Longevity seems high as I would expect from a sports touring tyre and feedback is neutral across the range of conditions, the only thing I want to try out now is if the Z6's big sporty brother the M5 Interact can deliver anywhere near the same result. ]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:26:42 -0800 1017-40 http://bikechatter.net/reviews/60-street/1017-bridgestone-battlax-bt-012-review The BT-012 is a reasonable tyre given the right application, when on a bike ridden in anger it was never as confidence inspiring as other tyres we have tried and that fed through to the wet as well, on a couple of occasions it tried to let go and gathered itself back up so while no harm was done the feedback prior to letting go could have been better. That said if this tyre is used for its purpose you will find no such problem, with a decent mileage range before replacement it will square off long before you get to the end of the tread. ]]> Sat, 22 Aug 2009 14:06:06 -0700 1014-37 http://bikechatter.net/reviews/60-street/1014-dunlop-d208-review A worthy attempt and a tyre that is suitable for high mileage riders but ultimately eclipsed now by better compounds and construction techniques. The D208 suffered mainly from a lack of outright grip in the wet and dry, when up to temperature they were reasonable but getting them to temp took a while and was a slightly nerve racking process - especially on my local roads. That said though the D208 is being phased out now by the Qualifier Lines that have been getting some superb press, lets see if we can get some on test. ]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:41:44 -0700
