You mean the 020 NT (also known as 020RU) where they have replaced
some of the belts with steel belts? I have had one of those on the
rear of my RS (along with a 010 front - great combination) for 10 Mm
now, but I haven't really noticed any differences from a regular 020R.

Overall I've been very happy with several pairs of Bridgestones, but
I think I want to try something new next time. I just can't decide
between the new Z6's and Pilot Roads.. I want something with a
"pointy" profile as the R1100RS needs all the help it can get with
steering quickness. It's like a truck with Z4's.
