TW22
I put this tire on my Suzuki Dr650 twice already. I get at least 5000 miles out of them, and that is driving the bike like I stole it. I only drive it on the streets. It's only flaw is that the tire skids fairly easily when braking. Definitely a good value for those looking for a street tire with good tread life.

Long lasting rear
This is my second TW22. It felt a little bigger and heavier than stock but handled fine wet or dry. The tire lasted forever, well over 10k. It was used strictly for on-road travel.

TW22 Tire
I put the Bridgestone TW21 and TW22 tires on my KLR650. We have done some riding on paved roads, gravel roads and some river bottom roads. They seem to be doing OK, They are especially good on the highway.

This is the second TW22 I've put on my KLR 650. The first lasted over 6000 miles (twice the life of O.E.M). I'd rate it at 70/30 road/dirt. Excellent on hard packed dirt roads, and about average on the looser stuff. You can scrape the pegs on pavement, and sticks well when it rains. A great tire for the price. And as usual great service from Motorcycle Superstore.

Great Tire
Was checking out a lot of different tires for my 06 KLR. I mainly ride about 70% street and 30% dirt so I figured this was perfect. The solid band of tread around the middle makes it super smooth and riding with it has been great so far at about 1000 miles. Seems to be holding up well too. However, this tire was not meant for really soft sand, gravel, and wet logs. Without nubs in the middle you give up all ability to really tear through any of that stuff. It has however, been able to hold its own and the stock tire was bald anyway so any slippage that occurs in the previous terrains is something I'm already used to.

Decent Tire For The Money
All around good performance tire. No complaints at all. It is a little shorter than the factory tire. I'm hoping to get decent mileage out of it. It can't be any worse than the factory Dunlop that came on my KLR 650.

Tire is significantly smaller
I have not ridden on this tire long enough to give a performance review, so pay no attention to my ratings. I can say, however, that it is significantly smaller in height/circumference than that of the original Dunlap that it replaced. I matched the dimensional numbers exactly when I placed the order, but apparently these two manufacturers use two different scales. It won't stop me from using the new tire, but had I known, I might have chosen a different tire. Why? Because this will raise my RPMs. The smaller tire will have to spin faster to cover the same distance. I only replaced the rear so the speedometer will at least still be as accurate as it was from the factory.

Bridgestone TW22 review
Purchased tire for rear of my KLR650. Majority of riding is on pavement in all weather conditions. About 800 miles on tire now, seems to wear very well. Only drawback I see is more slipping on downshift and hard braking than the original Dunlop. Priced at $73, very good quality, I will be looking at this tire again.

Great piece of rubber at a great price!
Great tire. It's a dramatic improvement in ride quality over the stock KLR650 tire. The center strip makes the commute to work smooooth, but good traction on the sides. For any off roading that you'd do save for sand or mud or the like, this tire will take you where you need to go. I rated it mainly 4's because 5's are for slicks.

TW-22 dual sport tire
I am very pleased with this tire so far. It was stiffer than most when installing on the rim, breaking the bead when its done will probably difficult, but its holding up great, corners great, feels better than the stocker in sand and gravel. I haven’t had a chance to rate it in wet weather, or how it wears over time so gave that a three. Overall, good tire for the price. Very pleased with it.

tw22 tire review
For the KLR650, this is a great tire for my type riding. I have about 1,200 miles on it now, mostly pavement, with a few miles of fire roads. Behaves very well on wet or dry roads and is very quiet compared to the 50/50 tires I previously used. Looks like it will last a long time also. Very satisfied with product and vendor.
