Bridgestone Battlax T32 are stock tires that are mounted on the Yamaha Tracer 9. After more than a year on the road riding on different roads and in different riding conditions and more than 12.000 km (7.500 miles) I decided to make a review. What the video to hear my experience and my thought on these tires. Bridgestone Battlax T32 review.

Thanks for the information. Performance in the wet is quite important for me. My new tyres are Michelin Road 6. I'll do a video once I've had the chance to ride them for some distance, but the day after i fitted them i went out on teisty roads, it was very wet with floods and standing water, and they were excellent even brand new.

I see. In Slovenia we don't have so many rainy days. I mean... it rains, but mostly in late autumn and spring. If I can, I avoid riding in the rain. Sometimes it is just impossible. Thanks for the comment bro, will consider the Road 6 as my next tires. :)

I usually rock sport touring tires as well these days. However i usially rock the Michelin Pilot Road GT Tires. I think there up to #6 now.

Great video Gregor, I'm also happy with the stock tires , the rear one has been replaced by the insurance company, but the front one has already 7500 km on it and maybe will last up to 10k maybe... depends on my riding. everyone is changing with Michelin Road 6 for not much more.

I heard about the Road 6, but I am happy also with the T32. You have some more km to cover with the front. :)

I didn't like Road 5 because it had little grip. Constantly experiencing wheel spin. Switched to S22 for very good grip. On my 5th set of S22

I've had those tyres on my MT10. I would rate them as excellent. There's not a lot between these and the Road 5 or 6s.

@Banditmanuk 2 ай бұрын

I think in 40 + years of riding, I've experienced more wet riding than many people. Don't film in the rain and I don't choose to ride in the rain for a fun day out.

@@Banditmanuk good point. Ho did you find the T32 in the wet, then?

@Banditmanuk 2 ай бұрын

@NooBiker think I explained it in my review which I think you commented on. No scary moments. It of course, completely depends on how hard you push on. I would be happy on those or the Road 5 or 6. Which is the best in the wet? You would need to ask someone prepared to push on harder in the corners in the wet than me.

I just purchased Tracer 9 GT+. What would be your tire choice for someone riding with many rainy days or bad roads in a hot tropical country?

@RRRRefuelRideRace Ай бұрын

If you need to cover a lot of km/miles I would go for the GT tires. You have the possibility to pick the Bridgestone like me, then the Pirelli or even Metzeler. Some go also for Michelin or Dunlop. I had Dunlop Roadsmart, but I see that the T32 Battlax GT are better. You can check my mounting video and subscribe if you feel so. Thanks a lot bro. Appreciate it. Cheers.

2 sets per year is about right I usually get about 5K Mike's per set.

I see. You cover quite a lot per year. In my case one set is enough, if they go more then 12.000 km. 😀

Hi Gregor they seem to last well it’s a bit strange how the front is worn more than the rear most bikers say the rear wears first. What tyre are you changing them for. On my ninja 1000 I have Continental conti attack 4 excellent grip on the dry roads has for wet not rode in the rsi. Yet. But when I change them I’m fitting Michelin Road 6 just under £400 per set they are fantastic tyres 👍🏍️😎

@RRRRefuelRideRace 2 ай бұрын

I had the same situation on the SV. 😂 I wasnt really sure what tires I should pick... but then I made just a slight change. You will see the new ones in one of the next videos. I can tell you that I didnt go for the Road 6, but tejy say that they are very good for what you pay. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. How is it everything with the Kawa?
