New Bridgestones?

Any updates or testing on the new Stones?

I'd also be interested in something that's a little cheaper than last years 003. Maybe they'll keep last year's tires but for less $$?

 

I've been told that the 003/003pro will still be made and will be offered at a lower price. The new tire will be a little more, but still under $400/set.

Then we will have even more options. Btw, if you haven't tried the pro rears they drive off corners better than the regular 003.

Bring on the new stuff!

 

I absolutely loved my 003s but had to give up BS because of moral objections. Sucks because these sound fantastic.

 

The Pro rears are really good! I took a set out to Auto Club Speedway after the Road A test and went nearly a full second faster with the Pro rear than the Pirelli SCs in a back to back run!

FWIW, the Stones get along really well with the new ZX-10R.

 

Still no 160!!???! Damn!! What's wrong with them.

 

Is this a case where the advantage is with increasing traction on liter bikes, or will lonely 600s will also benefit?

 

Any price on the 003pros? I have not seen or heard of them until now.

 

Try the NEW World SS proven and super fast Pirellis

Let's talk about racing and why we do it and the idea at the end of the day is winning right?

So the new Diablo Supercorsa Dots in the new 180/60-17 and 200/55-17 sizes rock the house!

and don't they make a 160/60-17 too.... Yep they sure do!!!!!!

 

How to they compare to the Bridgestones price-wise? What contingency do they currently offer for racers on the East coast?

 

None.

 

They make 190 rear that is made for 600s yet?

 

The regular 003 190 is made for a 5.5"-6.0" rim.

 

Can somebody clear this up for me. The 160 003 that we race with on the SV's is really a "highway" use tire if you read the sticker on the tire. Is this correct or are there two different 003's made in the 160 sizes?

 

Sucks to be the redheaded stepchild sometimes.

 

I know. Wanted to see the response.

 

There is an 003rs which is a street tire and the 003 which is a race tire but not made in the 160 size? So you are correct, I think.

 

:up: I was betting on no response and didn't want to leave people guessing.

 

As in you can fit a 190 on a 5.5" inch rim? Or made specifically for it.

When I used 003s they didn't have a 190 made specifically for a 5.5.

 

I don't want to start trouble here, so if you would send me the reasons for this in a PM, that would be kewl. I just like to stay informed.

The 003 PRO's came out last year. We've been running them for a while. They are the same price that the 003's were.


No 160. I have been working on that since 2000. We do have possibley the fastest, best wearing slick for the SV going.

My site has pricing info under products. Right now the 003/003PRO's are going for the 5 set pricing. Even if you just get one tire. The 003 R/S's are going for the ten set pricing. Hoping it will help people get out to the track.

We were using the 190 on 600's to help get drive. When the PRO's came out we didn't have to do that anymore. Not all of the compounds were updated to the PRO's, but the 180T3 was and it helped us out a lot.
