BRIDGESTONE R11 DOT RACE TIRE
PRODUCT TEST
P126
naturally make mincemeat of the R11
(or any treaded tire for that matter)
after about four half-hour sessions;
the 600cc Yamaha had just the right
amount of horsepower not to overstress
the tire, while still being able to exploit
all the advantages the Bridgestone
could offer.
After two days blasting around two
different versions of the Utah Moto-
sports Campus, the Bridgestone R11
proved to me to be right at the top of
what's currently on offer from any of the
big four tire companies of Dunlop, Mi-
chelin, Pirelli and Bridgestone.
The R11 has a different
feel to something like
a Pirelli Supercorsa
SC, which I feel at home
on instantly. The Bridges-
tone requires a bit of wear-in and
solid heat in the carcass to show its
best performance, but when it does, it
is a truly excellent tire. CN
The R1M felt like an
absolute jewel when
fitted with the race-
spec R11s.
