My bike came with BT54's stock. I liked the traction and feedback from the stock tires just fine. The only complaint would be rain groove wiggle from the front tire due to the center open slot in the tread design. I replaced the rear tire last year with another stock BT54, but I decided to try the new T32 on the front because of the great reviews and the fact that is does not have that center open groove. So far I am very impressed with the new tech front tire. On a side note...I experienced something new with the front tire swap. New, different tire noise. Almost a whirling sound coming from the front end. Hard to explain, just different than before. Called my bud who is the most experienced dealer mech/parts dude I know and he told me that new tires of a new tread design can give off a whole new sound when new that slowly goes away as they wear in. I will replace the rear with the matching T32 after the 54 shows some wear.
