Bridgestone tire rebate
I would have to say Bridgestone rebate is the biggest disappointment ever. I ordered my tires combo from Wingstuff because of a so call rebate that Wingstuff was advertising for Bridgestone. Sent in my rebate and I was told I am not going to get the $50.00 rebate because I didn't have a receipt that they were installed by a dealer. The person I spoke to at Bridgestone rebate didn't really care about the customer at all. The person at Bridgestone I spoke to said we have this wrote at the bottom of the rebate form wrote real small. I think they do this so they don't have to pay out the $50.00. I asked the person if I could have my tires installed by a dealer which was after 7/4/2016 and the person from Bridgestone said I was to late to do that. If it would not have of took Bridgestone rebate email three weeks to respond to my rebate, I possibly could of had the tire mounted by a dealer. The Bridgestone rebate person didn't care if you bought Bridgestone tires ever. I am writing about my experience with Bridgestone so maybe the next person purchasing tires from Wingstuff don't get screwed like I did. |

Great tires for the price
I have the TPMS to help me keep the tire pressure around 41 on the rear and around 40 on the front. I got 14,000 miles on the factory set and 14,000 miles on the second set. When the price went to 329 for the Bridgestone set, I thought I would try the more expensive Elite 3 set for a few more dollars thinking I would either get a better ride or more mileage. I was wrong. As early as 3,000 miles I was seeing cupping on the left and right side of the front tire. At 12,000 miles on the Elite 3 set, I had to replace the front and rear due to significant cupping (when leaning, my wife and I would hear a whining noise). At that time (about 40,000 miles on my bike), I went back to the Bridgestone tires and currently have about 12,000 miles on this set. Today, with the fathers day special, I just bought another set of Bridgestone tires since I anticipate having to replace them within a couple thousand miles. (Consistently getting about 14,000 miles per set) I saw another review by someone regarding tar road repair strips being slippery and agree that if you are riding in the Houston heat like we do from time to time (with cooling vests), those tar strips are slippery but I do not think any tire will make a difference since the tar is starting to melt at those temperatures. (I try to avoid the tar strips on the road.) |

Very loose on hot tar
This was my second set of these tires. The tar strips that they patch road cracks with give you a little wiggle when crossing, so you try to avoid them. I came across a large patch of this tar on a hot day and the rain just went thru, these tires acted like they were on ice. My 02 GL1800 went sideways and was totaled. |

Factory Equipped 2013 F6B Tires
I have reached the 12K mark for my stock Bridgestone Tires. They have been ok tires, grip well in the corners, and get decent mileage out of them. But I have two complaints, 1) starting at 3K miles on the front tire, when I lean over in a turn, the tire whines, the more I lean the louder it whines. 2) The front tire has a center line down the middle of the tire, that causes the front of the Bike to wobble when riding on rain grooves on the freeway. The back tire has been good, no complaints at all, but at 12K miles, I notice the rear tire is not round, has the dreaded flat ring down the middle of the tire. I am putting my F6B into the shop this weekend, having some Dunlop Elite 3 Radials installed, which will take care of the rain groove problem. |

Trouble with front tire- less than 1000 miles
I ordered the Bridge stone combo 2-2015 I mounted them in March 2015 It rained for months so I didn't ride much last year. Yesterday 5-29-2016 I decide to ride for the first time this year. I checked tire pressure because it's sat in the shop all winter,I rode about 25 miles and it began feeling odd so I limped in to the BP station in Topeka KS. on Gage and I470. Got change from the attendant for the air compressor my tire was low. Filled the tire to 41 lbs and the attendant came out while I was filling it. He leans over, says the tire is misshaped right here. And it BLOWS UP. He wasn't hurt thank God. I'm buying new Dunlops today 5-30-2016 won't buy anymore Bridgestone tires this is the second set I've had problems with. Bill Sherry from Kansas. |

2nd Front and 3rd Rear
Absolutely love these for the twisties. Got 17000 KM before my first rear change (included a run form Van BC to Madison, Toronto and back across Canada)and at that time the front was still good. Pulled a trailer on the second long run to Reno and through the canyons. BIG MISTAKE, this is a top notch twisty tire but softer compound, trailer and USA hot concrete spells a max of 7000KM. Ouch!! But I doubt there is a tire rated for pullin' a trailer. |

Bridge stone tires
Got about 13,000 miles out of them. They didn't feel as smooth as the other tires I've tried. Just gave a stiffer ride, didn't feel that they gripped the road as well. Just felt like a harder tire. I ride two up conservatively, check air pressure regularly. I'm going back to Metzlers they seem to suit me best. Got a set of Marathon 888's this time. Only got about 400 miles on them, but wow. My wife even commented on how much quieter and smoother the ride was. |

On my second set as well
adding to what Nick just said, I am on my second set as well I pretty much got the same mileage on the first one. It actually does the job on tight 18 feet U-turn on wet pavement. It track and ride really well on high speed freeway ramp lean in the wet pavement as well. A good chance of a third set will be the next tire, but the Dunlap Elite will be out next month. I would like to see the short and long term review on it. I suppose to have long life span and I thought it was few bucks cheaper or not the same as this Bridgestone. an open mindset for these two fine tire brand they are well designed for the Goldwing motorbike. I want to ride up to Purdue bay in Alaska next year and I am hoping the new Dunlap has good experience review. Safe Riding my friends! |

Nice
This is my second set of these tires for me.First set I got 19,000 miles on them. It is a great price a good tire in the rain I like them, if there was a down for me when they started to wear down they started to cup and made noise when leaning into the curves and that started at about 15,000 miles so this is just a little nick picking on myy part. All in all a very good tire only tire I found better that I like was the Dunlop elite 3 but for a lot more money. |
