The voice while driving is good and the driving scenery is great. Thank you. I subscribe to you. Fighting! From South Korean KZfaqr Woongkham.💝💝💝👍👍👍

Thanks for the video on these tyres mate, helped me a lot. Have a new (21) Triumph Street Twin here in the UK with original phantoms. Hear a lot of how poor they are, been ok thro summer but paranoid of riding them in the wet. Good to see others commenting that the BT46 are much better in the wet so will plan to change. Always enjoy watching your vids 👍

a real beauty, love the classic look and the chrome

Getting one in the New Year Bike , thanks for them insights on tyres

Hi warro. Have had my bike for a month now and have only done 1000kms so no problems with the handling yet. Tyres seem ok so far. Fitted the spacers from Graham Chadwick as you suggested and a huge difference to the front end. Hope you are well. Overall very happy with the bike especially fuel economy. Getting over 80mpg without trying. Cheers Ian

Thanks for the video Warro. My GT is still too new to show this problem apparently, perhaps it never will but if it does I'll follow your example and swap the tyres out for a pair of Goodyear BT46's. Perhaps a check of the wheel alignment would not go amiss either.

My Bonnie t100 had the same Perrelli phantoms on, ok for the first 3000miles then got worse. Similar problems to you but in particular their wet weather grip was appaling. On the last ride on a dual carriageway they scared the hell out me, rear tyre would break away on the slightest of bends. Replaced them with bt46’s, at the same time converted the wheels to tubeless, what a transformation! Loads of grip great stability and a better ride, think the side walls are more flexible. After 1000mls I would highly recommend these Bridgestone tyres, they are the dogs doda’s. Keep safe, regards from Suffolk, GB.

Wow. Gorgeous bike.

I bought a Royal Enfield Continental GT650 in Rocker Red last week. The bike still has the OEM CEAT Zoom Cruze tyres. When these tyres wear out, I will fit Bridgestone BT46 tyres. Thanks for the video.

not the first time ive heard of issues with these tyres on the 650s they sure look nice with the chrome tank im currently rideing a r 1150r beema its 20 years old still a lovely thing to ride but not getting any lighter one day ill go to lighter bike like the 650 re i like the looks of them and they seem to be a ok bike

I have used Bridgestone BT46 bias-ply tires on a number of bikes in the past with both tubed and tubeless tires. The tire has been around for over 20 years and seems to be a good choice for any motorcycle that can use bias-ply tires. While in the U.S. they are typically more expensive than similar tires from other name brands, they stick well and I can't recall anyone saying that they didn't like the BT46 tires, which I guess is why they are still being sold and remain readily available in motorcycle shops and from on-line sources.

I still have the original CEAT tires. You think is ok to put the rear one at the front and buy a new Battlax BT 46 for the rear?

Between the cb500x, the 500f and the Interceptor as to riding experience, overall handling and ergos, given that they have similar power.. What would be your choice!

Hi Warro. I'm ordering the bt46 tires for my XSR. I want to ask, how is the grip of these tires on wet roads? Is the grip good when cornering? Thanks

Love your bike!! What size BT46 tires did you get??

Those tires are 'OEM versions' of the original Pirelli Phantom tires, which are likely much better. The specific version installed by motorcycle manufacturers just carry the Pirelli Phantom name and not much else -- lower cost, less rubber, harder -- basically just enough tire for a test ride and a sale. Most people never test ride a motorcycle off of a dealer lot at high speeds. Perhaps one reason they are called 'phantoms' is because there really isn't a tire there.

Hi Warro, did you go up a size or use the stock sizes, looking at getting a set in a week or 2

Interesting! I wonder if it was some non-uniformity in the tire - like a stiff, slippery, or grippy spot in the tread. The pulling to the left might have been due to a slippery or grippy strip all around one side of the tread. In all, perhaps poor quality control at the factory that made the Phantom tire for RE's twins.

Hi Warro , did you put a 150 on the rear? I like the look of them. I have the Ceat Zoom on mine from new and no problems.

Hey Warro, what sizes did you get?

Sir what is the ideal rpm to shift from 1st gear to second on the interceptor ?

How those BT46 tyres holding up Warro.

Triumph T100 with Avon road riders, I’ve never been less confident in my tyres they are complete shite the front has barely worn and has no grip in the wet, the rear is OKish but is worn out in the centre tyre pressure is correct, speed wobble at 60 70 80 they are horrible. Replacing tomorrow with these BT46’s I’ll let you know

hey Warro, have you checked the wheel alignment on the Interceptor since you bought it? Jeff Ware (motorcycle journalist), bought the same bike and mentioned to prospective buyers that it might be a good idea owners check this area... Jeff's got a wealth of road and racing experience. His personal bike was misaligned when he took delivery. Most likely a factory issue... Anyway he sorted it out. Runs straight and true after the alignment... Maybe what you were experiencing was uneven tire wear caused by misalignment. Brand new tires might be just masking the underlying problem...Anyway, maybe worth a watch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5qaZt2qq7_JeZc.html

Hi Warro, I've had an Interceptor 650 from new since March 2019. Right from the word go the bike pulled to the left, tipping in markedly on left handers but fine on right handers. Partial realignment of the rear wheel using a straight edge has helped (ignore the swing arm markings cos they are useless), but you can only go so far with this because the wheel spindle becomes too offset in the swinging arm. And what this does to the chain alignment?..God only knows. The handling is better but it still pulls to the left. Try riding straight with hands off the bars. My bike will only track straight when I lean to the left thus canting the bike to the right. I have concluded that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way my bike's frame/swing arm was built at the factory and I'm stuck with it. I do still like the bike but the handling issue is really irksome, and a number of other people are reporting the same. I'll get over it ( probably when I sell the bike)... in the meantime I just put up with it like others do. Like the channel, I also follow you with your 500 Trials bike ...got one of those too. Best wishes from Manchester UK.
