    Gosh they have been around for years ,personally I'd have thought BT 023s would be better assuming they are for a Sprint ST. 016s are very soft and sportsbike orientated.

    They are very soft and didn't last all the long to be honest but they were super sticky :)

    i don't do a lot of miles a year so i went for the grip more than how long they will last.not bad for £140

    Hi TT are you fitting these tyres to your rims or are you getting a tyre fitter to fit them ??

    I buy all my tyres online too and fit them diy style, very easy when you get the knack and have a bead breaker. It also guarantees undamaged rims

    It would be a struggle without the proper equipment resulting in the marking or damaging rim in some way.
