Re: Delivered ahead of time.....,
Received the Bridgestone tire in about a week. Delivered one day ahead of when told, which was good, as my wife and I were heading to Hawaii the next day. So far, it has been doing good. But then I knew it would, as it's the same tire that came on the bike, and I liked the way it handled before. I check the tire pressure regularly, so I can continue getting 14K mile's out of them. Thank's...,

Rear Tire
This will be my third Bridgestone TH01 OEM tire on my burgman650. I average 9,000 miles on the rear tire. The OEM Bridgestone tires corner extremely well. The Burgman corners like a sport bike with the OEM tires. They are expensive but worth it.

Bridgestone - TH01 OEM Replacement FRONT & REAR
I learned my lesson; someone on burgmanusa.com suggested Pirelli's (said they rode better & were cheaper); when it came time for my first tire replacement, I went with the Pirelli's....AWFUL...they want to "turn in" something horrible on all curves, if you aren’t paying attention, you're in a mess. I just went back to the OEM Bridgestones, wonderful. I hit 80 and my 650 Burgman was smooth as could be. I won't change again, and I thought the price here was right. Thanks!

'06 Burgman 650 Executive
I now have 98,770 miles on this bike and have NEVER used any tires but these OEM tires. I am still getting 12K miles out of the rear and 24K miles out of the front. Here's a hint: get a good tire gauge and check your tires at least once a week. While checking the air pressure, check for small cuts, etc., on the tires (easy to do one the rear; not so easy on the front) that might become a problem later also be sure to check the tire valve stem (that cost me a day on the way back!). BTW, West-Central Florida to Seattle, WA and back is a great ride on these tires!

Bridgestone TH01 OEM Replacment
I replaced with the OEM tire on my 2006 Burgman , with a little over 9,000 miles. I thought it was a good all around tire and alot of reviews said it was the best tire compared to other brands they had tried and switched back. Price was good and shipped quick.

The bridgestone seems to be the best oem tire for the Suzuki Burgman I have. It definitely wears longer and also seems to me to give the best traction and tracking; I recommend it highly.

Tire wear
I've seen tire wear reported here that I can't believe. 9,000 miles on the rear tire is what I can get before I get to the wear bars, and I go no more than 55mph. Tire life doesn't mean the point where it blows out so be careful guys. Otherwise it's a great tire, but the center of the tire could last longer.

Bergman 650 Font and Rear Tires
I have tried the Diablos on front and rear and promptly wore both out in less than 5000 miles, then switched back to the Bridgestone’s and got fantastic results, in addition to making a already good tire even better, try using Nitrogen in the tires, you'll be able to maintain correct tire pressure easier (which is critical) with even better performance.

Good Tire
I feel this is probably the best tire for my application but I felt the time from when I ordered the tire until I received it was a bit too long. Especially since I had a punctured tire while waiting for it, I guess the shipping costs were in line.

Burgman 650 Executive OEM tires
I have owned two Burgman 650s; an '04 (before the Executive) and an '06 Executive. I drove the '04 for 60,102 miles in less than 2 years and I have driven the '06 Executive 68,200 miles in less than 2 years and 2 months. I found that I get 12,000 miles out of a rear tire and 24,000 out of a front tire. I also found that it is ESSENTIAL that you keep proper pressure in the front tire (I go 1 p.s.i. over) or the tire will "cup", which will require early replacement.

Burgman 650
Bridgestone OEM replacement tires Suzuki did it great when they chose to use Bridgestone tires on the Burgman 650. These tires(16,000 miles Rear/36000 miles Front) inspire confident handling in all situations. I did try a different brand, Pirelli's(Good traction, Poor Life Diablo Sport Rear) one time, but changed back after 8000 miles, because I felt they lacked the life & stability offered by the Bridgestone’s.

Time will tell
I haven't had the Bridgestone tire on my Burgman 650 long enough to know how it will last. I burned up 2 Pirelli's rather quickly so am going to try the OEM Bridgestone again, and try like crazy to keep the air pressure up on it to try to get some longer life.

Bridgestone OEM replacement tires
Suzuki got it right when they chose to use Bridgestone tires on the Burgman 650. These tires inspire confident handling in all situations. I did try a different brand at one time, but changed back after only a thousand miles, because I felt they lacked the straight line stability offered by the Bridgestone’s.

burgman 650 executive tire
I ate up 2 of these tires, both of them lasted 15,000 miles each, and then I saw cords. I ride very fast, as if I was on a crotch rocket, but I have over 30,000 miles on the original front tire, and I think that I can get another 5,000 miles out of it! I like the tires, but I wish that the rears lasted longer!
