The BT002 RS track day/street tire was only announced to the public just recently...and it's awesome! Here is part of a press release from Bridgestone that describes the tire in detail. If you're short of attention span like I am, here's the short version: They grip, they last, they are affordable. Not bad eh?

Speaking of being affordable, you might notice that these tires are a bit more spendy than the race DOT's...or are they? Er...nope, they're not! See, the race tires are engineered with exactly one thing in mind: racing (surprise surprise). No effort at all goes into streetability, longevity, highway mileage, stability, etc. Not so the RS. If you ride on the street at all, you will go through at least three race tires for every BT002 RS you'll wear out. For real.

New Bridgestone Battlax BT-002 Racing Street Tire Is Z-Rated Ultra-high Performance Radial Designed for Street, Track Nashville, Tenn. (Feb. 17, 2007) – Bridgestone Firestone North American Tires is pleased to introduce the new Bridgestone Battlax BT-002 Racing Street, an aggressive Z-speed rated sport tire that performs equally well for aggressive sport riding or track-days. On or off the track, the BT-002 RS demonstrates a balance of stability, cornering, handling, grip, anti-shimmy and shock absorption needed to perform at maximum potential.

Developed from technology gleaned from years of successful MotoGP testing and race participation, the BT-002 RS offers exceptional front-end contact feel and cornering performance. Designed by Bridgestone Corporation to be the ultimate sport bike tire, the front tire was developed with Dual Tread Construction (DTC) – with a medium center compound and soft shoulder compound to ensure high grip, light steering and impressive feedback. Utilizing Bridgestone’s proprietary construction, compounds and patterns, including a newly designed fine cord breaker underneath a mono-spiral belt, the front tire ensures flexibility without sacrificing stability. The rear BT-002 is specifically designed to gain traction.

Designed much like the front tire, the rear tire is also manufactured with a High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord (HTSPC) mono-spiral belt. In addition, the silica rich compound enhances high grip in all conditions and low temperatures, ensuring excellent handling from the moment the motorcycle starts off.
