I have had these tires for many years (since they came out in 2005) on multiple bikes (cbr600f, yzf600r, cb750, vfr800, gsxr, zzr, zxr, bandit) I have ridden all year, in sun, rain or snow. The grip on them is brilliant. They're not the stickiest of tires but they certainly hold the road nice. They have deep tread into the middle of the tyre unlike many sportier tires, which offers great water dispersion. I have even ridden through a 2ft flood on these tires and the bike stayed on the road, no aquaplaining. They offer great grip on ice and snow (obviously not as good as snow tires) but I have never had them slide out on me.They offer great confidence on cornering in any weather. I trust these tires 100% and I am going to stick with them until they are taken out of ...

I absolutely love these tires! These tires are actually mounted from factory on my FZ-07 and I couldn’t be any happier with the performance. I have rode through the past Fall, Winter, Spring, and now into Summer. I’m telling you, these tires inspire confidence. From riding through freezing temps to NC rainstorms to weekend trips to the Tail of the Dragon, these tires performed very well in all areas.As of now, I have just over 4,300 miles on this set of tires. Tread wear is very even and there is no sign of squaring. I can easily see myself getting 10k+ miles out of these.Wet weather grip is great! Can’t stress that enough. I have been hit with some nasty rains on both interstates and country back-roads. So far, not one single slip of the tires. I can only ... MoreI absolutely love these tires!

I can only recall one instance on a nasty tar snake-ridden highway during some heavy rain where I felt a slight loss of traction but the rear tire did a good job of quickly regaining its grip.As far as cornering goes, they might not be the best but they certainly do an excellent job. Have rode the Tail of the dragon multiple times with these tires (and rather aggressively) and so far no slips! Took my wife out on a ride just last month while we were out there and even she couldn’t believe how much lean we were able to get out of the FZ-07 on those tight curves. Easily kept up with my buddies running track-oriented tires on their 600’s.Highly recommend these tires. I will definitely go with this set once it’s time for me to replace the current pair.

The T32 came stock on my '22 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT and I really like them. They are excellent all-around tires and certainly surpass my riding skills. Great grip in all weather conditions and I expect to get around 6,000 miles out of them, maybe a little more. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is the fact that now at 4,000 miles it is becoming apparent that the front tire will wear out before the rear tire. This is not the only tire that will do that ... there are others, but that is a bit of an issue for me. In the old days you usually changed the front tire out with every other rear tire. Today this no longer seems to be true. But the front wearing out before the rear is not a good scenario for me. I would again mount the T32 for its versatility and performance, ...

I replaced a Conti Road Attack 3 with the Battlax T32 on my Honda ST1300.The RA3 was ridden quite aggressively often at triple digits, pushing thru the twisties or transporting my son around on evening rides together.The Battlax was ridden in the opposite manner, rarely seeing interstate speeds, only me aboard and more sightseeing rides.I got 7452 miles out of the RA3.I got 6820 miles out of the Battlax.I know the ST1300 is a heavy bike especially when riding it more as a sport bike than cruiser but considering how easy the Battlax was ridden I had hoped for substantially more mileage out of it.The Battlax T32 is an ok tire but there are better options available.
These T32 tires replaced the original Bridgestone TrailWing tires on my 6K mile 2014 Suzuki Vstrom1000. I ride sport-touring and have no need for a 90/10 tire. The Bridgestone Battle Wings on on my 2014 Vstrom1000-same sizes as on my 650-are no longer available, so I chose the Bridgestone T32 Sport Touring tire. Smooth, quiet, excellent steering, handling and grip. Everything I had hoped for. When my1000 needs new tires, these T32 tires, or their Bridgestone replacements are going to by my 1st choice.
This tire came standard on my 2019 MT-07. I have put 9700 miles on them over my first year of riding and the only gripe I have is that it started squaring on me slightly at around 6500-7000 miles... I probably used 8000 miles on straight commuting highway roads and the rest (1700mi.) was Twisties on the the weekends or heading out in the back hill country roads in TX that are also semi twisty.The only time I encountered a grip issue/pucker moment was leaving a gas station (with slicker pavement) and rolling on Throttle too fast too early. I had around 8000 miles when that issues happens and squaring of tire is now at about 1 inch.... I maintained tire 33front /36rear psi as recommended by dealer.Tires performed great in rainy situations before 6000 miles ... MoreThis tire came standard on my 2019 MT-07.

Today is Aug 12. 2020 - I researched these BT-023's for a bit before I got them back in 2010. Price was a factor. Also wanted long life on the straight Houston roads with soft grippier sides, but I didn't like how the front was only single compound [the harder long life stuff] which concerned me about low-siding all the time in my head as I rode fast turns. The back end slid out just a lil bit a couple times as i was accelerating a bit while U-turning under an overpass.. These didn't make me feel comfortable on fast curves as I like to ride very aggressive. Had them on my Honda Superhawk VTR1000 which ultimately ended up stolen after only couple K miles on them.FF few years after stolen, Got a CBR1000RR having Michelin Pilot Power 2's with riding about 5-6K miles ...

Now needing new tires, wanted Michelin Pilot Power 2 CT's this time, but since so old of tech and discontinued, I'm getting Battlax S22's after reading good reviews since they're a much newer technology. BUT for anyone riding moderately, these tires will do just fine.
I've spent months trying to find a modern high performing all conditions tire. And these have absolutely changed my life. The amount of safety/comfort/performance these have given the bike is a complete game changer. Plus they have a much higher projected longevity compared to old tech classic tires.
Lot of experience with these ST tires. Loved the line since the BT23. Very predictable grip and decent wear. Would give a 5 but there's always room for improvement. Rear lasts OK if you are not too aggressive on the gas and try to stay in a reasonable speed range.
I've done around 2000 miles on these tyres for a week during a trip to Germany and Austria. They handle excellent on every surface including one of the worst torrential rain I've experienced. The level of surface water was unbelievable but these tyres kept me safe. After 2000 miles they don't show signes of wear yet and I suppose they will last well. My personal experience is very positive so far and I can recommend this tyres. Thanks
