Custom 1200 Chain Drive Sportster

This tire is unquestionably at the top of the pecking order. I have absolutely no fear leaning my sporty until it scrapes the pavement. Tracks perfectly straight, no following the grooves in the road. I was previously running a Metzeler 880 - what a piece of crap. I have over 8000 miles on this rear Bridgestone tire, wet and dry, and its still good for probably another 2K miles.

good deal for the price

I'm quite pleased. I've used the Battleaxe for my duece. Very good traction in dry. Wet, not so much. Overall though I'm happy.

'05 Vulcan 2000 Classic

Great price from these guys, unbeatable! It'll be bald by the time I get, if I get, this tire to 6k miles. Great traction=softer, tackier rubber=short life. Same front tire always cups for some reason.

Battlax bt020 for my K1200LT

I got over 19k on my original tire. I had plenty of tread left. Only replaced it because I am going on a 4-5000 mile trip.

Great tire for the price

I've only put 2K on them so far, but they are lasting like champs. I am a soft rider, I don't push my tires to the point where I lose my chicken strips in less than 200mi. For you not scraping pegs in the twisty types these are great tires. I had a little traction issue at over 90mph in driving rain where I could barely see, but at normal speeds in intense rain they hold up great.

Bridgestone BT-020

Great tire. My 3rd one. Wish they carried the 023, which is the newest improved tire of the 020 series.

Best Tire for My ST1300

These are the stock tires for the ST for a good reason. They wear well, handle well, and are reasonably priced. I have tried other dual compound tires and they don't wear nearly as well as this tire. Why try other tires when you are happy with the 020s? The guy I bought my bike from got over 12k on them before they had to be replaced. I am much heavier than he is and I have put > 8k on them already with 1 or 2 k more to go. I ran 021s before and only got 5k out of them (hated them). I plan to replace my current set with another pair.

tire

So far so good, the only problem I had with this tire was mounting it by hand with tire spoons, the sidewalls are very stiff which I would assume is a good thing. I would possibly purchase this tire again in the future.

6000 mile tire for Sprint ST.

I have had these tires from the showroom floor, bought my 2nd set at 6000 miles for the rear and 12000 for the front. Can't beat that type of life for a motorcycle tire. I do some canyon carving and touring back country roads with some freeway riding mixed in. Will continue to purchase these tires until they don't seem to work with my riding style.
