Bridgestone Battlax BT46 - Great Tires!

Bridgestone Battlax BT46 130/90-16 67H Rear Motorcycle (11635)

Bridgestone Battlax BT46 100/90-16 54H Front Motorcycle (12325)

Purchased from: American Moto Tire

I have about 2000 miles on them so far and really am enjoying them. The BT46s corner really well and allow a nice confident lean. Chicken stripes all the way to the edge

Perfectly stable on the highway, no problems so far with rough paved or dirt roads, tar snakes or grooved pavement.

I have not rode them yet in rain but will report back when I do.

*mounting note:
Front slips right on, rear was a bit more challenging to fully seat, inflating / deflating did the trick. Easy to balance, Bridgestone tire heavy mark is yellow.

Valve Stems: BikeMaster 90 Degree Valve Stems
Item: P275349 (Revzilla)

*Previous Tire: (2 sets) Shinko SR 740 / 741 Touring Tires
---BT46S....very big step up in comfort and handling, Sinkos are not a bad tire in any way but my first few rides on the BT46 made me feel like Rossi.

Riding Style: County roads, twisties, mountains, highway, touring with gear

Bike Suspension: Ex300 rear shock, sonic springs front .86 oil @ 130m. Maxima 15WT

Tire Pressure: BT46 cold max psi: F42 R41
Apex Hunting: F28 R32
Daily: F30 R34
Touring with Gear: F32 R36
