Average, there are better from Michelin
- Canv from Wet Coast, BCRan thru 3 BT45's before I changed, 2 rear 1 front. While they made an improvement from what I had before I never felt realy sure on the bike. Then I tried a matching pair of Michelin Macadams. Wow, I then knew that the BT45's were OK but not at the level I wanted for cornering ability. The Macadams turn in quick, the Bridge's don't, the Mac's stick, the Bridges squirm.

Excellent bias-ply option
- Joefj1200 from SF bay areaI ran thru a set of these on my FJ1200. I was shocked at how well they gripped. I got about 8k miles on them as i recall. I occasionally pushed the bike much harder than I should have thru the corners (I'm an ex-road racer) and they never let me down. The rear tire is dual compound so they don't square off as fast as most others. They are also well priced - definitely my first choice for older bikes with narrow rims needing bias-ply tires...

zx6rr
- Matt from NevadaMy 600 came with the battlaxs on it. The tires wore out in 2500 miles and never really gave a sense of security in the corners. I ride mildly aggressive as I am a newb to street bikes and still ate these up on the hot nevada pavement.
I would rate this tire a good commute tire but if you are going to ride aggresive look elsewhere.

Pilot Sport
- Andrew from Lebanon, TNI ride a 03 SV1000s, so a sticky tire is pretty important to me. I'm fairly aggressive on the street, using the sides of my tires until my toes/pegs touch down. The pilot gave me 3K from the rear while the front had considerable wear as well. I replaced them both with BTO14 Bridgstones which have been great so far. I do recommend michelin pilot/powers, don't expect a lot of mileage, but be confident that the grip will be there at any street speeds.

decent but lacking
- Scott Corbiser from Martinsburg, WV USAThese tires came OEM on my 2001 Triumph Sprint RS. I got 8k miles out of them I could get another 2k from these bridgestones but they're starting to get a little slippery. They seem to be holding the performance of my bike down even when new. More of a touring tire than performance so I decided to get something different. I can't say I dislike the tires but I know my bike would do better with something sportier.
