    Im looking for some good honest feedback about the Bridgestone bt-002 racing/street tire. I would also like to find out what kind of tire pressures to run for the track. I like Michelins but i'm trying to find out some pros and cons to the Bridgestone tires(how well do they hold up, and what kind of traction do they have). I'm a mid pack advanced rider. Thanks in advance for the info and I look forward to seeing everyone at Barber :)

    BT002 RS

    I have used these for 4 different sessions at Barber and Tally and I am very impressed with the tires. I rode one day with Power Races then switched to BT002's the second day and my CBR felt like a completely different bike. Turn in was much quicker and felt much more stable when braking. However I did get the rear to spin-up in turn 5 and 8 when the track was about 140 degrees F last June. I am going to try a 190/55 this March.
