Bridgestone Tyres price rise

[greenb5]

I felt the difference in the BT015s as soon as I rode the k8 out of the shop when new.
I had been using Metzeller M3s for the past couple of years and liked them a lot but the BT015s gave a real impressive feel and grip from brand new and lasted for 10,000 ks.
I did a run down the Putty Rd and back on the weekend and they melted to the point where I was getting sideways drift on many corners towards the end of the day and just as they were getting to the minimum wear markers.
I will put em back on and give another set a go to see if they go the same as the factory fitted ones.
@ Pommie, That Ebay price sounds good but I'm not a fan of Ebay stuff for my bike.

M3s are crap IMO. Not suprised you like the BTs more.
