Bridgestone t30 front tire review
#1
2k miles on it now. Still looking good. Personally, I prefer how it handles over stock. I've had both stock BS and Dunlops on my bike so I can compare.
The t30 is stable at speed, the tread pattern grips well. Sheds h2o well also.
Cornering is excellent, no squirm. So far no feathering or odd wear pattern. I'm preferring it over stock, remains to be seen if it'll last longer than the 4 to 5k I've been getting from the oems.

I might look into throwing one of these on my bike. I'm at 6600 miles on the original rubber (Mine came with Bridgestone BT54 Battlax) and the front probably has another 1500 to 2000 to go, but the BT54 is spooky on grooved pavement thanks to that center ridge in the tread. The rear seems to be made of iron because it looks about the same as when it had 3000 miles on it.

Thanks for the heads up on a different tire to consider. I'd be all over the Michelin PR3 if they made the correct 140 rear tire or even a 150.
