It's a great sport touring tire and have 8k miles on my FJR and could probably squeeze another thousand out of them. I might have 500 miles on the T32's on the CB. I wouldn't be surprised if I got over 10k miles on those tires on the CB, as its a tame bike with not a whole of power to really eat up tires.
Did you ever try the Michelin PR3 tires on your CB that everybody here was using for a long while? If so, How do you feel about the T32's by comparison in terms of stickiness, handling, wet performance ect.
No, haven't ran the PR3 on any bike that I've owned.
However, being that the CB is NOT a sportbike, just about any radial tire is more than adequate for any riding style. Sure, tire temperature and road conditions play a part, but folks seem to think they can outperform a tire... on the street.
Wet performance is great on the tire.... experienced many wet miles on the T32's on my FJR. I don't ride the CB much.... but the tires are nice and round... no flat spots so its nice.
I wouldn't quite say that. Adequate is one thing but certain tires are much more confdence inspiring side to side than others. for example, the stock bridgestones that come with our bike felt hard and unstable to me. dropping into a turn felt shakey. I wanted to hold back significantly because I never quite felt like i knew exactly what they were going to do. With some other other tires i've tried on our bike, however, the feeling at higher lean angles is far more stable. That's as much to do with tire profile and contact patch as it is compound. I'm just trying to figure out if the T32's are as confidence inspiring as some of the better tires that go on our bike.
