Looks interesting. Here's another link. Neither article mentions much about the compound, and the Bridgestone USA website doesn't even mention these new T32 / T32GTs yet. The tread pattern looks good though ... comparable to the Dunlop RS3 / RS4s, so performance may be similar.

Will have to wait and see.

Looks pretty interesting. Hopefully an organization does a comparative tire test in 2021 with all the new sport touring tire offerings.

My 2012 S1000RR had BT16 pros mounted stock from the factory. They were great tires for me on that bike.

I saw that.

I'm reminded that a lot of the engineers think that all that matters is land to sea ratio. Bridgestone changed that ratio, which explains dry land braking improvement.

When it comes to tire grooves, I like to keep my thoughts simple...,

right there with MrVvrroomm's 3 Rs - round, rubber, rebate. (Did I miss that last necessity on the Bridgestone website, or are their prices sufficiently low to start?)
