Whereas the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S21, introduced in 2016, was a revolutionary leap forward in technology, boasting a roughly 36% increase in traction over the previous generation, the S22 is an evolutionary update that seeks to enhance all of the characteristics that made the S21 such a great sport tire without sacrificing anything. While I cannot speak to two of the claims â enhanced wet weather grip and unaltered tire durability â the S22 is a much better tire for anyone looking for a street tire that can endure the rigors of daily life, weekends on winding mountain roads, and the stresses of a track day.

I've been fixated on Q3's #1 since it's made 45 minutes from my hometown in New York. #2 I own a small business where the proprietor is a Dunlop representative and attends all local track events to service racers' tires. As a result, I may get take-offs at a reasonable price. ($100-150 for 1-3 laps on them) I've performed numerous sets. 180/60-17 was incredible...I would never have attempted it if not for him. Bridgestones are perhaps the only tire/manufacturer I haven't tried. Simply never had the opportunity. I was also considering heading to the 55's rather than the 50's, is that what the majority of you do?
