Run S21 (2.2bar front/ 2.1bar rear, cold)on CBR600 1998, intermediate+ level , nice wearing, quiet hard rubber so i can make 8 track days with rear and maybe 12/14 track days. They become a bit slippery when reaching wearing limit, but still manageable.
I had them in my r6 and they were sticky enough and confidence inspiring enough to let me reach mid-intermediate pace on my first day out. Great tires.
S22 are the lords tire. I used them through intermediate group and it’s the only tire I’ll ever use on the street
Bridgestone weather peak is far and away the best all season I've used. Good in the winter & a solid daily driver tire the rest of the year.
Bridgeston are super dourable tho, i got then on my mercedes sprinter generator 3,4 tons and they handle and last well, all seasons aslwell
Bridgestone A005 is exceptional in non-snowy conditions and definitely weaker in snow (but still miles ahead of any summer tyre). It is just tuned more towards mild climate and will get you home safely when you come across snow.
Ridden both for XC racing and I have come to prefer the specialized tires over maxxis. I personally like to run ground control T5 upfront with fast track t5 in the rear as my base for my local trails and most race courses ( mid Atlantic area US) . If the course is hard pack and not super technical I’ll run fast track upfront with fast track or renegade in the rear. My I also found to get I got pinch flats more often on maxxis or side wall cuts through rock gardens. This is completely a personal preference but I’ve also felt more in control of the bike with specialized tires I mentioned
I have also ridden both. Like pretty much everyone else here said, it’s a matter of personal preference. I had a lot of problems with the 120 TPI Maxxis XC tires where I live because we have a lot of sharp rocks. I have been using the 60 TPI rekon race tires for the last couple of months and they have been great.
Not my favorite tire but rubber and casing make a bigger difference than tread patterns. Especially in the roots and rocks. I'd take a 3c Maxxis anything over a Kenda every time.
I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.
