I put on a set of BT 016's at 6600 kms. I had previously tried a set of 015's on my Tuono, and was very pleased with their performance in the dry.

I am now at 10800 kms, and the front looks like a slick on the left side. The tires started out with excellent feel and steering characteristics. After doing 3000 kms they started to deteriarate noticeably. Less grip, imprecise steering and wanted to stand the bike up when braking into corners.

I briefly tried them in the wet, and my impressions were not too good. They did not give me much confidence.

Verdict: Not recommended

Next I'll be testing Continental SportAttacks on my MM. I am on my 3rd set of these on my T. They feel excellent from the moment you put them on, and continue to feel good for their entire life.
