Product Description
Bridgestone BT-090 Battlax High Performance Rear Tire

Refined by using the latest technologies from Bridgestone, the BT-090 is perfect for aggressive riding on both circuit and street. The rigidity of the tire induces better contact feel in corners, especially for slide control during races. The new compound and pattern offer improved grip and handling in both wet and dry conditions, with better high speed stability and anti-shimmy performance ensuring a smooth ride.

  • High grip compound for middle-size class motorcycles
  • Maintains high grip level from start to finish regardless of the temperature
  • The unique pattern design optimizes both vertical and horizontal rigidity of the tire. Less grooves on the tread edge for better dry grip and machine control in corner, and more grooves in the center area for better wet performance
  • Higher rigidity in sidewall area increases the grip in corners
  • Better slide control for easier "line" tracing
  • Improved high speed stability and anti shimmy for better street-riding performance

Joshua Hewlett Harvest,  AL A Great All-Around Tire. This is the stock rear-tire for the Yamaha WR250X Supermoto. I got over 5000 miles out of my first one and am over 2000 miles into my second one. It handles well in both wet and dry conditions and it is very stable. The BT-090 has very predictable traction and can take the punishment of aggressive cornering. This is surprising due to the relative hardness of the rubber. This tire is not made for extended cruising on interstates (for half an hour or more) at speeds greater than 65mph. While it is very stable and comfortable at speeds up to 90+ mph, it wears quickly at these speeds and you start to see the rubber melting and shredding. Riding in these conditions will drastically shorten the life of the tire. All in all, I am very pleased with this tire. It gets me to and from work and lets me fly through the twisties on the weekends without eating my wallet.
