Bridgestone S20's are on sale at Cycle Gear so I gave them a try. They are great. Very sticky. Predictable. Quick. Lots of feedback. Now by the time I change tires, my old ones look like triangles and have tread showing, so new tires always feel great. But I like these at least as good as the Q3's. Don't know about wear, but I never get many miles out of any tire, so we'll see. | ||

I put those on my 1125 and got a few thousand on it before I sold the bike, also put them on the xb9 and now the M2 I just picked up recently. Long term (2000+ miles) on the xb9, they're holding up well, but I'm not pushing it all that hard. It's more of a commuter bike for me. Overall, I'm happy with them, I had been using the BT-016's. Btw, motocycle superstore has a pretty good price on them as well. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/45670/i/bridgestone-battlax-hypersport-s-20-front-tire (Message edited by d_adams on August 10, 2014) | ||

Anxious to hear how these hold up since you've compared them to the q3's. I'm at the end of my 2nd set of q3's this season. Seriously awesome tire. | ||

Lol Dean and I literally just had a conversation about how he likes those tires. Like 10 mins ago. Sound good to me. 7k on a rear and 10k on a front. I'd be willing to give them a try. | ||

I really like the Q3 as well. They went fast though. These were cheaper on sale and I really love my racing stones. Hope they last a while. | ||

I have always like thos BT-016s. I went to the Q2 because of the hype and I got several sets for about $200 shipped. Do the S-20s have a more flatter profile like the old BT-016s? The Q2 and Q3s are quite rounded, which is great for a quick turn in. I would definitely consider Bridgestones again. I just wish I didn't get a $20 off rebate for Dunlops every time at the races. | ||

The more I ride these, the better I like 'em. Great feedback on the brakes, very predictable when sliding. Monster grip on exit under throttle. |
