"It's Bridgestone...or Nothing"

I scrubbed a set of these at Jennings GP in July 2011, and they are simply amazing. Turn in - quick, cornering - predictable slide, warmup - great. I'm mid "I" group, on an 06 GSX-R 1000, running high 20s pressures. A midday monsoon gave me a rare opportunity - still had superb performance at a 3/5 pace (Cornering on a wet track ups the thrill factor); optimized for occasional street (25%), mostly dry track (75%) use for Inter/Adv riders. Triple trackday weekend, great wear pattern.

Daily Driver

I have a Ducati 1198s, I'm on my second set of these... I average about 3500 miles out of the rear tire (with traction control on) I have never had any problems out of these tires. I have run power ones and Metzlers, the Power ones only lasted about 700 miles and the Metzlers got flat spots and feather along the front edges from driving hard... 003s have held the road from new till old...

Great drive out of corners

These things stick like glue in all conditions (dry canyon playtime and morning misty commute). Haven't had a "moment" yet from the back tire, getting on the gas early and hard out of corners (on twisty backroads - trackday is next month). Have run Dunlop 208/209 for years; these are comparable.

Bt003

Really a great tire for gripping. VERY nice. Warms up quick and begins to adhere to the road. I would keep using these on my 14 IF the tread life was better. Two rear tires at right around 2,000 miles each. Otherwise, excellent tires and I'm gonna 'kinda' miss em. Just can't ride a 14 at 60mph for too long! Superstore shipping...excellent... Right on time and reliable (again). Thanks Superstore. Buy these tires if you need cornering grip... it's definitely got it.

Best

These are the best tires I have EVER used... I have tried 90% of tires out there and they don't come close to these in every aspect. And they last longer too...

I run these tires on my supermoto and I don't think there is a better street tire than this. Definitely recommend this tire. Inspires confidence and make the hobby of riding an even more enjoyable one.

Bridgestone BT 003 SR

Mounted on an Aprilia RSV Factory. VERY aggressive street riding. GREAT grip. High confidence factor. Wore out the rear in 1200 miles though. But at this price, who cares? If you are running the super expensive super sticky tires anyway, these tires will perform on the street just as well. A good "B" (or "C") group track day tire as well.

Bridgestone BT 003 Rear Tire

This tire is awesome, I only used it for 200 miles and stability, cornering, and dry traction stay on the road. Very predictable, where ever you turn, corner, downshift, upshift and so on. Very good for the price too. Furthermore, Wet and Tread life cannot rate, low miles on the tire. I recommend it very much, shipping was fast. Thank you again Motorcycle Superstore.

BT003S Rock

I ride an ‘01 Honda RC51 and have run multiple tires over the years on this bike Dunlops, Pilots, Corsa IIIs which were my faves. These BT003S though just impress me set after set. I am on my fourth set of these tires and as far as I am concerned these are the best street tire I've had yet. These tires are all about cornering they seem to have a very round profile which makes diving into corners effortless. These things are made to turn and inspire confidence. And will have no problems handling a track day or two. As for tread life a track day or two. Or get about 2000 miles out of a set which seems to be average for most tires I've used. If you want traction these are hard to beat.
