wera803 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Good news...bad news. Bridgestone rebate is out...$50 per set. Bad news: T30's are not included. Damnit! WTF??? I've been waiting for this to get some T30's too. Guess they are pushing the BT-023's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted May 1, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted May 1, 2016 I was able to take advantage of the Pirelli rebate. Bought a pair of Diablo Corsa's for the Duc. Initial ride yesterday, surface streets and freeway, they have a good feel to them. Hopefully next weekend I can test their side grip capability, but if I just go by my friend says about them on his bike (ZX-6R), I should more than happy with them. We'll see how they hold up. I have this mental block about Bridgestone for some reason, I can't seem to be able pull the trigger on buying a set. I think it stems from a set I had on an older bike where the tires were less than stellar. Of course this was decades ago and I'm sure many have the same feeling towards Michelin, Pirelli, Metzeler, <insert brand name here>, so who knows maybe I'll try the T30's on my next tire round (no pun intended).

gloryracing Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The 023's are not available in 190/55 so that leaves the 016 or S21. Have found some good prices on 016 but not sure if they will last long enough to justify mounting and the price difference. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell that big of a difference between the 50 and 55? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloryracing Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Roadtec interact z8. First, It was ridiculously difficult to mount. Not sure why but I almost gave up and took it to the shop. Regarding the ride the tire would 'slip' on corner exits more than any tire I have ever ridden. Additionally it evaporated really bad and there was rubber all over the wheel and most of the rear of the bike. Never had one 'litter' that bad before. I am guessing it could not handle the big bike 2up weight and got cooked. I bought two sets during the rebate period and still have a new rear. Hoping someone else wants it and I can put the money towards a t30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRpwr Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Because Canadian Wallets Matter (too) - here is the Dunlop Canuck-a-Buck rebate site link: Yes! Q3s are on the list! From Pete'sSuperbike the Q3s would be $248-CAD for a set less the $40-CAD rebate = $208-CAD +tax +shipping. Still a deal for a great tire. - Need yet another set of tires after TMAC (I blame Kimble for showing me Hellbender on 28) - PRB's Don't Fall Ride will likely be hard on a set (again) if we're lucky!

Hoping someone else wants it and I can put the money towards a t30. That was Kimball's initial assessment so I avoided them. The M7RRs are another story. Initial impressions are favorable but curious to see end of life handling and wear. There is a new Metzeler rebate for June-July and may have to buy two more sets.

Would be worth trying out if you have the chance. Doesn't come in a size I can use or I would be testing a set. I am getting ready to test the Metzler M7 which is getting very good reviews from trusted sources. Supposed to have decent wear, almost as good as the Michelin Power 3s which are the best wearing sport tire, with class leading grip. Bridgestone has the new S21 too which I will soon test. Keb, Sorry if i missed it, but did you have a test report on the S21's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer kebrider Posted July 30, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted July 30, 2016 If an S21 fits on the bike it is the only tire I use. Q3-like grip and slightly better wear with a little better steering and braking feel. I tried them back-to-back with the Meztler M7RR and the Metz was good but no where near as good as the S21s when you factor in the end-of-life performance edge the S21 has. Great price seals the deal. You will love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
