Ran Bridgestones for years and years - ) 010's where standard fitment on K2 gixxer's so thats what I stick to at the moment.

Not a clue how good or bad they are in the wet or on cold roads becuase I almost never ride in those conditions anymore if at all possible.

does the job, thats good enough for me. Besides the 1K eats tires I cant even get 2000 miles out of an 010 so I dread to think how quick it would Kill the profile of something like a Diablo or a high sport.

BT010's are well how can I put it....

They are bleady good tyres, I use them on the 400 all yr round, but something like your gixxer (ie a bigger bike) needs more, it's prolly the reason it's going though them so quickly!

If I was you I'd seriously try Diablo's the one I've got is lasting ages, BT014's don't last as long, but in the summer give you the extra confidence to give the bike a good caining...

But unlike full on road race tyres like BT012SS, Dragon Corsa Evo's etc which give more grip, however take much more time/work to warm up, you don't benfit from them on the road, but BT014's get up to tempature quickly so long as you ain't a complete snail, then just enjoy the extra grip :D

(If you can't tell I've done lots of research into this LOL)

So many tyres on offer, I was always one for bridgestone, and still am, their tyres are faultless really do the job, but the Diablos were the underdogs and I'm well impressed with them, they are worth every penny too :)
