Eddie Nicholson trussville,  AL 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.

Steve Camby,  IN 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.

Rick S Wenatchee,  WA 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.

Milo Mesa,  AZ 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.

Peter M AcWorth,  GA 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.

John M Keryeski Jr Herndon,  VA 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.

Jim B Huntersville,  NC 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!

Kim Budde Rockford,  MI 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!
