OEM Bridgestone BT015 - Anybody track them?

[Eddie]

Here is what I asked in another forum:

"If you tracked these tires can you please tell us how they perform in terms of grip, & traction?"

Here is what someone replied:

"I did 30 laps round the nurburgring on mine I went there 1 week after getting the bike

they were ok at 30 f 30 r pressures

I then did a trackday on the same set at croft circuit

front felt ok but after second session the rear could be spun on demand and I completed the remainder of the day slowly feeding the power in to avoid wheel spin

had one massive slide exiting tower bend then it spun on way down to jim Clark esses thought I had a puncture

the rear was so hot nobody could touch it !!!!"

Not sure if I should track them. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Eddie

Well that's over 300 miles at race pace?????? Sounds like allot to me when you think about how fast he was probably going?
That is a sick fast track. You really shouldn't use that as a guideline. Cars exceed 200mph there.

Thanks for your input Ted,

Guess I didn't do the math. I would rate to replace tires for one trackday...kinda feel sorry I just sold my set of BT003RS', tough perhaps the 015s will suffice.

Correction:
There are multiple track configurations.
The GP-Strecke track used for bikes is only about 3.2 miles.
Of course the record time is under 1:30 ...................... Bikes exceed 300kph. whatever that is in MPH it's fast.

That would be top gear pinned

[Eddie]

300 kilometers/ hr is equal to 184mph....

....not sure if anybody is going that fast in the Loundon road race course....lol

Yeah that's a fast track. A little more than I'd expect anyone to go at any track around here.

Here's a quote from an unconfirmed source about "The Ring"

"While it is unusual for deaths to occur during sanctioned races, there are several fatalities and many accidents each year during public sessions. It is not unusual for the track to be closed several times a day for cleanup, repair, and medical intervention. The track management does not publish any official figures, but regular visitors to the track have used police reports to estimate the number of fatalities at somewhere between 3-12 in a full year."

they allow bikes on the full old track (Nordschliefe?) on a pay as you go basis, mixed in with cars

I noticed that. It's like $60 per lap and you can be fined up to $15,000 pounds for wrecking there. OUCH!!!

I think I'll stick to the Playstation II version.
