Bridgestone tyres dry up?

[paintman]

I am new here,but I dont see why I can`t spread consternation,and perhaps a little panic,based on spurious information.Tried to order a new rear bt020 for my 1200 GS at Universal tyres Dunstable today,Man from tyre depot, he say no, new stock wont arrive untill late august/september.Bridgestone are seemingly out of stock!!!!!!!!!!

Michelin Pilot Road would be one of the alternatives. Folks who used to swear by 020's on the VFR site have been going over to Pilot Sports in droves.

....just reluctantly replaced my tourances (which I have been using for the last 3yrs / 80k) with the new BS Battlewings.

Been very impressed so far with the overall grip (dry and wet). Will be interesting to see if I can get the same mileage as the Tourances.

Used the pilots on my VFR but preferred the 020.

I used Pilot Roads over the winter.

They were CRAP!

80k, that's got to be a record - even for tourances

Just purchased a bike with Tourances, previousley hadf 030's which were great, good mileage and grip.
How do your Battlewings compare withthe Tourance?
(As we all, I like max grip and max mileage)

3yrs / 80k!
If that's 80,000 miles I'm very impressed!
I couldn't get that milage from a tyre even if I carted the bike around on a trailer.
