    Bridgestone 021s not for me, I have done a lot of miles in my 40years of bikes and speak after using many different tyres any many different compounds. I also fit tyres. Where did such a firm go wrong with these tyres.They go out of shape and make the bike feel terrible.On the GTR1400
    they are standard fitment the front feathered and went out of shape in 1600 miles, the rear feathered out after 300miles and felt bad.I welcome Bridgestone to comment on these tyres and prove me wrong? Poor choice regards wear. Good for a few weeks until they wear uneven.

    replaced 020's with 021's on my ZRX1200R at first all seamed fine but then the front started to feather and finaly wore to a piont, rear no problem, had to fight it into corners and made the bike feel like it was going to just fall down, replaced them with new 020's and now everything is back to normal. won't ever touch 021's again.

    I have run two sets of BT20s on my Beamer, with good wear rates (8000 miles.) Changed to Bridgestone Battlax BT021s late last year, and just cannot believe the poor wear rate in the front, with deforming and ridging after only 2000 miles! The rear is fine. Very positive ride, but not worth the money.

    For a 2002 R1, these Bridgestone Battlax BT021 tyres are totally unsuitable. The backside stepping out so often in wet and dry weather on bends. I guess the tyres are fine for a sports tourer, but they're a shocker for full super sports.

    Have ridden with Bridgestone Battlax BT20's for years on my BMW R1150RT, and have been pleased with combination of ride and wear. The BT21 gives marginal ride improvement but at great cost in wear. I used to get a good 5K-6K miles out of a front BT20, now I am lucky to get 3K. I shall not be buying again.

    I used to have Dunlop D220st's fitted to my XJ900s diversion,i now have Bridgestone Battlax BT021's which at first seemed ok but now nearly 4,000 miles on them the front has squared of as much as the rear, which resulted in nearly stacking my bike due to loss of grip on the front,not nice.Ray

    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 hesit ...

    I have run these tyres for about 5000 miles and they seem to be wearing quite well. I seem to get a lot of small glass cuts in them which is a concern as they are a dual compound. Possibly rear is squaring off slightly accounting for jittery feel on road markings? Certainly in dry warm conditions they give nice feel.

    Long lasting km, had Bridgestone BT020 on previous bike zx14, got over 11 thousand km on back tyre.
    Overall Bridgestones are my only tyre choice on motorbikes and I would not trust any other brand.

    I have been using Bridgestone 020's for a couple of years on my modded vmax, 190 rears, 120 fronts, both 17". These have always been very good, and even though I tended to push them hard, I got acceptable wear rates, i.e.:- 3kmiles+ rear, 6kmiles front. Changing to 021's needed the suspension re-set and a bit of experiment to arrive at the best tyre pressures. the grip, especially rear wheel braking is better than the 020, and the tyres seem to feel a little softer (ride feel) overall grip is be ...
