My ST1300 came with it's oem Bridgestone BT020 tyres still fitted. After riding it for about 500 miles I'm giving serious thought to changing them. On these nasty Norfolk roads I'm well used to the occasional rear wheel slide. But I've had several on the Pan at times and in places where I've previously had no such problems on my Deauville. I've also noticed that it can sometimes become unstable when crossing white lines.
I'm thinking of putting on a pair of Avon Storms which have worked well for me on the Honda Deauville. I gather these may not be as long lived as the BT020s but I'm prepared to sacrifice economy for the sake of security.
I be grateful to hear of other's experiences in switching from the Bridgestone tyres.
