Just got a pair fitted to the work beast after Bob at FWR sung their praises.
Anyone tried?

Only a very brave man uses 020 fronts ... when they cupped, the tread pattern would create a horrendous tip-in effect on cornering :shock:

I think I've got 020s on my VFR and HATE them in the wet - I'll get the rest of the year out of them and put Pilot Power 2s on (think that's what they're called!!) but they certainly won't be Bridgestones!!

Well first impressions are that the carcasses are unusually stiff compared to everything else I've had for a few years.
These are going to take a while to scrub in properly ... I'd say about 500 miles till they become less twitchy.
They have a really nice feel to them. Have the sign that they will be like riding on rails when properly warmed up.

I liked the T30s but managed to wear out a back one in under 4,000 miles so went back to BT 023s which are cheaper and every bit as good imo.
