2010 Street Bike Tire Comparison...

I went back and started re-reading the tire test article.  I find it kind of interesting how they are stating that the 2CTs, the Rosso and the BT-016s all have similar profiles.  I'd have to say that the 2CTs and the Rosso have VERY different profiles from what I have experienced on my bikes.  I'm wondering how that 016 would feel like...

I had the 016 on my old Gixxer. More triangular than the Rosso but not as much as the 2CT. I'd say the 016 and the Rosso had similar turn in characteristic. All of them hold just fine. At one point I was thinking about getting the 016 for the Duck but they were too much of a hassle to get compared to a local purchase. What's odd is that Cycle Sports doesn't stock the 016 and yet it is the stock tire on the GSXR.
