Retired Black Rat
A guy at my work has a sideline job selling and fitting bike tyres and recently we got talking about replacement tyres on my 1300.
I explained that I always used Bridgestone 020's at work and the fact that it was a shame they had stopped making them and replaced them with the newer 021's.
He then onto explain that he believes that Bridgestone are possibly bringing the 020's back into circulation. He believes that Bridgestone have noticed that the 012's have never caught on and are aware that some reports they have had on the 021's is the bad reports on grip in the wet.
I used one of the work 1100's in the wet which had 021's fitted and i just could not feel relaxed as I was with the bike when it had 020's fitted.
Anyway, hope this about turn by Bridgestone will come true, I have just put my last set of 020's from my garage onto my bike so I will be shopping around for a spare set.
I was going to buy a set of Avon Storms but I might just hang off a bit and see what develops.
