I got 8,000 miles out of the stock BT-020 and wanted to try a different tire that wasn't too expensive. This tire fit that bill.
The profile is different in that it turns in at a faster rate. This makes the front feel lighter, more nibble. This tire turns very fast and requires very little input. It's sensitive but provides good feedback.
I have ridden in the rain and this tire did an excellent job. The tread is much deeper than I expected.
Overall, I am very happy with this tire and will be purchasing one for the rear soon.
Revzilla had an excellent price and shippped the tire very fast. I WILL be purchasing from Revzilla again...
Pros Profile provides fast steering, Great Value, Excellent traction in the rain
