Tires on the GTR 1400

[BlueVFRank]

Have you guys (don't believe there are any girls on this part of the forum, if so i appologise) noticed that on the demo's they've got the new Bridgestone BT 021??

Wonder of this is a special version? The new dual compound stucture should help tirelife. I think my first replacement will be the Metzeler Z6 wich hasn't got any tread in the center of the rear tire but relies on the front tire to clear the road.

Yes, i mean on the GTR, i'm leaving the 31st of may on a trip to the most northern point of Norway so when i get back mid june i believe it will be time for a fresh set of rubber.

arrivederci

p.s we visited Italy in october, been to Arraba for one week and just above Pisa the second week. Both area's have their charme. Off course we made a short stop when passing Marranello etc

Heh heh heh....not just a 2-wheel fan, are you?

Next time make sure you stop in Milan and we'll have a beer (for starters) and then a few more...

PS: I hope they come up with a dedicated version of the Z6 for the GTR's rear 190 as they did for the FJR1300's 180...
