it and it wears well I'll put 'em on the 14 next go around. I have been running Dunlop Radial Qualifiers but they are getting very pricey. BT-015 was OEM on the CBR and I like the tire but it wore out way too quick.

I'd be interested to hear a review of the BT-016s. I have them and i really like them but i have never tried anything else. If you buy some for the 14, I'd try the 190/55 BT-016 for the 14 if you have never tried a higher tire. It makes a big dif from stock height tire but it costs a little more too.
