I am a Bridgestone tire fan for both cars and bikes but after swapping out the OEM BT-020's for BT-016's with a 190/55 in back all I can say is the BT-020's suck. Going with the 55 series in back has been covered a lot but the combination of that with better tires makes for a much better handling bike and I wish I had done it months ago on my '14 N1K. Went for an 80 mile ride thru the Smokies here in NC with the new tires and it was the best ride I've had since I've owned the bike. Grinning like an idiot all the way thru the twisties.
