Bridgestone Battlax T30 Review

[lola_imp]

Good review. Interesting as my Michelins will die soon. Wonder if the T30s are available in Oz.

Cheers, and thanks

Your welcome! If not I think revzilla sells & ships worldwide.

Django,
None taken for a 160 tire I have about 1/4 inch left of unused tire and felt that going even further would be sketchy on public road. Do you feel the tire is stiff on your bmw?

Not at all. The T30 was just very neutral on my BMW K1100RS.

However this K had front 120/70 ZR 17 and rear 160/60 ZR 18 and about 30 kg more mass than the CB. There is a link in my signature to a picture of my K. Unforunatly it died last autumn after 21 years and only 127,000 km and now I ride the CB.

May be, you experienced this stiffness coming from 140 to 160 at the rear wheel?

I think your right a bout the wider profile of the rear tire. Thank you for your feedback!
