bt 016's I think?
I am going to a different tire soon. I dont know if its just the battleaxes but every time I have locked the rear tire up I never heard so much as a screech from it. Plus they take forever to warm up?

they were fine for me.. I just didnt like how long it took for them to warm up.. I never got into a situation where they felt like they were going to break loose. Im going to get either some 2cts or some power pures.. only 15-20 bux more than the bridgestones

Can't go wrong with a dual compound.. And the price difference is minimal

I was on my way to the thread to post a bit about cold steel and then realized that this wasn't an off topic thread...

The 08 came stock with BT015's. They were ok for a stock tire. I got a fare amount of miles out of mine. Once they were finished I moved up to the BT016's and fell in love with them. The grip is fantastic for a street tire. Built my confidence up instantly when I got them.
