Ethan Phyllis,  KY Touring only This tire would be a great touring tire but as far as a hard riding sportbike tire goes its not the best choice. I rode this tire hard for about 3000 miles and it just came apart in the center (flaking rubber) but this was hard riding. But with touring riding it would have lasted a lot longer and as far as traction it was decent on dry roads, not like a true sportbike tire, so just keep it as a touring tire.

Ron Jacksonville,  IL Bridgestone-Battlax BT-O2O OEM I mounted this tire on a BMW 1200 LT. My wife and I took a 1100 mile trip to Eureka Springs, ARK. in 4 days. The tire performed just as well or better than the Metzler that I had used before. Now let’s see how long it lasts.

Ken Newport News,  VA Git ya' some ... My riding ability is not of a caliber at which I can discern the difference between soft and hard rubber compounds in my tires. Dry and wet traction? I've never pushed one to the point of slipping on the pavement, so I rate this tire tops (I know nothing different). The biggest selling point to me is that I get more mileage ... about 13K miles ... from a set of BT-020s than other Honda ST1300 folks get with different brands. This is my 3rd set of BT-020s.

Randy peoria,  IL Good Deal I purchased this OEM replacement because I picked up a screw in the tire on the bike. Only had 2,300 miles on it. I checked pricing with dealers and Motorcycle Superstore was about 1/2 the price. I used their preferred installer link to find a local bike shop to do the work. Everything went great. I took the back wheel off to save a bit of money so the tire and service cost me around $150. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again but I hope the tire wears out this time before being replaced.

David Kathleen,  GA Bridgestone 020 Rear Tire The 020 is the second on my 650r Ninja. The tread life is great and cornering has been great here in Georgia and on the Dragon in NC. I don't ride too fast in the rain, but for what I have done the wet traction has been good.

John M Keryeski Jr Herndon,  VA BT 020 rear tire I have put 3 sets of these on my FJR, gets a little slick when it's hot & you are riding at a high pace, but never goes off 100 %. The tire allows slides that, while it can surprise you, it never scares you. My FJR commutes 60 miles a day into Wash, DC all year long, and I enjoy a heavy throttle hand when I am able. Good traction all the way to the edge, very good mileage, the front tire is bald at 8500 miles, and the rear could go anther 1500 or so. I think a fork brace will solve my frt tire wear.

Viggo Warmboe Minnetonka,  MN Darn good tire I've had 4 of these now and I get decent mileage out of them. Wet traction is excellent and dry is also very good for a non-dual compound tire.

Scott Arlington Heights,  IL Tires Tires are great; however the Motorcycle Superstore is the reason I bought them here. Great service and great prices. I did a lot of checking and they were the best. Don't know about tread life yet and haven't ridden in the rain with them yet.
