Honda Fireblade 1000 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Bridgestone Battlax BT016 Pro Hypersport given 53% (190-50-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 450 spirited miles
Just bought a rr8 blade and came with them on. They’re a few years old and probably had a 1000 or so miles on, and look like they’ve never leaned further than the side stand, so it’s probably an unfair review. I rode 300 miles of mainly motorway on the way home and at motorway speed(ish), and they felt okay. The following day I checked the pressures, squeezed into my 1piece and went for a 130 mile blast around the Dorset B roads. I find they struggle with feel and feedback and don’t give me confidence to lean as far as I’ve had on previous tires (I’ve had s21’s and Diablo Rosso 3’s for the road, plus used sc2 supercorsa’s and R10’s on track) Overall, it’s a pretty average tire. Nothing TOO wrong with them, but not for me and my riding style. I’ll be going for a set of S22’s ASAP...

I've recently completed a track day on these tires and comparing them to the metzeler racetecs I was on these are pretty much on par! I was very impressed with these for a road tire they're possibly the best I've ever had! I've hated all bridgestones in the past but they have definitely got these spot on, would recommend to anyone. Have pics from track with my peg down if you need further convincing :)

Driving on a combination of roads for 200 spirited miles
Was looking for tires that would last longer then 1500-2000 miles i was getting out of the Diabblos, Went with the dealers recommendation of Michelin Pilot Road 2 instead of the latest Pilot Road 4 as he said they would suit my 2008 Fireblade better, Just had the 1st proper run out yesterday to scrub them in and they do not disappoint, mixed weather yesterday so some dry some damp road, tires feel really good took about 100miles just for them to start scrubbing in, and with a predicted 7- 8000miles to a rear tire they certainly seem like a good choice

Track tire first, road tire second. This is what they're made for and this is what I need. Dry grip 2nd to none. Amazing turn in and feedback. There is no tire that gives better dry grip. Being a track biased tire you need a couple kms road riding for them to warm up after that theyve got more talent than you. Wear rate is normal for a track tire but beTter than racetecs od similar compound. My Medium D211s 60% longer than Racetec K2s

i've just fitted these to my 900 blade. gotta say already i love them more than the battelax bt021. havn't evan scrubbed them in yet but they already offer more grip than the bt021's. power wheelies on damp roads no problem and that was on the way home from getting them fitted! 10/10 so far. gotta put a few miles on them yet b4 i start really pushing the lean angles. i have confidence in them already tho. i would never get the battelax over these!

Great great dry grip, not so hot in the wet but you generally tip to around when it's raining and you're riding a hypersports bike!
