Superb tyres if constantly losing the front end without notice is your thing.
And that's from direct personal experience...

Pay peanuts, you get monkeys!

LOL @ Yannih's post. And you know what they say about being funny because it's true (seriously not funny at all...IME avoid)

If you want some sporty good tires, go with M7RRs (great) or maybe Rooso IIIs (have not tried). Be sure to check out RockyMOuntainATV for tires they often have really good deals on Metz and Perellis.

Ive ran thru multiple sets of the s20 evo's on my 06 zx10 and 2012 zx14r. Ive had no issues what so ever and the stick like glue. they are actually an upgrade on the regular s20. The s21 is the new upgrade to this tire. Mileage will be about the same as any sport performace tire Q3, ect.. i get about 6-8 k on the front and 3-6 k on the rear. om the zx10,
less on the zx14 roughfly about 4-6k on the front 4-5k on the rear.. but for the price of the tires cant complain.
But i know just run pilot rd4's on both bikes, great handling and twice the milage,



Luvin My ZX14R'S.

A lot might depend on when and how someone wears a tire. I usually wear my tires pretty evently across the whole tread, edge to edge. The issue was the front at leans started just pushing unexpectedly, I mean one curve it was fine, the next skating across the yellow, the next curve fine again. Then it would happen again just like that. Very scary, never had ANY other tires do that to me, no other changes to the bike (suspension etc.).

I'm not trying to tell anyone what or what not to do. We are all old and ugly enough to make our own decisions.
But I'm 100% with Vic from my own experience with these tyres.
I was riding with mates through the NSW snowies in summer. I had checked my tyres and pressures before leaving. Weather and road conditions were perfect.
And then the front went on a sharp corner.
I only just saved it with legs flailing everywhere. Scared the crap out of me. I thought I must have hit an oil patch or made a riding error myself. Not 10 minutes later it happened again and I knew something was wrong so I stopped and had a look at the front tyre. It was as if I had been constantly riding around a round about because it was flattened on one side.
I contacted Bridgestone to let them know I had a faulty front tyre and after examination they advised the wear on one side was due to the camber of the road.
I advised them to stop making fools of themselves and insulting my intelligence.
They stuck with their ridiculous reasoning.
And after speaking to other riders after the fact many had similar stories with these tyres.
So even if Bridestone come out with the best bike or car tyres of all time I will not be buying them.
Crap product that nearly cost me my bike and injury followed by disgraceful customer service.
Just my experience.
