    You never know what you have until it's gone. After using Bridgestones for 5 years I searched reviews, various price sites, read motoring articles and eventually tried Michellins Pilot Sport - what a bad descision that was. I have now gone back to the Bridgestone BT56 as my rear tyre and immediately felt the difference.
    It held in the wet, cornered like it was on rails and lasted for 12,741 miles (admittedly I should have changed it 100 miles back), but it genuinely did 12 thousand miles with no loss of grip and still holding the road in torrential rain and hailstone as I ride all year round.
    The experience I had on the Michellins made me realise just what I had and had gotten used to. I spent the whole time on the Mich's with a twitching ar*e, certain they were not gonna hold or grip the road when I braked.
    With lesson learned, I am back throwing the bike around the corners with no fear of loosing it. When it finally wore out I had no qualms about spending the £100 for a new one, after all I figure my life is worth a damn site more than that.

    Came stock on my 07' honda 919. Maybe its the weight of the bike approx. 450lbs, after 4,400 miles numerous tread appeared in the center from normal wear and tear with a 4 hour trip on I-5 90mph+ Maybe that did it? Tires are not to be trusted with grip and when under tension. I do not recommend, spend the extra buck for something else.

    I have a new pair of Bridgestone BT56 on my Aprilia RS 250 and in damp and wet conditions the rear tyre has spun in hard acceleration in second gear. i dont think that this is good even for a 250 but maybe I did not have them warm enough even after 10 minutes of pushing them a little bit. that has completely shot my confidence with them but maybe this has become more of a mental problem as I did not think that a 250 would have the power for this.
    Mental state I feel has a lot to do with bike ri ...

    The Bridgestone BT56 tires are stock on my Honda 599. I don't have a lot of miles on them yet, but like them fine so far. Overall, they offer good ride and drive qualities and respond predictably when pushed. The only negative that I have uncovered so far is a slightly weird, light feeling when sweeping across on centre when performing transient manuevers from one side to another quickly. Other than that, good tire for now.

    These are the tyres that came fitted to my Suzuki Hayabusa. I've been using them for 4 months now on a daily commute of 40 miles each way, and of course at weekends for longer trips. They are fairly good in all conditions and don't let the rear spin out unless you're doing so intentionally. Turn in is good, the bike seems to want to lean, particularly at low speeds, and braking is spot on. However, the do cool down quickly and so at sustained low speeds in traffic or in bad weather the bike feel ...
