Wear rate on the front is very poor.


General Comments

BT021's replaced the 020. I think they give a more confident feel to my Triumph ST1050 ABS especially in the wet. The handling is very positive. However the wear rate on my first front was very very poor, especially to the centre. This is unacceptable as Bridgestone claim that the 021 tyre should last longer than the 020. The front tyre lasted 300 miles less than the rear!
If the wear rate on the 021 front was the same as that on my 020 - 10,000miles against 4,600miles then I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Lets see what Bridgestone have to say as the front has gone back to them.
