    Here is a link to the forum about that picture and the tire. Looks like the guy had both the front and rear go out on him at just under 10K miles.

    Page 6 he discusses the tires at 6200 miles, then page 8 is when his rear blew and it goes down hill from there.

    Damn phone.
    *dragging knee is possibility in almost any tire that is not a cruising tire.

    I ran the BT-021's on my ninja, into a semi, put them on the CBR and ran them thru the lsb gap trip and on plenty of group rides.
    Never slipped on me and I kept the pressure up in the high 30's and actually 40 on the ninja, front and rear.
    They had over 5k on them easily, including the gap trip, and still had plenty of life left. Also commuted on them almost daily.

    Once I wear out these Q2's I'll probably buy some more 021's.
