I give 5 stars not because it is the best tire on the market, but because it might be (in my opinion always) by far the most value for money tire on the market! I have used 4 pairs + an extra rear one, on a four-cylinder in-line motorcycle. The usage I give it ranges from touring to pushing it to the limit in corners. The first pair was changed at almost 19K km. As I progressed, its lifespan decreased and now I change them at around 10-12K km when they are completely worn out. It has never let me down and has forgiven me for many mistakes. It also performs flawlessly in wet conditions, which is also very important. I know that with a more sporty tire I could find even better grip with a compromise in mileage. What I don't know is if I will find another tire that covers so many needs at such a low price and durability. Overall, I am a devoted supporter of the BT023.
