On Saturday I put on a set of bridgestone BT-021 on my '93 ZR1100. 120/70-18 & 160/70-17 These have the multiple compound tread, hard in the center and softer on the outside.

They mounted fairly easily and the front only took a 1/2oz of weight. I took the first 100 miles easy as the sticker said. On the way home from work today I rode just slightly faster than normal.

They feel very steady and secure. There is a certain uphill S turn that I hit at about 45, it stuck nice. It felt like I could have easily added more speed.

I think I'll be very happy with these tires.

Seems like a lot of tire for a 3.00 wheel?
Do you have a picture of that tire/wheel combo you could post up? I'd like to see what it looks like on that bike.

I bought the bike with that tire on it. Works well for the bike since the front end is hella sloppy at 90mph. Makes it much more stable.

My camera is broke, unless I take it with my cellphone. But..I have to pay for the net.
