The New BT-016 Pro is a substantial improvement over the standard BT016 from Bridgestone. After research they decided to make the Pro model 016 because the original did not perform well in the rain. The new Pro was originally designed for use in Europe only, because they ride in the rain more often, but after some thought Bridgestone decided they should bring the better performing BT-016 pro to the USA. So If you are looking for a sport bike tire with excellent feedback over all handling, the BT-106 Pro is the right tire for you. If you want more mileage, then check out the
