    The Bridgestone Battlax BT014 tyre is wide and very stable. this tyre heats up very quickly to give security on the road very good in the wet

    Very grippy tyre. I guess thats just the price you pay...but will have to last longer for me to warrant them again, 2500 miles would have been acceptable. If you buy them run about 2 lbs under recomemded pressres for better wear with no minus handling effects. I'm going to tyre BT021 next time for slightly better mileage Let you know how I get on!

    Very happy with the Bridgestone 014's exellent grip right to the edge only downside being rears dont seem to last 5 minutes possibly down to the torque of my vtr 1000 eating them up.

    These tyres are OEM as fitted to my 2006 ZX6R, done 4 trackdays on them and performed well, losing grip with them now because they've been heat cycled quite a bit. Nearly washed out and binned it track riding in the wet with these tyres. If you're going to be making a habit of regular balls-out street riding or trackdays, consider a stickier tyre.

    Good stability, nice and sticky, good contact when cornering. Good improvement over the bt012.

    These Bridgestone tyres came as OE equipment on my GSXR 750 K7. I ve run Bridgestone Bt 010s on a ZX6R and the 010s were great. The 014 s though are very much a different story.
    I found that the tyres took a look time to warm up and even after a spirited run found they were only lukewarm. This could have contributed to a low side spill whilst only travelling at about 20mph (on a dry road!) I felt the rear straight away and there wasn t that much heat there at all.
    The other main problem I have f ...

    Used a set at Nurburgring, Spa (Wet track), Rockingham and Donnigton Park. GSXR1000 K3 (+Road miles). Not bad. Perfect except Donnington where when cold (Oc) low sided on lap 4.
    Ring times of 9:02. per lap
    Would buy again. Lots of confidence and warm up reasonably fast.

    The Bridgestone BT-014 is a middle of the road tyre not a patch on Pirelli Diablo

    The Bridgestone BT-014 tyres are better than the 010's but only just - the grip is pretty good but I don't trust them as much as Pirelli Diablos, and on rough surfaces they are slippery. During hard breaking the front is very vague and I have locked up a couple of times. They seem to last ok though - 4k. Profile is good and they encourage quick turning, and hold the line well, changing direction mid-turn is not a problem.

    I've always liked the way Bridgestone Super-Sports tyres behave, they seem to encompass all the good points of Dunlop (outright grip but unstable) and Michelin(stable profile/but sudden loss of grip at limit.) without the bad points of either. There was a good consistency of feel up until they wore out at 1500 miles but I dragged out another 1000 miles as the weather deteriorated and speeds dropped. But they felt much les stable. Tyre pressures were ok but there was a noticeable difference.
