BT-016 vs CORSA 3?

Thoughts anyone? I plan on doing 2 track days this year. I dont' get to the twisties much, but I hit sharp corners with about half lean pretty frequently. I hope find more spots that I can charge into with a little more speed but it's so congested around here. Also considering Rossos and moving up to the 190 55 for sharper turn-in. thx

I highly recommend the 190/55. And you can't go wrong with any of the latest-generation super-sport rubber from any of the major mfgs. (Pirelli Corsa III, Michelin Pilot Power 2CT, Bridgestone BT-002RS, Dunlop Qualifier, etc.)

Havent installed them yet (my Qualifiers are still 1/2 good), but cant wait to try them... :rock

I think I'm leaning towards the BT-016s or the Rossos. Are you guys changing your sprockets with the 55s?

I just put a 190/55 Qualifier on the back, stock sprockets. I like it better than the 190/50.

Yes, I changed my sprockets too... -1 front and +2 rear (and 520-chain instead of stock 530)... :flex: I just trust Bridgestones more than D-lops, my Qualifiers are comin off for spares... Personal preferance... *and my bad, I got BT-002 ST's not RS's... :crash

What is the BT-002ST? Is it the same thing as the RS?

I think MotorCyclist did a review of the BT-016s in this months issue and they said that they encountered uneven wear.

What is the BT-002ST? Is it the same thing as the RS? Could be that it's called the ST in Canada? You know how screwy they do everything up there. :)

Corsa III are great tires.

Could be that it's called the ST in Canada? You know how screwy they do everything up there. :) Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but though it may have been something I've not heard about yet. Maybe it stands for "Street Track" instead of "Racing Street". :dunno

the whole multiple compund idea is a little strange to me. with stories of uneven wear surfacing, i may just go with the rossos.

I just put on my bt-016's today... Im sold.... they stick like glue. If i had my pucks on i would have been knee down in the first 45 miles. They are awesome. I had diablo corsas on before and i h8 to say it but these things are better. They are more stable and dont get upset by mid corner bumps as easy. I have a new fav tire. I had pilot race's, d207's and 208's, diablo corsas, the bt-016 kicks all their asses.... in my opinion

I was questioning myself if i should get these or not...but after reading everyone praising these tires, i'm definetly gonna put my order in.
