Andy S New Canaan,  CT Bridgestone Battlax BT-020 I ride a Ninja 650R. Tire grips very well when properly inflated and warmed up, even when wet. Stable and predictable up to its considerable limits (I have no chicken strips). When its cornering limits are exceeded it starts to slide safely and benignly. Wear is incredible, except that a hard outing with a bunch of racers has the front scallopped a little, which causes chattering on hard braking. Tires when cold and under-inflated tend to slide.

Pat Arnold Little Hocking,  OH Bridgestone bto20 Very good tire. Running it on an ST1300. Had a BTO21 and it was total junk. Went back to the BTO20 and I'm happy again.

Leon gauteng,  IN Tyre life I ride a Suzuki gsf650. I have done currently, over 12000kilos on a set and must still have about 3 to 4ooo kilos left. There is not a better tire on the market for long life, high speed traveling, and cornering in all conditions. Thank you Bridgestone for a safe tire and I would recommend the tire all day long to everybody I know. Thanks again

Wade Chilliwack,  BC Bridgestone - BT-020 OEM Replacement Front tire Just went on a 1000km plus road trip after getting this tire put on the front of my 2006 Busa, can't beat this price for a OEM and the ride is great for a sport touring type of bike, feels great.

Terry Vella Boise,  ID Not impressed at all. I own a 2006 Yamaha FJR Sport Touring motorcycle. The Bridgestone BT-020 tires came stock on this bike. As a sport rider who likes to take long trips, I look for a tire that has the grip of a sport tire and longevity of a touring tire. These have neither. After owning Pirelli, Metzeler, and Michelin tires on previous bikes, I think this tire is not impressive in any respect. When new, they gripped decently, but after a thousand miles or so, the grip was marginal and gave me little confidence in corners. They also wore out about as quickly as a pure sport tire. They don't offer much road feedback. Wet traction seemed to be ok though and there were no problems with high speed stability.

Joe Wright Longmont,  CO Original Equipment tire This tire went over 13000 miles on the first set that came with the bike and probably still had 3000 left on it when I changed it. Hopefully this replacement will do the same. Buying from a store like this has its draw backs as no motorcycle shop will install a tire that was purchased somewhere else, given this knowledge I am not sure this was a good deal ultimately.
