Has anyone tried Bridgestone S20 tires?

It is new tire time soon. I don't ride in the rain and I do ride spirited so extra grip would be nice. I know they will probably wear quicker too. Has anyone tried them yet?
 
i have the bt-016 pro's on my bmw s1000rr.  the s20 are an upgrade to the pro's.  these tires are for 440 pound sportbikes.  for hard street riding and an occassional track day. the connie will eat them in less than 2,000 miles, if you don't push.  if you want a sticky tire in the sport touring arena, go with the shinko verge.  air them up to 44 pounds and you may get 4,000 miles, if you ride slow to moderate. when the need arises you can strafe the corners. mileage is poor but  they are absolutely great. total confidence in the corners, you will grind your pegs away, with no fear.  now i have a front pr3 and the shinko in the back which coming off in 200 to 300miles.  i will see what is better.  the beauty of the verge is that you can run them bald and they still feel great, almost as good as new.  they are also very cheap.  i do my own tire changes so i save that cost.  if you pay a dealer to change your tires than the pr'3, even though expensive will probably go at least 2,000 miles more than the verge. so the cost difference is mitigated.
