    BT016 tires

    I have been using Continental Road Attacks for quite awhile and like them, but Bridgestone BT016s intrigue me. Anyone try them yet?

    STREET - I've not run them too hard (not pushing the front yet), but they're very neutral and have very good grip & quick warmup. I'd definitely consider running them again, if the local Michelin man wasn't such a cool cat.

    Great street tire. I've put about 1k miles on mine so far and they are really good, no complaints.

    I did one track day with them (90% rain) and they had good grip in the rain and good grip in the dry, However, I didn't run them that hard. I've heard/read that on hot days, the very outer edges (softest compound) can get slimy. I have yet to experience that on the road though.

    Cheaper and PP2CT, Conti's, pirelli's and Dunlops too. Pretty hard to beat.

    What's the Michelin equivalent to a Road Attack? I used to run Pilot Roads, but I'm pretty sure they are no longer made.

    You can still get pilot roads and the roads 2CT (Dual compound tread). The equivelend would be Pilot Powers i believe. Powers come in the 2CT as well.

    Karaya One, Any decent deals on Pilot Road, 180/55 and 120/70s? I liked those when I ran them. Saw none in the ebay store...
