Bridgestone Tire COMBO for GL1800 G704/G709
ITEM CODE: WSBRCOMBO, SKU: WSBRCOMBO

Best Tire so Far
I have always believed in keeping my options open; especially where technology is continuously providing us with improvement. Bridgestone Motorcycle tires, both the G704 & G709 for the Goldwing fit this description of improvement. I ride a 2003 Candy Red Wing and now have just over 100k miles on the bike. I started with a different brand that starts with a "D" and had all kinds of tire related problems thru the first twenty four thousand miles; fist two sets of tires. A dealer of mine talked me in to trying the Bridgestone tires and I have never looked back or been sorry! Before trying the tires I made the move to replace the triple tree head bearings on my ride with the all balls ball bearings; this improved the feed back and enhanced the rode feel, but did nothing for the shimmy and tire cupping problems experienced with the "D III" brand. After swapping to this tire combo I am pleased to say the 75k plus thousand miles have been a joy and I have never been more pleased with a motorcycle in my life. Fifth Goldwing owned since 1987 and the longest I have every owned any motorcycle. I feel mostly due to the tires at this point, not taking anything away from and awesome bike. |

These are the best tires I have come across for the Goldwing 1800. I went thru the first 24k miles on two sets of D250 Dunlops and the next 12K on the E3 Elites. No front end wobble until I put the E3's on the bike. The E3's were a big pain in the backside; I couldn't take my hands off the handlebars and had to be very vigilant the whole time I was riding. Dunlop can do a lot better than the E3's. So far I have 1.4k miles on the new ME880 Metzelers and it seems they have worked magic. The stem bearings that needed attention or replaced have fixed themselves; read NO wobble. These tires have good grip in wet weather as well as dry. Let you know on the mileage factor in 10k miles. For my money they are the cats meow for now. |
