Bridgestone T30 rear

Put on a new T30 rear on my Tiger and so far so good, only have 50 miles on so far but it felt great.

It is a Bridgestone BW501 with a few miles left to go, will be putting a T30 on the front when this one wears out. Doesn't seem to affect the handling but need to put on a few more miles to really tell.

I'm split between the T30's and PR2's. Prob will go with PR2's until I see enough milage reports for the T30.

Is that BW501 a 19 inch tire and if so does B-Stone make the T-30 in a 19 inch?

Edit: Answered my own question.. 110/80 ZR 19 BRIDGESTONE T30

That was the first thing I checked just to make sure I could find a matching front. Must mean adventure bikes are the "in" thing now, ha ha
When we riding again, not this week I hope, as the weather here is crappy and cold with lots of wind and possibility of snow, burrrrrrrr.
Saturday may be OK, have to wait and see, fingers crossed:thumbup:

Saturday may be the day. I think Bryan said he might be open on Sat...

Jerry, any follow up to this tire? I just ordered a set for my S-10.

I just put a t30 on my front 2 weeks ago...it felt a bit odd at first but that was because of residue from mounting it...sprayed it off and it only took like 20 miles before i could lean it with alot of confidence...

I've only managed a little over a 1000 miles but so far I really like the way it handles and the ride is nice. Will probably put the front on before the July trip.

LOL, I was in the ZONE, zoom zoom. Only get one of those zones per ride and that was it!!!! Ha Ha

Only have about 1800 miles on so far so hard to tell about longevity.

I dun got 'bout 4,200 mi. so far (On mah FJR) and they seem to be wearing just fine. :thumbup:

Front


Rear


At $224 delivered to mah compound from American Motorcycle Tire the price iz right too. :cheer:
They do feel a little odd; they steer a slower than the PRIIs, (I think the front is a larger diameter? ) so ya might wanta try sliding the forks up in the tubes. (I had to remove the internal spacers, and cut 'em down 3/8") Butt I got the bike dialed in now. They have plenty of grip, (Prolly mor than PRIIs) and are very stable 'n neutral whilst banked over. :rockon:
I plan on getting another set for the FZ to replace the PRIIs when they wear out. Hell, at that price, I should fill mah garage with 'em!

Update- Here they are at 5892 after the 1300 mile ride to San Carlos, did ride a bit of slab but they shouldn't have wore this far. Always checked the psi and kept it at 38 and I don't do burn outs and wheelies. Mostly ride twisties with a little slab just to get to the twisties.
So I can't recommend these as I got better mileage from the BT023's.
