Anyone have experience with these tires? I am having a problem getting comfortable on them. Of corse low siding on them at reno fernley did not help.

Anyway

They seem to feel like they are always on a knifes edge and I have confidence issues getting that last few degrees of lean angle.

I previously was running supercorsas and corsa3s.

I am on a ZZR1200.....
 
Ran the last 4 trackdays on them on the '03 636. What pressures and suspension settings are you running? I find them to be great trackday tires.
 
I am currently running 34/36 I was at 34/34 and the real was melting away. As for the front suspension I dont have adjustments other then preload which I backed off 1 knotch. And I am currently running 7.5w fork oil ( stock is 5W)

rear is an ohlins with rebound I think 2 clicks past center ( stiffer)

the latest adjustments I am not having any traction issues more of a feel of the tire. Wondering if that is just the way they are or do I need to work to get them feeling "planted"
 
Those pressures are a bit high for the track...IIRC I was running 31/28 or so. If you haven't already, I would advise getting your suspension professionally set.

I am not on the track as of now I was doing a run on leggit. I was also told for my bikes size from the bridgestone rep to start at mid 30s.

Can you give me insight on how the "feel" . Like I said they are sticking now- but I just feel uneasy- maybe purely in my head after the low side.
 
To me, they feel similar to the Pirelli SC's that came on the trackbike when I bought it this past spring. I've been told that Bridgestone's are a little more sensitive to pressure than other brands. I got them from SCC for well under $300 OTD (wheels off bike). When the PP's wear out on my G1K, I think I'll try the 002's on it as well.
