Bridgestone BT-021 opinion?

[VisceralReaction]

Looking for a new rear tire and wondered if anyone had any experience with the new BT021. The good, the bad, the ugly?
Thanks.

I've been using them for a few years now, and am very happy with them - enough grip to scrape hard parts, but I still get 20,000km (12k miles) out of them. They match up pretty well (for my riding style) with the softer BT014 fronts - that way I need to replace them both around the same time, rather than getting 3 rears to every front like I used to with the MEZ1's.

I have a BT-021 on the rear of my ST2 and I'm happy with it.  I'm seeing wear bars now, so I should probably go check how many miles it has on it to determine if it lasts any better than other tires that I've had.  I've never gotten more than 4000 miles from a rear tire, by the way.

The BT-021 gets good traction and seems to be predictable.  I would definitely get another one.
