New Bridgestones?

it kinda sounds like a real life example, not just "they" telling us this. either way, i guess that's why i'm gonna test them - not buy a whole truckload haha. I was going to try them anyway, this mini-review just helped me get on board a little bit.

 

No major setup changes. You may want to raise the front slightly...YMMV.

 

What pressure where you running hot in these?

 

as in hot off the warmers and hot off the track. cold pressures would be good to know too.

 

hot off warmers,

 

I'll have to look at my notes, but I believe 33 front/ 31 rear off the warmers.

Do NOT go lower. Grip doesn't improve and the tire just wants to start squirming.

Cold was 30/29.???? I'm old...my memory is slipping.

 

Wow, thats high. Like Pirelli high. When I ran 003's I was way lower than that.

 

Stickboy Do you have any input on this?

 

That's the exact same as Higbee was running.I thought it sounded high aswell but it obviously works.

 

Higbee's tested them at willow. the tires pressure was 32 hot rear and 34 hot front.

On Curtis bike we droped the tire Pressure to 28 hot and it didnt work at all.the tire pressure need to be around 31-33 rear hot.

 

the R10 tires are a great tire. not just price point but they work quit well. everyone that tried them so far has loved them.

 

What were his thoughts on them?

 

Hot off track or warmers?

 

He was quite surprised on how good they were. He wasn’t excepting them to be as good as they are. I don’t want to talk for him though on a public forum. But I can say he was impressed with them.

Hopefully we can put something together and go race them a bit. You will see soon some other guys on them that might surprise people 

 

any new people who've tried them?

 

Here is some more info on them:

be on them this weekend at nelson will let ya know running a 08 r1

 

Used the rear at Road Atl this weekend. Great grip, good feel and held up well with both Control riding and out having fun. Will get a chance to try the fronts soon at other trackdays, looking forward to it.

Very confident the races later in the season will be great on them! :up:

 

I wonder why the the front only has one compound and the rear only has 2. I think in the next couple years there won't even be any different compound just one that works for everything.

 

With the temps those two compounds are able to cover, doesn't look like they need a 3rd compound type.
