Just fitted BT46 to the EX250F (2004) in the same size as the original poster. I wasn't mad about putting scooter tyres on and neither was the dealer so went for the full M/C tyre.

These replaced 10 year old Pirelli MT-75's which gave the bike great handling but they did suffer with white lines etc. You can't blame them at that age though.

I'm a Bridgestone fan but at this early stage they make the bike slightly more ponderous compared to the Pirelli. Nothing terrible and another couple of days on the bike and I am sure I will of got perfectly used to them. They cope well with road imperfections though.

I possible need to play with the tyre pressures. Stock is 29/33 PSI, I should experiment up to the more usual 36/42 PSI.
