    Only my view. And I've not tried the BT 23's but have used bt14, 15,16 and 21's and compared to 2ct's and the Dunlop sportsmarts I have used since they have no impressed me at all. Better out there

    The best all rounder is apparently the new dunlop sportsmart, as remal will tell you they stick like glue, wear well and handle in the wet and dry.

    Got to be worth a look, I have tried 014 and 016 they were ok but milage was not great for what you now need

    I can say they are stunning on track and still loads of life left in them. Only 500 road and track miles done on them but after my euro trip in 4 weeks I'll report back. But I will be buying more. Very impressed
