Can anyone explain how to read sizes of V02 slicks ?

Bridgestone Battlax V02 120/600 R17
Bridgestone Battlax V02 200/655 R17

What does 600 and 655 stand for exactly ?

Are they going to fit on S1000RR wheels ?

Circumference I think. And yes - they are a standard size for a standard 17" rim.

Did you try them by any chance?

I heard guys from FWR like them a lot, but they don't ride BMWs.

I have 2 sets waiting for Jerez...
Baz and Bananaman have both used them on S1000RR. They are very good by all accounts.

I?ve got a pair of V02?s and R11?s that I?ll be racing on next week. I?ve never tried Bridgestone before so not sure what to expect

Bridgestone

I?ve personally not tried the V02 slicks, or the new R11, yet but I have previously used the older R10 (not on an S1000RR) and they were unbelievably good.

What have you changed from? They aren't as tall as Dunlops, so will change the geometry. I think they are also more rounded.
 
What pressures do you guys normally use for V02 ?

the document on front page says hot: 2.3(33) front 1.7(24) rear.

I heard that people run them around 35psi-22psi after track.

I?ve only ever used metzeller, but sick of paying an absolute fortune for them and getting 2 days out of them
