It’s time to put your trust in the world’s best bike tyres
 Bike Magazine R1200GS Tyre Test September 2008 Bike Magazine has been testing tyres again. This time back to Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, now with a BMW R1200GS and offerings from Avon (Storm/Azaro ST), Bridgestone (BT-020/021), Continental (TKC80 Twinduro and Road Attack pairs), Metzeler (Roadtec Z6), finally Michelin (Pilot Road). “Brunters” is unique in the UK, with space for absolute top speed runs, ropey surfaces and controlled conditions. Each set of tyres was subjected to a minimum of ten flying laps. Conti’s Twinduros were the odd ones out so the magazine, in fairness, didn’t assess them against the competition, but for extreme contrast purposes. Amongst the other runners, scores of between two and five stars were awarded, with the Bridgestone combination being clear winner. “The Avons and the Metzelers are good, but the Bridgestones are just better everywhere“, said Bike’s Bruce Dunn. www.bikemagazine.co.uk |

Both require tyres that enhance overall performance – in other words, match the technical features of any bike, and also the style of any rider. With Bridgestone’s range of ultra high performance tyres, human and machine are united in perfect harmony.
