A buddy gave me a brand spankin new set of Bridgestone Battlax BT014 tires off his '06 Gixxer 750, as he is a Michelin man. I am replacing some very shagged Pirelli's Super Corsas with these tires. He was stating that they are more of a street tire, not a heavy track DOT legal tire. I thought these were the tires that are coming on most Ducati's now anyway. So, I am assuming that they are perfectly fine to be used on the track, but I thought I would ask. I could be wrong, but I thought the British mag "Superbike" just named them in the top three tires out there now............
Two tech questions on these tires;
1) What would be the pressure I would run on the street and then on the track? There usually are not any Bridgestone tech at the track days around here.
2) Do I need to compensate ride height adjustments with the change in tire?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
