Monday, November 02, 2009 07:25 pm | Has anyone had any experience with the Bridgestone Battlax BT45 tire? Good or bad? I need to replace the front tire on my 2000 model 1500Se with Roadsmith kit. The Michelin Pilots are getting scarce and pricey. |

I have about 12,000 miles on it and it hardly shows any wear. ROB Not here for a long time; just a good time!! Montana Chapter H "Vigilante Wings" |

Tuesday, November 03, 2009 07:33 am | Robert. I ran one on my 1500 Motor Trike for 23000 miles and it still had 3/32 tread remaining with very minor cupping. It was mounted in normal rotation. Darrell Shemwell |

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 07:53 am | I have a Battleax rear tire on the front of my GL1800 2001. Has almost 5,000 miles on it and still looks almost new. The advantage is that it has stiffer sidewalls and the tread is thicker. Say what you may but picked this up on "dardsiders" and tried it and will never use anything different. |
