I get better mileage out of the 003R/S than I did the 016. The center compound wears like iron. I wish more tires came with harder center compounds to maintain the profile under street use.My prediction is it will feel just like the BT-016 Pro, with decent feel, good stability, non-twitchy progressive turning, and poor treadlife (like most hypersports). I have kinda become a Bridgestone guy, having tried Dunlops and Metzlers; had the BT-016 OEM, 016 aftermarket, 016 Pro, now looking to try the S20's soon. Looks like they have done away with the (3LC-5Zone) Std 016 tread since the 016 Pro (2LC-3Zone) , and are continuing this trend with the S20.
How terrifying is the RS at like 40-55 degree temps? I loved the RS at the track, most predictable tire i've experienced (well for my skill level) and the wear was incredible, only moved on to a DOT race tire because it didn't have quite the outright grip. I just wonder what it would be like cold on the street?I get better mileage out of the 003R/S than I did the 016. The center compound wears like iron.

the 003rs is way above the q2. it's more like dunlops's gpa's, metzeler race tec, pirelli super corsa, and michelin power pure's. it's a track tire you can use on the street basically.I think this is 016 replacement.
I think their 003RS or 003 is more of a direct competition with the Q2 in terms of performance.
How? The Q2 is better than the power purethe 003rs is way above the q2. it's more like...michelin power pure's
those things are old news dude.I'm thinking of trying a different tire this season, but I just love my 2cts so much.
the q2 is just a normal hypersport street tire like a bt-016 from what I've been told.How? The Q2 is better than the power pure![]()

they have a bt-16 pro out now. I just bought a set to try.
I still miss the bt-002rs. god that tire was the shit. I liked it more than the 003rs

you're grouping it with basically hard race tires. the gpa from dunlop is more like the power pure.
and the 003rs crosses into race use category.
oh I did mean power one 2ct.2010 Street Motorcycle Tire Comparison - Motorcycle USA
They put 003RS and Q2 in same group. Q2 in Street Willow best 003RS's lap time. Power Pure is a street tire and is marketed as Q2's direct competition.
Personally, I don't see how Power Pure is at the level of GPA, because people race with GPA but never with Power Pure. Or do you mean Power One?
Hmmm, well im due for new tires this year so Ill have to give the power pures a try. Are they essentially the same tire?those things are old news dude.
michelin replaced those with the power pure 2ct years ago.
