What are you talking about? BT-002 RS are the newest street tire from Bridgestone according to the website. The BT-003 is a "race" tire and not recommended for street use even though it is DOT. As far as "out of date" goes,the damn BT-016s haven't been out long enough for that to be a concern. I only buy and/or post deals from what I believe to be reputable sources. BTW if you're REALLY worried just call Competition Accessories and have them (or Dennis Kirk) match this deal. I just ordered the BT-002 RS tires for $240 shipped from Competition today using this technique.

Hell, there were people HERE in Austin that didn't understand dates on tires and bought old tires from Cycle Gear in person. They were BT016's - which the product number has been out for a few years - you just need to make sure you're getting the NEW compound and not the OLD ones. The ONLY way to do that is with a date check. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=11

I love you Zoomie! Call me! man,I was just fucking with you,yeesh! Now,I understand that the BT-016 have been out for a few years but as far as a compound change goes...that's the difference between the OEM tires and the aftermarket tires baby cakes. Last I knew the OEM buns cost WAY more than the aftermarket tires. I will admit that I thought you were saying that the tires might be "bad" because of age which would be absurd. Anyway,sorry for teasing you buttercup! |

I wish they would have re-numbered them rather than just updating the information about them.... not that the "old" 016's were bad, but now they are OLD. So, not only could you get something that's been sitting in a warehouse BUT - you could get the OLD compound. I buy through the trackside race supply
