Bridgestone Battlax BT45 High Performance Tires

So far I put 13k miles on these tires in the past year, last me a long life. Ride Kawasaki Ex500.

I bought these for my '86 Yamaha SRX600- a 40hp, 390 pound street bike. So not powerful, and pretty light which should equate to longer life. Used mainly to commute, and also for local twisties leading up to Alice's Restaurant in the Bay Area (70/30 commute/fun). After 6,000 miles, the rear is about 90% worn mainly in the center; front maybe 30% if that with no noticeable flat section in the center. Replaced both as they've been on the bike since 2004. Good tires overall- replaced with the same kind as the selection out there is limited for older bikes. They do tend to wiggle some on rain grooves, but nothing alarming.

PROS: Front wears well, Handles well

CONS: Rear almost gone in 6K, Some wiggle on rain groov

BEST USES: Older bikes, Sport Touring

I have had a set of these front and rear for 7k miles now on an F800GS. The front is only 30-40% worn, and the rear is down to a bare strip in the middle. The front has cupped slightly, but will last another rear tire. The OEM Battlwings lasted 10k miles but(front)cupped a little worse due to the tread pattern. All in all a great tire. They will out perform what I can throw at them without getting in trouble.

PROS: Great handling, Front will outlast 2 rear

CONS: Rear wears quick

Have logged over 14K miles on it. Tires has good traction for daily communting. Can't rail in the twisties with these tires however, they work well with a mild pace. As other have stated, the rear wears out quicker that front. Overall good tires.

PROS: Great traction
