BT023 (sorry)
« on: August 18, 2011, 12:47:13 PM »
Well I'm looking for a front tire for my 02.  My GT is almost history :'(.  I found the Bridgestone BT023 in 120/70zr-18.
So here is my dilemma:  I am currently running wing sized GT's 130/70-18 (F) and 160/80-16 (R), if my memory serves me correctly.
I want to go back to stock sized tires but I have a ton of life left on my rear.  It shouldn't affect handling all that much with a 120 on front would it.  Wouldn't it just lower the front slightly?
I haven't looked online yet for Avon storm2's.  Do they come in the wing size? Where are y'all getting them from
Sorry for another tire thread :banghead: :battle:

Deal done. One of the last GT-s is on it's way to a new home.

Shoot, I don't know if I should build a frame for It and hang it on my wall or mount it on my bike. Definitely going to have to go with the later. What a shame. :'(

Could be a whole new line of accessory for you, "Tire Art" or "T'Art" for short. Maybe include some pretty girls, some adult beverage containers, hey just go with it.
