Tire Question
After the dyno runs Saturday, the center of my tire is now kinda flat. I have a new Bridgestone oem busa tire that I never used. It is a BT56R 190/17 which is the oem busa tire.
Do you guys think that tire would be a good replacement for the current BT014?? Or shoud I spring for a new tire?

Isn't the BT-56R the single, but softer compound brother of our dual compound BT-014's?
I know a lot of people say not to mix tires, but with both of those being the same brand, and both being similar sportbike tires, they probably have very similar if not identical profiles. I'd run it if I was faced with that decision.

Thanks Matt---kinda my decision also. Otherwise what the heck am I going to do with Hayabusa tire. I am going to have it mounted and will let all know if there is a problem. I know one thing, this tire would only last about 1800 miles on my busa.
