Not the best tire
In reading the reviews on these tires I am perplexed. These tires came as OEM on my 2012 Wing. The first thing I noticed was some steering wobble at lower speeds in the front at about 3k miles. I have a fork brace but it does not help the wobble. The second thing I noticed was a "whirring" type noise at 5k miles when leaning the bike left or right. At first I did not know where the whirring noise was coming from and read online that it could be the rear tire. The online blogs and my suspicion was confirmed today. I recently got a flat on the Blue Ridge Parkway from a large puncture in the rear tire. I had the rear tire replaced today with a new Bridgestone and the whirring noise is gone but I am sure it will be a matter of time before the noise returns. These tires are ok when they have low mileage and seem to handle well in the rain but my next set will not be these Bridgestone's that's for sure. |

Back to the OEM tires!
My 2003 Goldwing had Dunlop E3's and they were good but I find having these Bridgestone's to be more comfortable and relaxed on tight corners and in the rain. I am taking into account also that I got my E3's new and now I am comparing them to these Bridgestone's. I must also point out that I have Centramatic wheel discs (had them on the E3's first) and I am sure they account for the smoothness (i.e. no difference between the E3's and these tires). By the way, the price was much less than any other retailer and WingStuff, as usual, had them delivered in record time. After 3,000 miles on these new tires, they still show the rubber nubs not fully worn down and tire life will be interesting to monitor. A dealer refused to install my supplied tires here so I will never be going to buy anything from them. Make sure you have a motorcycle dealer who will mount your tires. I found it easier to bring the 2 rims and tires to the dealer. |

delivery is really quick
Just got the pair delivered via UPS. I can't rate the tires yet as they have just been received. But I can tell you the delivery time was extremely fast. I ordered them yesterday morning and they were waiting for me when I got home the next day. |

Bridgestone tires
Very good tire, since the change of Dunlop Elite 3 to Bridgestone, it's great, good grip on the road, especially in the corners, a well smooth to drive the motorcycle tire, the truth is spectacular, congratulations to Bridgestone from the country Panama. |

1st set, hope they last
I just had my first set of these put on, I had some E3's took off, and to be fair, they were very good tires, but also a bit more $. I ordered these from Wingstuff, and they were here so fast I thought they were sent thru a "transporter"....haha. I liked the free shipping to!!! The ride home today with these new tires on was very good, I forgot how the bike rolls so nice, and the handling around corners was Great, I'll report what kind of mileage I get, but so far, with 60 miles on them, Im a happy guy. |

3rd Set
Great tires. I safely get 18-19K miles out of each set. The Wing handles great with them and seems to stick to wet and dry pavement better with these tires, certainly better than with the E3s. |

Had tires mounted and balanced yesterday and the ride home was much better than the Dunlops, even new. Taking a ride this weekend and will see how they do on two-lane roads. Fast AND free delivery!! Wow!! Ordered just after noon on Wednesday, tires were at front door @ 11:50am on Friday. Thanks WingStuff! |

Fast delivery my sss
Ordered on a Wednesday, should have a Friday delivery but UPS claims that all They were given was the paper work. Here it is Saturday , 86 degrees out, sunny & my wife and I are stuck at home. This will be my second set at two years the rear tire had a belt break creating a bulge , lucky it did not blow. They wore better than Avon's or the E3's.Wing stuff customer service kinda blew my off, would not investigate my problem. |

New Bike Feel
Ordered these on a Wednesday afternoon got them in only 48 hours. Saturday late afternoon I was ridding high with a bug catching grin from ear to ear. Picking out the right tires is about as hard as finding the right shoes with the added stress of only having one set that you'll be stuck with for a long time. Thanks to all the good people here and WingStuff for all their help in choosing what I think are the best tires for my '02 Wing. I went from Metzler in the rear and Dunlop in the front that were literally worse for wear and MAN! its like having a brand new bike, I guess; I'm fairly new to the Gold Wing and have only put about 4K of the 77K on mine. Now I've just been getting up early to take the long way to work. They ride like glass but stick like glue. Slow corners are now tolerable and bumps are non-existent. If Honda says their good and you own a Honda then I would say at least you can't blame the shoe salesman. |

STICK TO OEM TYRES
Had the Exedra's on when I bought the wing and to be fair I had no complaint's. You know how it is when you get something new you get on the forums checking what other people think and so when it came time to change the tyres I went for Avon Cobra's. Well over the course of around 4.5k the rear of the bike developed a humming noise when cornering. I checked the rear Tyre and the cupping was horrendous which was what all the noise was about. The Bridgestone Exedra was developed just for the wing. so If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. I'll be runing Exedra's from now on. |

Wow!
I forgot what the bike felt like when it was new, but these put the biggest smile on my face after riding less than a block from where I had them installed. I couldn't believe the ride and comfort they provided. No more wobble and corning is fantastic! Can't wait to take the bike out on a few long rides this summer. |
