Anyone Use Bridgestone BT021?

If so, what tyre pressures do you use?

Hoping that the Bridgestone promise of better mileage over my existing BT020 (~6000) is really achievable.

I'm running 40 psi on the rear with that tyre. As for milage it can't deliver worse than the Pirelli Dragon that it replaced. It managed only 5,000 kilometres.

36 F and 40 R seems OK so far on the BT021. Turn in seems generally fine and counter-steer only needed once on a tightening off-camber bend. The front pattern looks very different from the BT020.
Sun was almost out on the Staffordshire Moorlands for a quick lunchtime circuit.
Great- think spring has started in the UK.

I am on my second set of BT021s. I put some Michelin's on two years ago (I have an 04 R1150RA) and didn't like them at all. I replaced the Michelin's with some 021s and got 9000 miles on them -- I felt they were more stable at higher speeds then the Michelins as well. Bridgestones were on the bike when I bought in new five years ago. I liked the o21s the last time so thought if it wasn't broke there was no need to fix it, so went back with the Bridgestones again. If I get the same service out of these as I did the last set, I will be very satisfied.
