^^^I wanna know too. I ran a set of 002 race on a Sunday trackday and love them.

Well the week past and the weekend goes by.. like a breeze and i had tried the bt002 this past weekend... one good canyon ride on it.. of course i had to scraped the shine off of the tires on my first run... then on the second i was able to open up a little bit... and at first i felt good it held up its line on the turns... i was able to trail braking on some turns ... i was able to test it on the twisty part of the canyon and the fast swiiping ones too... to me so far so good... im comparing it to previous tire corsa 3 the bt002 made me ride differently on some part of the canyon... and som wide turns its because i started relaxing too much... and forgot i was going fast on the turns.... i had the tires psi up there tho i was going on between 34 to 37 psi front and back... and i still have to go test it again on my next track day on the 24th... this time it'll be different type of text... i just hope i donn't eat shit....the vertic so far ...so far so good..
if you guys want to see where i went to test this tires out here's the link :

Is that the race of the street? I ran the pro's on the track and they were freakin insane! Couldn't get the back to hook up like I wanted due to grueling track temps...

[R6 Raven]

i have the btoo2rs... what air you runnin on it?? at the track.. and how was the weather temp was?? was it too cold or too hot??? cuz in 12 days time i'll be hitting the track.. since i have no base air psi on this tires .. im thinking i might bump it dow to 29 rear 30 front... or just go 32-32 front and back... imma do more research on it...i wish i can ride it again this week end i'll probably cruise by the cost.. real quick then prep it for track just to get a feel for it... during your track were you able to get the tire on the right temp..?? or the whole 8 sessions was just insane??? what do you recommend..

I just finished reading and looking for reviews about this tire.. and i looked at different forums different riders different bikes and it seems like the bt002rs runs good.. the life of the tire maybe fast but the performance is there... alot of rider said camparing it to other tires.. the BT002rs run simmilar to the corsa3 with difference on the leaning part.. due to the roundness of corsa3 the 002 is a little easier to lean...and comparing with the mich 2ct's some riders said.. the rear slides more than the 002 so i guess its sums up to how the weather is and the temp of the track is... and for base psi on the tires allot of riders and one rider got it from bridgestone itself to start out at
31-30 front-rear allot of good review on the front tire.. they said it stcik pretty good...

Hey sorry guys i have been away for a while. I get mine through Mize Mobile at www.mizemobile.com as far as race tires go they have a really good price and I couldnt be happier with them.

something i have learned by talking with quinten- set the tires cold at 28 front and 26 rear and leave them be. I use to set them hot and they would get greasy about 7 laps in. They pay good contingency money too, and they pay relatively quickly I have heard some bad things about the Pirreli money anyone having any problems?

[R6 Raven]

what tire you talking about bt003?? pirreli??

[R6 Raven]

on the BT003 tires what the difference between types?? is it the tire compounds?? from soft to hard?? which one is softer if thats the case?

[03r6squid]

yea the bt003 is the new Bridgestone replaced the 002. the type is the compound the most common is a type 4 front with a type 3 rear which is a soft front and medium rear. I was just talking about pirelli as far as contingency goes, they don't pay as much money and it seems from talking with others that they aren't getting the money out very fast.
