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, ... MoreThe T32 came stock on my '22 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT and I really like them.

The minute I rolled out on the Battlax tires I could feel the difference even though the first 100 yds was gravel. Once on the pavement it was a different bike. Smoothness, isolated road noise and feel through the bike were improved noticeably over the old worn-out tires. As close to I could get to a new bike without buying one! Hoping the mileage from the tires is as satisfying as the feel.-m-1991 HONDA ST1100--

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.
Replaced a set of T31s with the new T32s and there are some substantial differences between the two. The 31s were more stable at high speed - with the 32s there’s a slight shimmy in the bars around 130kph, nothing alarming, just a bit confidence sapping at first. It seems to be less of an issue as I put more Km’s on them, maybe I’m just getting used to it. Also the rear profile is much shallower than the previous models. I’ve worn them right to the edge even on their maiden voyage. But that tells you how grippy they feel right away, there’s virtually no break in period. They warm up amazingly fast, and are great under heavy braking. Got caught in some heavy rain and they performed as advertised - the grip felt just as good as a dry road! Time will tell if they wear ... MoreReplaced a set of T31s with the new T32s and there are some substantial differences between the two.

They warm up amazingly fast, and are great under heavy braking. Got caught in some heavy rain and they performed as advertised - the grip felt just as good as a dry road! Time will tell if they wear any better than the 31s (the front tire cupped pretty badly, but the rear was not too square). All in all, an ok tire, but curious how they compare to the Michelins.
Put these on for a 2800 mile trip. of a lot of fast riding and sharp fun canyons Kept 42 psi in the Tire. This tire feels hard. I was disappointed at how Little Room I had to corner with the tire. Meaning I went all the way to the edge of the tire. I do have small floor boards as my pegs, but I do not have any chicken strips, Meaning I went all the way to the edge of the tire several times. Granted this trip was fast aggressive riding in the turns. I don't scrape the pegs (that's bad) but I have my outside arm extended and my head over my inside mirror. Max speed on straights several times over 100 mph. or Maxing our the bike. I don't want to say what that speed is....Tire does have a harder rubber feel to it. I will not buy this again.Didn't do too bad on the ... MorePut these on for a 2800 mile trip. of a lot of fast riding and sharp fun canyons Kept 42 psi in the Tire. This tire feels hard.

So far so good. I've had this tire for about 1K miles with no complaints. Good grip, excellent cornering. I can't comment on traction on wet pavement as it doesn't rain much in Southern California. Only suggestion for FJR owners is that the recommended pressure by the manufacturer of 36PSI Front is too low for a heavy bike like the FJR. My previous tire, Battlax T31 cupped with only 4K miles with plenty of tread left. From day one I kept the recommended pressure of 36PSI. This time I'm going with 40PSI F & 42 R. As far as tread life i think it's too soon to rate but overall seems like it will last. Well my previous tire was a Battlax T31 Non GT, at 4K miles my guess is that it had another 4K Miles of life left.
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.
My 2020 FJR came stock with the Battalax T23's and they stuck to the road in rain. Bridgestone developed the T32's for improved water removal. The T32 GT's were designed for the bigger sport touring bikes like the FJR according to an engineer that I spoke with at Bridgestone. I bought this GT front tire after the regular T32 front tire showed signs of cupping after only 2k miles. The regular T32 rear tire has demonstrated great wear so far with about 2500 miles on it, but will upgrade to the GT in the next couple months. I expect to get 6-8k miles or more out of the GT's compared to the 7k miles that I got out of the T23's. Hope this helps! Safe travels!
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.
