[Ducati] Michelin vs. Bridgestone

[Ronald Betts]

I too like the Battleax Bridgestones. The last time I did a tire change the 
place I usually by my tires from were out of the Dunlops I normally use and 
I wasnt going to set there with my wheels in my hands and go home. Soooo...I 
bought the Battleax's. I have to say that I am very happy with these tires. 
I know the next time I buy tires for my 95 SP it will be the Battleax's 
again.



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
