DirtyRyda Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Cycle Gear has S21s for $240/set before rebate for 120/70 + 180/55 or $245 with a 190/50 or 190/55 rear. Thinking about trying them at that price. Quote

S21’s are great tires. I burned a set in 2500 miles. I switched to T30’s and got a little over 3500. Didn’t notice a huge difference but the remains of the tire said I liked the S21’s better. You can’t go wrong for under $200 a set.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Member Contributer Dustin Posted March 13, 2019 Author Member Contributer Posted March 13, 2019 I'm on S21s now and am really impressed with their 'off-season' performance. I put them on in October so I've yet to use them in summer but they have been exceptional in the cold & wet for my mixed commutes. I was caught out in some freezing rain on my commute home last week and they got me through a 6 block stretch of city traffic on ice. Not a pleasant experience nor something I'd like to repeat but the S21s got me through it. Highly recommended and IMO the bang-for-the-buck tire of the moment. Quote
Member Contributer HughJebolzak Posted March 13, 2019 Member Contributer Posted March 13, 2019 Just received a set of T-31's from FortNine today. $350 CAD to my door. Edit; The tires took a day and a half to arrive (free shipping) from Montreal and I got the rebate approved four days after applying. 2 Quote

Urbanengineer Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 S21's are amazingly priced right now. They are going to be on my R6 and on the VFR this year. I'm pretty excited to run them! 1 Quote
Member Contributer FromMaine Posted March 18, 2019 Member Contributer Posted March 18, 2019 When I found out Bridgestone was coming out with the S-20 years ago, I e-mailed the company asking when they would be available. I eventually got one of the first sets when they finally were available in the US. They absolutely changed how my Vf1000R handled. I now use them whenever I can, my 4th gen is on its 7th S20/S21 rear and 4th front. I don't have a truck or trailer, so if I want to ride in Western NC, its leg over and grind it out. The 3 compound rear and dual front make this doable as its 1271 miles each way just to get there, and its nice to have some rubber left when I do. The only thing I have noticed is that if its 20 F (-7C) or below the rear gets really squirrelly. I left here a few years ago in mid April at 4:30 am in 19F, and took it easy until the tires warmed up. Well they really never did and I ended up laying off the rear brake and engine braking until I finally got to NY. Once the temps were up, no problems. Can't really fault Bridgestone or and manf. for compounds that don't perform well at those temps. A quick look at Rocky Mountain reveals there is now a S22 version, and they qualify for the rebate, may have to put a set on the VFR. 1 Quote
Member Contributer Dustin Posted April 17, 2019 Author Member Contributer Posted April 17, 2019 Just ordered some S22s to go on the VFR. $60 back on a set is really a great deal and if they are as good as the S21s, I'll be happy. 1 Quote
Rollos Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Just put on a set of T31s. This is after putting about 4500 miles on the stock dunlops. I have to say that they're so much more comfortable a ride. I was really surprised since I read Bridgestone is a pretty hard tire. Quote
