Yes, I know another tyre question
« on: 06 September 2017, 03:23:29 pm »
Hi,

Does anybody has experience wtih the Bridgstone batlax T30 evo on the fazer.
My front is one and it seems to be a pretty steady tire. so no I'm thinking to put the same on the rear.
Thanks
Makke

Had the t30's on my 600 all last season and half of this year's, can't really fault them in the dry , great fun in the corners because the tread pattern stops early so the edge parts are pretty much slicks lol , just changed to pr3's and really enjoying them now and there amazing in the wet where as I found the t30s struggle in the wet .

PR3's - end of message.

Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

Had a T30 on the rear only, can't really say i've had any issues at all in the rain, but i probably don't chuck it about like some people, although i do need a very good wet tyre and can say i have full confidence in it.
From references alone, i will be considering PR3's as my next experiment.
Not heard a bad word yet.

I've got a PR3 on the back and it's a big improvement on the BT 21 I had on previous, the back end feels less twitchy under heavy braking. The BT 23 on the front is starting to square off, i'll stick with the pr3s if i get the chance when I renew.

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

I have the BT23 on the front, and have been more than happy with that as well.
When new i particularly liked what seemed like a much deeper tread than other tyres, and it has worn really evenly plus been totally reliable too in the rain.
I've never really bought tyres as a pair and always tried by recommendation and can say that the front BT23 & rear T30 combination has suited me perfectly, and for a long duration as well, with plenty of life left in both yet.

I have at the moment the PP3 on rear, it's a great tyre as dry or in rain. Due to flat tire on a trip and no PP3 avaible. The T30evo was
mounted. I didn't know this there my question. On the Brigestone site they say it's a great tire rain and on dry.
But I'm looking for people who really used it and winter is comming and I'm an all year driver. So he more info I get the better
Thanks for replys.
