Just put on a "not high performance" rear tire
I love the Pirelli Corsa III's, but only got 1,200- 1,300 miles out of the last 2 rears, so thought i'd try something else went with the Michelin Pilot Road 2 it's dual compond so maybe it will be pretty decent still have the Corsa III up front, it just had too much tread left, so i couldnt see spending the extra cash for another

Hey do you plan on riding this weekend? Btw I considered a Bridgestone BT-021 for a rear but I let emailed Bridgestone and they talked me out of it. Be careful until you have a feel for the new handling and grip characteristics. Especially when mixing brands.

Unless you're ridiculous on that tire, it will more than meet your needs.
I leaned my roads over harder than my corsa's and neither were near the edge of their grip. In fact.... Ill try to get pics of both.. |

i'm not terribly worried about leaning grip as much as getting back on the gas hard coming out of a corner

Local guy ran them at a track day recently on his zx10. Hard in the corners and lifting the front end, hard out of the corners...He had no complaints.

Bridgestone tested the 021 on ZX14's on a race track and they did pretty well I am told.
I have a friend that is faster than you would really believe on a 1200 Bandit of all things and he said they worked well but he only got 2200 miles out of the rear. He usually destroys a super sport type tire in about 1500, so there is some difference. On my 600 I get about 5K out of the 021, but it is the front that wears out first. |
