Why Bridgestone tires

[AfroStar]

Going to get some new shoes this weekend, BT016.  Should be a nice day to test.  which leads to a question.  Is there a "breaking in point" beside warming up the tires.  Will throw up some feedback after the weekend.

You will love the BT-016s.  You may not like the mileage.  I am currently running them and they are great.  As far as a breaking in point, I just took it easy for the first few miles and corners slowly leaning the bike further and further.

I retract my statement about Qualifiers.  They stuck fantastic today.  However, I think the whole warming up & pushing thing applies.  I spent 57 miles on a tight, twisty road working on my form.  They did good then.  I'll either go back with Diablos or go to Pilot Roads for the M750's next set though.  I've made the Qualifiers wear funny.

Nothing against the Japanese made Bridgestones on my 696, they are good tires and I like them, but why didn't Ducati go with Pirellis of all brands for the Italian made motorcycle?  To keep the cost down?

To sell Michelins after you buy the bike.
