I usually hate bridgestones but these are very good.

Grip , quick warm up, turn in especially in slower corners, stability, front trail braking into corners. And they have very good wear.
Availabe in 16" to fit older blades.
Best tyre's I have had..
£250 pound or £300 pound fitted. But everything is getting more expensive.
I am used to m3's on my 98 blade. The steering on the S20's is not so neutral but the slow speed turn into tight corner's so much less effort and holds tight line better, whilst not being to fast or unstable. And feel/grip is so good. I had a problem with tankslaps from bidgestone front tyres in the past even on vfr800 but these only give a light kick on fast bumpy back roads as did m3(no steering damper hate them). Changing direction takes slightly more effort but a bit more rear ride will cure that. Grip form the rear is great, i found myself letting off the brakes earlier and getting hard on the gas earlier and harder than before. But most ahocking is after over 1000 miles of m way fast A road, fast/slow and twisty b roads, the rear tyre is only showing slight wear just off the edge nothing in the middle. I would have ruined an m3 rear. The only time had any movement was on the exit of a wet shinny surfaced tree lined corner.

Awesome,sticky, progressive, very fast warm up

The S20s warm up very fast, I scrubbed them in within 20km and was able to really start pushing them immediately. The tyres keep their performance levels very high even through hours of torture with 35degree heat in all sorts of surfaces. The movement to maximum lean is very progressive and less radical than the BT016 Pros that I had on previously.

I had a good 450km+ ride with them with the day starting off as hot and sticky and ending up with a thunderstorm and a torrential downpour. The tyres grip very well, even better than the 016Pro in the wet. Front end feel in miles better too.
Price.. €329 fitted is steep
Excellent, the best road tyre I've used so far

Smooth as you like

Good in wet
Great feel
Inspires confidence
Good wear so far
Feels like a better bike
Not the cheapest
I ride an F800ST and thought these might be a bit OTT for a middle weight sports tourer.
Compared to my old Metzlers I don't care if I'll never use their potential, they seem to make the ride much safer and enjoyable.
