tire question??

Tire question here - didn't want to start a new thread...

Why doesn't ANYONE go with replacing the stock rear with that same stock tire?  It's a Bridgestone Battlax BT56R; pricey little guy...I'm thinking I'll go with that since my first Bridgestone's been so great (8300 miles)...I don't have twisties, I'm just an every day casual Busa rider.  Why shouldn't I get the same tire?  Any reasons I don't know about?

Inquiring minds want to know

Go with the M1's, you'll love them. Their P-spec is made just for the Busa and is the same width too. They do wear a touch faster but why not have the extra margin of safety/grip. Due to their belting design they warm up quicker and more evenly. They are cheaper than the factory replacements as well. I will never go back to the Battleaxes again.

justintime said EXACTLY what I was going to say. I do love the Metzeler's though.

Thanks Brian...I'll start looking at those...

You know, I'm just not the HARDCORE Busa rider that all of you guys are!

Sounds like the Avon 45/46 might be your tire . They last pretty goodly it seems from what a guy I know with a XX tells me . Like over 6k miles of hi-speed Interstate along with some twisties .
