Good Mileage / 2012 Wing
I have just over 11,000 on the front and its now down to the wear bars. The front tire wobbles just a little bit and doesn't show any signs of usual cupping. The rear has 5,500 on it and I feel it can go for another 3,000. |

Bridgestone all the way
Bought this set for the first time after a very disappointing run with Dunlap's. Run Deal's Gap and the Devil's triangle in Tennessee and these tires stuck like glue. Run into rain and they stuck to the pavement with no problems. 4000 miles on the tires so far and no problem. They are a really quiet running tire. I'm also running ceramic balancing beads in them. Wing stuff has a great price on these tires. Will definitely buy again. |

I am buying again!
Wrote about these in October of last year. I got 11,283 miles on the rear and have good tread left on the front. Going on a trip into Canada and then thru Montana and Wyoming. Have no hesitation with riding on these tires! I ride very agressively and can say that I see little difference in these 'Stones and the Dunlop E-3'S. I'll put the $100 savings to a good use. |

Bridestone or Nothing
Purchased a new set after 16,823 miles. I figured I would stay with stock. |

Balance mileage against performance
There is a balance between tire mileage and traction. Some people may like the great mileage you get on the Dunlops, but I find that the "stickiness" of the Bridgestones make for such a better ride that I am more than willing to give up tread. I have been doing over 18K a year - so I go through tires - but prefer the safe and solid feel. I have found these to run true (especially when I also add Dynabeads) with no cupping and they really stick to the curves. While traveling last summer I mis-calculated and had to get a tire before I got home. Dealer only had the Dunlop and I hated the ride so much I only put about 2K on it before I replaced the tire. |

Much Better than my old E-3's
I have a 2006 GL1800 and ride a good mix of 2-up and solo. The OEM D250 got me about 8,000 on the rear tire before needing changed. I went to the Dunlop E-3. It was a smooth ride but it started cupping badly at about 7,000 miles and it was replaced at 8,400 miles. My front tire was cupping very badly with the E-3 as well. I've had 2 sets of E-3's and got the same results with both. I watch my tire pressures closely and don't feel that was an issue. Last Fall I went to the new Bridstone. The ride is smoother, the traction is way better - I go through curves like I'm glued to the road and the best thing so far is that the GL1800 front end wobble when decelerating is gone. So far no cupping either. It's just a much better tire for the GL1800 in my opinion. My best friend replaced his E-3's on his 2008 GL1800 and has almost the same exact findings - no wobble, no cupping and better traction. |

Bridgestone vs. Dunlop E-3
I run a 2008 with E-3's. My brother runs a 2012 with the Bridgestones shown here. We were comparing wear yesterday, brother has 8,000 miles on his bike, (mostly without a passenger) He needs a new rear tire now-- center three inces is flat and slick. His front tire shows little wear. My E-3's have 13,000 on them now, mostly two up riding, and I'm certain to make it to 18,000. My rear tire won't be in nearly as bad condition(maybe inch center flat) as the stones are already with only 8K. We both do good tire maintenance and ride about the same way and on the same trips. I will definitely be replacing by dunlops with dunlops. Yes, they make a little noise, but that's the only negative and it's not significant enought for me to give up that kind of mileage. |

great deaL
Was running the e3s and did not like the feel as well as they cupped real bad.I decided to try these and wow these stick to the road a lot better,they take a little getting used to with the tar snakes but the ride and the cornering are much better. |

Good Deal
I used to run Dunlop E3's. But since Honda moved production of the Goldwing back to Japan this is the OEM tire now, and the price for the combo is a Sweet Deal. Ran a set of these last year and I have 12,000 miles on them now so I just ordered a new Combo set for the Summer. |

WAAAY better than the E3s.
I bought these a few months ago and wanted to put some miles on them before I wrote my review. I have done so and I have to say that these are a SIGNIFICANT upgrade from the OEM E3s. I got about 10k on my E3s before the center rear was just worn to the threads. I always keep my tire pressure up (I prefer to run 40F/42R) and even still, the cupping on the E3 was horrid. I now have about 4k on the Bridgestones and they are holding up marvelously. There is still a little cupping, but that is normal for any tire with the stock suspension and it is truly minimal, but then again, I am a pretty aggressive rider and demand quite a bit from my tires. The grip is fantastic and they are very confidence inspiring. As far as road noise goes, they are very quiet while on the center, but they do hum a bit while leaning. Wet traction is excellent. Dry traction is what you would expect from a 'stone. Shortly after break in, I took them up to US-129, known by many as the "Tail of the Dragon" and they were flawless peg to peg. BOTTOM LINE: I will never go back to the Dunlops, which slipped out from under me one day while turning on a wet patch of an intersection, and have regained all confidence in heavy bike tires with these Bridgestones. They are a quiet and comfortable ride with more than adequate grip, even wear, and good durability. Unless they perfect the hoverbike, this will be my next set of tires as well. |

Tires
These tires that I bought might be good or bad I have a 2012 Goldwing with 10,000 and after new tires installed I have a low speed front tire wobble Honda shop balance again said its the front tire.I love Bridgestones Tires and never had a low speed wobble before even with worn down tires but I dont what to do because I bought online tires and if would have bought honda dealer tires a new one would been installed with out any problems already (Honda Shop stated this).I love Wing Stuff but this makes rethink buy tires online. |
