Bridgestone BT oem front tire
I enjoy the Bridgestone tires, they work well for me and my bike, got it for a great price, and the shipping was great. Will be needing a back tire soon and I will get it at the Motorcycle Superstore. Thanks.

Great tire so far
I have taken several sporty rides with this new Bridgestone tire the Battlax. I can not believe how smooth an easy you can roll into corners at high speeds. I have had to modify how I drive so I don't oversteer. Rather than leaning hard I just push and sit up more on the tank. This gives me more confidence and margin for error if the road should have some debris in it.

Nice handling tire
I bought the BT-020 before taking my BMW R1100RT on a 1,500 mile trip to Glacier National Park, up into Alberta and back through the Canadian Rockies. The tire handled beautifully in the turns, offered confident traction and was smooth at all speeds. It will be awhile before I know what kind of mileage I get from it. But I had run the last one into the ground and a new tire makes all the difference in the world in terms of handling. Great tire, great service, great price.

Great tire for everyday
I'm not an aggressive sport bike rider but I do like the occasional twisty road. The factory put a set of these on my '06 Ninja 650 when it was new and the front lasted just over 13,000 miles. The tire has great grip and predictable handling characteristics everywhere. I was happy to put a new one on the front and so far (300 miles now) have been getting more of the same great performance.

Great Tire
I have had this tire on my Bike since it was new and I have 16,459 on it now. I do mostly hwy. miles and have driven in the heat, rain snow and am well pleased with this tire and will probably go back with this tire. Hope it will continue to have this tire on the market.

BT 020
Great tire, seems to be a bad match for bike. The FJR tends to eat front tires, as I get less miles from a set of BT 020, than the BT 014's on my CBR. I do however understand it's a heavy bike, and I do not have a fork brace on the FJR. Overall I really like the tires, I would just rather not use 2 sets a year for light touring and a 60 mile commute into Washington, DC. Rain & winter commute, very comfortable. I ride 50+ weeks a year to work, so I see a lot of weather changes.

Hard to judge only after 700 miles but...
I have not personally put many miles on the tire, but it was OEM on the bike when I bought it and the tire still had tread after 12K miles! I just replaced a BT021 and only got a miserable 4K miles on that tire. That is why I went back to this one since others have had such luck with it. So far, the bike has handled wonderfully but I have not ridden in the rain yet. I have done about 700 miles on it, about half through the twisties, and I really like it so far. Maybe this front tire will outlast the back tire!

Excellent Tire
This tire hugs the corners and the tread lasts for many more miles than the competition. Going on a 3000 mile trip next month and you can bet I wouldn't trust my tires to any other than Bridgestone! Looking forward to my third trip out west from Michigan! LOVE this tire!

Tires are great; however the Motorcycle Superstore is the reason I bought them here. Great service and great prices. I did alot of checking and they were the best. Don't know about tread life yet and haven't ridden in the rain with them yet.

Bridgestone - BT-020 OEM Replacement Front Tire
I replaced the front tire with the same tire that was on the bike for the last two years. I love this tire because it wears very well and I have not had any traction problems with it and I LEAN into the turns. Wet or dry this is a great tire. There may be better ones but I know how this one is. I'll buy the same tire when this one wears out. I rated it 4 in all categories to leave room for perfect. There is no such thing as perfect.

I didn't realize my tire was so far gone until I put this new tire on. It seems better than when I got the bike.
I can go into the curves instead of fighting them. Good tires.

Great Tire Poor Tread Wear
I have these tires on a 2002 Yamaha Roadstar Warrior. I don't know how some of you are getting 15k - 17k on a set. I have 17k on my bike and have gone thru 3 sets already. That's less than 6,000 miles/set. I am 57 and ride mountain roads in Northeast Washington so the terrain is varied and I'm not a drag racer. Great tires overall and I'll buy set #4 but don't expect the mileage some of these guys are claiming because you'll be disappointed if you do.

Front tire
Tire works well. It took the wobble out of the front end. No problems to report. 500 miles on the tire since I put it on.

Bridgestone BT-020 OEM Replacement Front Tire,
This is my 3 set of these tires for my Honda ST1300. Love the way they last 12,000 miles on average of hard riding. Always a solid feel in rainy weather as well.
See you in the twisties.

Cups badly
This tire came as OEM on my Yamaha FZ-1. They knew what they were doing with this choice! I replaced the rear tire after 15,000 miles! That's when the tread wear bar showed up. Replaced w/ same tire and have 9k on it and still looks great. The chicken strips on the side are about 1/8", so they hold excellent also. I live in the desert, so no rain to try out the grip, but lots of HEAT in the summer! The front tire lasted another 2k but was cupped pretty bad. I replaced the front tire w/ BT 021, better choice for the front, I have 7k on them and they still look great.

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.

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.

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.

Try others
I try 2 sets Road Pilots did get the mileage out of them. Went back to a know good mileage tire for ME.I look for mileage and handling. I don't ride in the rain unless I'm caught in it.

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.

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

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.
