Which only goes to prove motorcycling is not the cheap transport it was in the 60s when I was an apprentice! I've had Michelins since I wore out the OE Bridgestones. Just cause they last longer. The originals had heaps of feel which made them good to get used to the MT10 but the Michelins have the harder rubber in the centre giving a more even wear with the side tread. You will not be disappointed.

I had the T32's on my Triumph Sprint, loved them, the grip was incredible, felt really confident throwing it around the bends. Price wise you can't argue with the T32's in my opinion, but the Road 6's are getting some great reviews. Gutted about Carol's puncture (was a good video though). Great work guys, hope you both enjoy the new tyres 🤣

I have the same ones and I like them. Great tires. They are doing everything right. I agree about changing the brand. Simply, those who don't try, don't know. :) Thanks for sharing it Richard.

Nice to know about the Bridgestone T32 as an alternative to the Michelin Road 6s. As you know I love the Michelin Road 6s and have put them on four bikes and plan fitting them on one more bike probably next year.

I’m also a fan of Bridgestone t32, recently I’ve noticed the bump on the tyre front and rear… and I’ve put 18km (11k miles) on them, the tread looks exactly like yours at the moment. Indeed a great tyre and long lasting tyre I had so far.

Thanks for this T32 update, I think they might be way to go on my Z900RS.

My OEM T32s lasted only about 2700miles. Tracer 9gt (basically a MT09 with 70 pounds of touring gear) ...It was easy to lean all the way to edge on the rear I had been running roadsmart 4s which lasted at least 500miles longer but cost more and and apprently were not as confidence inspiring as I always had a "chicken stripe" initially quite wide but finally got down to about 1/8"....not that it matters I'm just saying there is something about the T32s that make it easier to lean farther. I Just bought my first of T32s since the ones that came on the bike and they are pleasantly cheaper than some other brands I paid $320 after $60 rebate delivered to my door tax and all making them the cheapest tires I have purchased since buying the Tracer 9gt in June of 2022....I actually spent nearly $600 on one pair of Dunlop after they upsold me balancing beads and angle air valves along with labor since wheels were on the bike....so now I ihave my own machine and balance stand! No more 2 hour round trip journies to be financially molested! lol

I always have Bridgestone on my FZ1 Fazer, always liked them. On the Trident I have road 5. I never liked Pirelli and Continental. The Mash Xride has Dunlop Mutant on now, changed right from new, don't go of road.

I fitted R6's to my MT10 last year and was more than happy with them,4000 miles later hardly worn.

I am using T32 myself, I think I did 16k km on it and I love those tires, for the price they are awesome, never felt bad on them, drove gravel, wet, cold, super hot. Wear is great on rear, but the front started cupping, but could be due to my forks. I am thinking of replacing front and keep on riding the rear and then replace the rear as well.

Thanks for giving us an honest review of tyres, it's very helpful to those of us needing a change. I'm predominantly a Michelin or Pirelli fan although Metzeler's seem good also. It's Bridgestone Battlax S22's which are fitted OEM to the ZZR. At first I had reasonable confidence in them even in the wet but then as the weather turned colder the rear gave a bit of a slip. It happened again recently on a hot day admittedly with damp roads, perhaps it was just something on the road at the time? I don't think OEM tyres are of the same standard as " official" branded. Hope you're both enjoying your time in Europe and getting better weather than we are currently getting here.

I am a fan of the Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE on my Honda. Super confident on all roads and weather. Lasted about the same 7,000 miles with heavy cornering. For super sticky I prefer the Battlax S22 but for the money they don't last long enough. Sharp looking ride. Enjoy.

I’m a Bridgestone fan. I’m running T31 on VFR and S22 on Street Trip atm. Can’t fault them for what I want esp the S22. Bridgestone seem a little bit out of vogue compared to Michelin and the Pirelli/Metz offerings, but they make great tyres.

I bought the Bridgestone T32 for my 2019 Speed triple RS 1050 in the last month and found a local bike garage to fit to loose wheels , baring in mind my rear is a 190 which are a little more to buy, so the tyres delivered to me was £295 in total and £15 to fit to loose wheels and the garage would have been £30 if I rode in for him to do the full amount of work to fit them, so you might be able to save depending where you live etc, but for now I'm very impressed with the dry handling and if I can get 6k miles out of them I'll be very happy. Thanks for sharing.

My current set of tyres for my Moto Guzzi Griso are the road 6's. Been very impressed by them so far.

Morning guys. As you may know I love the Michelin Road tyres, I’ve got 5’s on my Speedy and just fitted 6’s to my bestie’s Street Triple. I was really interested to hear how well you rated the Bridgestones and can’t wait to hear what you think of the 6’s. For me, fitting the right tyre is so important, let’s face it, there’s not much rubber keeping you shiny side up! Enjoy using them! 😁👍

That's tyred me out. they certainly look the part and it will be interesting to see how they fair.

Thank you for your thoughts on this one, I will need a pair on mine before I go to Scotland in September, my last 3 changes have all been with the Bridgestone BT023 tyres. Usually I will have a pair, then a rear then a pair again. I tried a Continental on one of the others but did not like how it felt when cornering, so little confidence. Most of the smaller bikes are on Avon tyres as they were cheap and did not need to be performance type tyres. Although I think they've stopped making them now. All the best to you both.

I've had Bridgestones on my bikes for many years now (probably over 30 years) and although I have tried other bikes with other makes of tyres, I still always go for Bridgestone and have S21s on my MT10 currently. I find they give great feel and at the limit, they are progressive with no nasty snap loss of grip. They are good on the brakes on the MT10, providing you reduce the standard front fork compression damping just a little. Be interested to know where you're off to in Europe, as I'm off in 3 weeks and am competing in a Hillclimb in Switzerland with one of my Sunbeams! Enjoy your trip.

That is some good mileage from the T32's. I have generally always had a good experience from Michelin tyres, the Road 5 was great on my 765, and have the Pilot Power on my Gixer

I’ve always gone for premium rubber until this last year where I decided to try Pirelli’s Angel GT tyres, they’re around £200 a pair and return around 7-8k miles on my tracer 900 with a heavy hand. Generally I’ve been quite happy with them. Although there’s been a couple seat pinching moments on less than ideal road surfaces. 😅 might be worth a look!

I'm impressed with that mileage on the MT10 Richard

Wow! The trouble I have in my area is finding a tyre fitter. Have you ever considered bringing the wheels to your fitter loose? You could save some money! Good luck with your new rubber! I may stick some road 6’s on my GSA next time!

Got the T31's on my Versys, seem pretty good. Not had em in a very wet road setting yet, but impressed do far

Ive never owned a pair of Michelin Road tyres for any of my bikes. I tried getting some for my XR last year but sadly there was a shortage in the tyre world. I was recommended by BMW motorad in Manchester Avon Spirit ST's. After some research online it seemed they were better than the road 5's (6's weren't out at the time). Needless to say I'm only my 4th set of Avons as they are brilliant in the rain and epic in the dry. Also they were £40 cheaper that the road 6's. Fasty-Rides

Nice one, but surprised you only got 6,000 miles from them. My Pirelli Angel GT II have done just over 5,500 miles now and still plenty of tread left.

That's actually pretty good that the front is evenly warn. They might have softened the front compound and taken advantage of the lesser wear.

man is that front tire fitted the other way around the ridges for warter are pushing front wheel water inside not out i mean t32

Michelin pilot power 2ct and I usually get 6k on rear and a lot more say15k on front

Crickey you pair like spending your dosh , I buy my tyres on line then take my wheels in to R&J in coalville to have them fitted & balanced at £15. a tire and I dispose of the old tyres. I would say your going to love the Michelins big time, let us know how you get on. Ian.

When ya need em guys what can you is their a echo charge now for the old tyres to be recycled or something or am I dreaming 😉 have you ever tried Pirelli's as I was considering them for my next ones . Still it's a good excuse for a coffee and cake consolation treat to help get over the expense 😁👍

Good tyres but then most are these days, I’m a big Conti fan but I’ve been happy with Michelin, Bridgestone and Pirelli sport touring tyres…

Think yourself lucky on the tyre front, I’ve just been quoted £299 for a dunlop whitewall front tyre for my harley road king , not including fitting 😢

You don't notice the difference because you're not on the edge of the tyre. Bridgestones can handle trackdays. I've done it.

Bridgestone makes a better tire

Interesting. I'm surprised you don't buy your tyres mail order and fit and balance them yourselves? You would soon recover the cost of the tyre changer and balancing stand. I'm going with Pirelli Angel GTs this time around on my VFR800 as I simply cannot afford the price of Michelin Road 5s or 6s at the moment nor this Bridgestone T32 even though they are slightly cheaper.

Thx. Confirmed my thoughts on the T32. Think your not gonna like the road 6. It's less usable in wet. Shape is more sport than tour looking at the 5 as comparison. It's not so much a successor.

With respect i wouldn't be happy with that wearing out in 6,000 miles.,especially as they aren't cheap..I'm going to be trying the pirelli angel gt,s ...ps I tried road six on a friend's bike and the have a really steep profile and feel like the bike will fall over way to quick ,very dodgy handling tyre .
