Hi guys,
I tried searching the forum but couldn't find much info on the battlax bt-016's. I have a set of OEMs on my bike and wanted to ask what are the ideal pressures for trackdays? Just as a benchmark, on the pirellis diablo SC2's I liked to run 31 psi front, 24 psi rear. What would this translate to in bt016 pressures? What are the characteristics of the tire compared to the SC's? Also keep in mind the tires are OEM and as I understand it they would handle differently than a set of tires you buy off the shelf. Not sure how much of that is a myth. Mine seem to handle okay (rear got a little skittish at times but nothing to be concerned about, easily controllable) but I only did some brisk street riding so far. Any help appreciated.
