Ganesh V Naperville,  IL Great tires I previously had the original Bridgestone Excedra tires on my GS500. Compared to that these BT45 is a great tire. The handling is better on my bike. This tire also raised my bike height a little bit making look sportier and feels easier to ride. I hope this will last little longer.

Caleb Dixon,  IL Great Tire Buying a new one today for my GS500F. Last one (rear) got me 13,000 miles. Last week, I was riding at 65 mph in the pouring rain with these tires at the end of their life and my traction was still excellent. If you do something stupid like lay on the throttle in a tight corner, they can slip, but normally this is a very sticky tire, rain or shine.

Fitz Huntington,  WV Great in Water, etc. This is the identical replacement rear for my 2007 Suzuki GS500F. I got 11,000+ miles out of my last one with the front still going strong. Rides great on a dry day or in the rain. I have also recently had to ride home during flash flooding and had no problems going through standing water of a few inches. I will continue to use these as long as they are manufactured, they're a great blend of treadware and stickiness.

Tony Chino Hills,  CA Good Tire for Yamaha wr250x I bought this to replace the stock tire for my 2008 Yamaha WR250X, which was a BT-090. It so far has been a good tire, not nearly as soft as the stock, so obviously it's going to last longer. I use this bike as a commuter, so I don't need the "racetrack" grip, although the BT-45 provides adequate street traction. In most cases I can't tell the difference. I would definitely recommend this tire for any street bike.

Marc Clermont,  FL Bridgestone - Battlax BT-45 Sport Rear Tire Put the tires on a 2007 Ninja 500r. Minor clearance issue with the chain guard, but no other issues noted. Took the experienced rider course a week after the tire was install (about 200 miles) of road wear before the course to ensure good traction. Tire did an outstanding job on the course. I put tread life at 3 because it is a new tire and cannot comment until the end of tire life, but most motorcycle tires have only about 7,000 miles tire life. Overall good tire, and arrived in about a 10 days. Good price also.

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.
