Good front tire for my bike. I would rate it as great if mileage were more consistent/better. I have gotten as little as 7200 miles and as much as 10,600. Same rider - same riding style, on a '07 Stratoliner.

Second Set
This my second set of these tires for my Star Roadliner and I have no complaints only compliments. The OEM's on my bike were Dunlop which performed well but were lacking in tread life (around 8500 miles) and that was with taking all the measures to reduce tread wear. I cut these tires no slack and get 10,000 miles from the rear tire and 12,000 out of the front. Thanks Motorcycle-Superstore for supplying great tires at a great price.

exedra g851 front tire
The first one lasted 13,000 miles and for the price you can't beat it. Plus got the tire in 3 days. Will only buy bridgestone tires at Motorcycle Superstore. Will need a back tire before summer is over and only place I will buy is from the Superstore.

OK tire for price
Bike: 1998 Honda VT1100CT - New Metzler ME880 on rear - Bridgestone Exedra G851 Front Tire - Had 1 month (wet traction and tread life NA). I went from a Metzler ME880 front tire to save a few bucks. I am not of the opinion that this tire is as good as the previous Metzler front tire but I have only had it for a month but it has seemingly gotten better with some wear. Initially, I am getting more road feedback (bumps and other jerk motions) that I did not notice before with the Metzler but this seems to be getting less as the tire wears. Since buying this, I see that Bridgestone has come out with a newer version of this tire it may be better than the one I purchased. I notice that hard mid-speed cornering, with the change in the tread from the center of the tire toward the sidewall that you notice the transition with the tread style and it feels weird. The dry traction has been good and breaking has improved over the old Metzler (but that was 2+ year old rubber). However I not convinced. I guess sometime I am going to find out what it is like in the rain, I hope that the center grove will effectively spit the water out. At this point, I am not going to buy it again but it just may need more breaking in time.

Bridgestone Exedra G851
Bought these for a 2006 Victory King Pin. Have not had them long enough to rate wet traction or tread life. They are much more responsive than the Dunlop’s I took off. The Dunlop’s made slow close maneuvering feel like driving a large truck. These feel like a sweet upgrade in maneuverability, lighter response. I wanted a bit stickier tire and I'm very happy with these.

Nice Tire!
Very nice tire! Good grip in any condition! I put around 4,000 miles on it so far and it's holding up good! I have it on my 2008 Honda VTX1800F!

Tire review
I have only put on about a thousand miles so far. Have not ridden in any type of wet weather as of yet. Love the traction so far. will let you know on the tire mileage some other time. This is the first time using this brand.
