Can anyone give any input on those two tires? I think the Bridgestone BT014 is newer version of BT012. I currently have metzler M1 as of now. I just want to plan ahead on what to get next. I tried doing a search and can't find any reviews on the Bridgestones.

Thanks for the input fellas,
-Garrett

Can't really think of anyone here that has used the 014's.

The tire i've been hearing tons about is the new Pilot Power's by Michelin.

Supposedly the M1's and previous Pilots are basically the same tire, and now the Pilot Power is a newer more enjoyable ride.

not sure though, i ride Pirelli Diablo's and am going to have a hard time straying from them, best tire i've ever ridden. The Pilot Power's are sounding pretty damn tempting though, i'll wait till i can find a decent price on them this spring and maybe try them.

i also ride on a set of pirelli diablos. i dont have any complaints so far. from what i read in one of those european magazines the diablos are still there top pick, even over the michelen pilot power. so far i dont know anyone with the pilot power or 014s. most of the guys i ride with use the dunlop 208 gps. my next set will probably be another pirelli, most likely one of those super corsas.

I the M1 and its a great tire once it heats up. If its cold outside lets say anything below 50 degrees don't ride your bike. It will spin and cause you to lose your concentration. My next set will be the Pilot Powers as soon as I do taxes.
