Replacement tires for Mich PPs
I bought these tires as an upgrade from Mich PPs for track use, after reading reviews from other track stars on Gixxer.com. I have not yet used them, but I've heard that these tires exhibit excellent grip, warm-up time, cornering stability, and decent tread life. They're superior to PPs, but a step below PR3s. I don't think this is the RS compound, but rather the Street mix, so it'll probably last longer. This tire has few grooves, and so makes up in dry grip what it lacks in the wet. Excellent tire, especially at this price.

This is the Best Tire.
This is the third BT-002RS I have bought for the rear, the front is from the first set of 002s that I installed. The rear goes quicker but I am riding a 1000 so it is expected. When it comes to cornering though these stick. I trust these more than any other tire I have run. Including Pirelli Diablo Corsa.

Great Track Day Tire
I used this tire for 8 track days last season (mid pack Red/Intermediate group) plus some street riding and it never let me down. Dry traction was great from cool days early in the season, through the hot days of summer and back through the cool days of fall. I only had to use it on a wet track once and it seemed very stable.

Nice
I thought these tires were pretty good, I have a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R600 and they handled excellent. A LOT of traction, but the thing was the back lasted about 2000 miles, and for straight roads it sucks cause they just wear down. And since they are track tires only sand, gravel, dampness, or anything that is not perfect on the road is bad.

This is the tire for all
I have the 190/55 cause I love the turn in on these tires. FEEDBACK is all I can say that is why I love these tires I have already lost one bike to the pilot power 2CT cause those tires have no feedback next thing you know you are in a guard rail but the bt-002RS is an amazing tire.

BT-002 Great Compromise Between Street and Track
The Bridgestone BT-002 has proven to be an excellent choice for both street and the occasional track-day. The wear rate is better than expected, and the traction level is superb. Feedback through the tire and suspension is confidence inspiring and consistent. This is my 3rd set of BT-002's and I will continue to use them in the future.

Bridgestone Battlax BT-002 Rear
Used on Ducati Monster S4RS for track days. Very good traction and predictable handling, no surprises. Wore out after only 2 days on the track, which is a little short life.

002 rear race/street

Battlax BT-002
I only have 500 mile on this tire but it seems to be performing well. I had a Pirelli dragon Super Corsa on it before but the Bridgestone doesn't give me as much confidence in the corners. I'm not sure about wet traction because I ride on dry days only and it's tuff to say about tread life with only 500 miles on it. Overall so far so good.

Trackday use
I have used these tires on the track (mainly Button willow raceway) for the past year. Though I could upgrade to full DOT-race tires, I feel these tires offer a reasonable amount of grip and life for a street tire for both track and commuting use.
I have been able to push my R6 so much more on these than the previous generation BT-012SS I had on it. Corner grip is much better and feedback is much more communicative, especially over bumpy sections of the track. I have noticed a renewed sense of confidence in the rear of the bike as a result of spooning these tires on

BT002 Racing Street Tires
I recently replaced the OEM Pirelli tires on my 07 Daytona 675 with the new Bridgestone Battlax BT002 Racing Street tires. To date I am extremely pleased with the performance of these tires, after a 100 mile break in period I went out to my favorite back roads and thoroughly “tested” this new tire. These tires heat up quickly, offer outstanding grip at full lean with no indication of pushing or sliding. They are very stable when braking hard, offer neutral handling with no “fall in” into corners and offer a decent ride with only slight harshness over bumps in the road. I have used Michelin Pilot Powers before as well as the Pirelli Supercorsa Pros that came on my Daytona and I rate these new Bridgestones to be as good or better. I highly recommend them for anyone who likes aggressive sport riding.
