Mike Huntington Station,  NY Great Upgrade Just put the BT-45s on my Ninja 500R as a replacement for the stock tires. The stocks are also Bridgestone so I was a bit skeptical but man I love these tires. I have a 140 on the rear and love it. Great stability on the highway and amazing cornering, I highly recommend them. Not too sure on tread life yet though.

John Phoenix,  AZ BT-45s are great on my CB750 I got 11,000 miles out of the rear and the front has 12K miles and more to go. The Perfect split between long wear and stickiness. I'm buying another set.

John Orlando,  FL Battlax 45, 130/70/18H This is the 2nd Battlax 45, 130/70/18H tire that I have bought from Motorcycle Superstore. I mount it on the front of a GoldWing 1800. This tire performs very good on the front of this 900lb bike. It handles well with much more rubber, so the tire last a lot longer. I ruined the first one when I hit some road debris that I couldn't dodge. The tire lost all its air in a few seconds. I was able to ride this tire with no air for about a mile to get to a place to repair it. It didn't fly apart or separate from the rim. It only wobbled when I made a short turn off the road. I ordered a new one as soon as I got home. MC superstore has fast shipping, good people to deal with.

Flightmedick Tulsa,  OK Battlax BT-45 For what it is I guess its ok. I should have got a Radial & I should have got the V instead of the H. You can really feel it moving around in turns.

Keith Carmel,  CA Great tire for dualsport bikes with 18 & 21" rims. Road use only I ride on and off road (dual sport) but when riding on road only these tires seem to be one of the better choices for 18 & 21 " rims. I am pleasantly surprised on how well the have held up and performed. I have around 1000 miles and they show little wear. In tight stuff I can hang with the much higher horsepower than bikes using super moto style riding. They slide very predictable in most surfaces.

James Opalka Atglen,  PA suzuki dr650 This tire performs well on my Suzuki dr650. It is set up for supermoto racing but I ride it on the road and man with these tires it feels like it is on rails, this tire hooks up and last a long time it takes burnout after burnout and doesn’t wear out fast and how can you beat the price thanks have fun riding and be safe.

Howard Mairson Fort Walton Beach,  FL Battlax BT-45 Put this tire on my 03 Fat boy... 1000 miles of good solid ride and performance so far. Replaced a Metzler 880 with this tire. Will be interesting to see the overall difference between the two.

Lewis Jones Bowie,  MD Battlax BT-45 I only have about 200 miles on this tire so far. What everyone says about new tires is true, these need to be scrubbed in. After getting the tire scrubbed in it has been great. I have had it almost all the way over but never felt like it was out of control. Great tire and if I wasn't going to a radial next time I would buy again. Motorcycle Superstore has great service and shipping. Couldn't ask for a better buying experience.

claus Ann Arbor,  MI good grip,better then others Improved handling on my BMW R90/6 , wears 1mm per 1K miles, lasts about 6000 miles rear, 12000 miles front, driven 50% on gravel roads. Much better then Contis, as good as Metzeler.

Robert Fritts Tucson,  TX Sergant Major Great running tire. Not as sticky as Metzlers MZ-4s, especially not in my wallet. need a replacement at 9.5k miles, but a lot of that is due to the superheated road conditions here in AZ and Sonora.
