I put these tires on my bike and it's like new. The old tires (Dunlop E3's) were good, I didn't have a problem with them but they were a little square after 10,000+ miles so I decided to try another brand of tire. If I can get the same 10-15k miles out of these tires I will probably buy them again. The combination of these with dyna beads makes the ride as smooth as glass. |

These tires grip the road MUCH better than the original Dunlaps that came on my 09 wing. I put 16,000 miles on the Dunlaps before switching to the Bridgestones. Upon riding with the Bridgestones for the 1st time, it felt like a new bike. Felt solid/ stable on road and especially in the curves etc. Have not ridden in the rain yet but I suspect they will be A ok. The original Dunlaps made me feel like I was going to go down in the rain. I do not mind getting wet, just do not want to go down and eat pavement. I probably will not get 16,000 out of the Bridgestones because they are softer. To me that’s a better trade off (Staying upright). I bought the Bridgestones from Wingstuff dirt cheap, especially since they ran a sale with 10% coupon code a while back. They sat in my garage until I maxed the Dunlaps out down to the wear markers. |

Kudos to Bridgestone and goodbye wobble! 9300 miles of superb handling wet and dry twistie roads. Very quiet even close to the wear limits. I've tried Dunflops, and Avons. Neither comes close to the performance of this tire!. Just ordered another one. |

The Bridgestone tires are great. Switched from original Dunlops to these and noticed a significant change in cornering. With the Dunlops, the bike seemed to want to straighten itself all the time when cornering whereas the Bridgestones does what you want it to do and stays in the cornering mode until it's time to straighten up. With these tires, you can't wait for the corners and winding roads. I give the tires a 5+ star rating but only a 3 star to Wingstuff because they sent me a 2 year old tire which means I can only get 1 year out of them due to laws in Dubai making it mandatory to change tires that are older than 3 yrs old. I complained but did not receive a response from Wingstuff. |

2nd entry... Now with over 10,000 miles and many miles left to go, I am even more impressed. These are my 8th set of tires on my 05. By far the best tires I've ever had. Whether it is one of our local curves or hammering through the Tail of the Dragon, I am amazed how smooth and how they grip and handle. The Bridgestones radials and the Centramtics are a great combination. Thanks again Rick for another great recommendation! |

This is a follow up on the higher profile 70 rear tyre. I've had the chance to do some high speed work hard cornering at 70 to 90 mph and straight line to 115 mph. Excellent grip as with the 60 but better clearance. Only grounded my footpegs but there were a few corners where I most definitely would have scraped the under fairing or mufflers as I have done before on these rides with the 60 profile tyre. The penalty is a "squidgy" feel. Slightly more weave both cornering and at high speed but very predictable and all well within control. For the huge benefit in cornering clearance, I'll be sticking with the 70 series. |

This is a comment on the front tyres which are only available in the one profile. Firstly, I think that they have superb wet and dry grip and I like the centre groove for wet riding. The 5 stars are for grip, stability and tracking which I prize more than wear. For interest, I ran the first set using Goldwing "lore" at 41 psi and got 11,000 miles. I ran the replacement at 36 psi as per Honda as it allegedly gives better grip- not that they need it, but I though "why not". At 5,000 miles (!!) they have the same tread depth as the 41 psi set had at 11,000- ie just above legal. Admittedly the second tyre was ridden a little harder, but not THAT much. |

I have used two sets of the standard 60 profile tyre and have now fitted the higher profile 70 series. The bike is much easier to put on the centre stand and sits significantly higher. The measured difference in height between my worn-to-legal limit 60 series and the new 70 series was slightly more than 2". Along a well known twisty road full of 20 to 35 mph corners I found I could add around 3 to 5 mph to my cornering speeds and still touched down the undersides a bit less than usual. The tyre does feel a bit more flexible, I thought it was just my imagination but it really does. May impact tracking at very high cornering speeds but so far the grip is just as good and I love the ground clearance. |

super grip tires and have held up so far for 2000km . I find them much quieter than the elite3's which cupped within 4000km front and 8000km rear . if you like to corner the 1800 then you will love these tires ......smooth riding , quiet even in the corners ... |

In my humble opinion. These are the best tires for the Goldwing. Unbelievable handling difference from the Dunlops. The Dunlops will get you more mileage but they cup. The centerline hard rubber on the Bridgestones seems to prevent this and gives you a greater performance ride. I have 10k and never had a problem. |

4 Stars for tread life 3 Stars for tire quality The tires that came with my 2006 GW when I bought it new really sucked, and I hung on to them as long as I could. But I replaced them after only 9k miles when the front tire became so cupped it felt unsafe when leaning on curves. I replaced both of them with the Bridgestones and was quite pleased until this past weekend while on a long ride I developed a wobble. It turned out to be a bulge on the side of the rear tire. I only had about 9k miles and the tread on both the front and rear stilled looked good. I replaced the rear with another Bridgstone because I didn’t want to replace both the front and rear with another brand. The Bridgestones really do give a very smooth ride and I am hoping that this tire will last a little longer than the last one. |

Still hanging in there with the 60's on my 06 wing. Had a problem with the 70 on the back. The 70 did real good up to about 2500 miles then started to wobble, and I don't know why. Wingstuff took care of me though we had to wait for the adjustment on the tire about 2 months (adjusters very slow). I do like the way they take care of postage when you do have a warranty issue and have to send the tire back. Wingstuff came through again for me. I do believe the gold wing front end gives problems to tires holding up though. Seems like Honda could do alot better on the front ends, maybe we are expecting too much out of a motorcycle company with all the gadgets and do-dads we want on our rides. |
