Bridgestone 002 race tires..Feedback wanted please.

I did a search and couldn't find much on these tires. I put them on at Grattan for a little over half day, and loved them with absolutely no slippage or incidents. I'm trying to set up a group buy on my site so everyone could get them while they are at a very low price, but have had a couple people concerned that they don't last very long, and maybe as short as one day only with the Soft Front/Medium Rear combo. Since I don't have that long on them yet, I'm not much help on how long they will last when railed on until they are toast.

If you have experience with these tires, I'd like to hear how they held up, and under what surcumstances....track/Street whatever.

Also, if you know of any other place to get good info on them would be apreciated.

Thanks a bunch....

SPEED.

Speed - Jim at Trackoholics loves them. I don't know if those are the tires Bojan is using for racing - maybe PM or EMail him..

RR319 and me are using the BT-002 for racing and trackdays. Traction and wear have been excellent with no surprises. I personally think they are the best value in DOTs compared to the big three (Dunlop, Pirelli, and Michelin). Right now we both have one full trackday and 3 sprints on a set and will be using the same tires for another trackday this weekend. We do run tire warmers though so it helps cut down on the heat cycles.

Well, I got some more feedback on the 002's, and it seems that a medium front, and a hard rear would be best for warmer weather. Next set, I'll try that combo out, and come back with my experience.

Would also like to keep this thread rolling with others feedback please.

SPEED.
