Bridgestone Battlax BT46 Rear Tire (130/80-17(65H)(11632))

I've used this tire on my Goldwing for years. I think it delivers good performance at a competitive price. I believe it's a great value.

This was on my '22 Honda Goldwing to allow me to go double darkside. It is a terrific tire that I so far have gotten 35,830 miles out of and will likely be at 36,000 by the time the replacement gets here. And that is 10,130 miles after putting a plug in it from a flat tire on Aug. 8th, 2025.

Put it on the front of a golďwing 1800 trike, wears like iron, smooth riding, balanced easy with rideon

This was the tire that I had on the front of my 2001 Goldwing. A quality tire with a great price. The first one decided to get a slice in it from some road debris after I had 19,000 miles on it. There was still enough tread to go another 5,000 miles. Quick delivery.

These tires are perfect, they look and feel great, excellent performance and handling, I bought a front and rear, never got a survey for the front, Great Price!

Great tires for my Royal enfield interceptor and very well priced, too. I've bought these a couple of times now, and in both instances, the tires arrived in good condition, with very recent manufacturer dates. These were a big improvement over the OEM tires on my bike and seem to last for about 10k miles (riding styles may vary)

Replaced a MichCommander3 130/80 17 on a 2017 Ultra Classic converted to Motor Trike. Did the research and found most of the GW owners use the BT 46 (was 45) rear on the Front, reversing the direction of rotation. Didn't see many Tri-Glide users with this and found the stock TriGlides have 16" front and 15" rear (Milwaukee M8 years)... My Motor Trike has 17" Front and 17" Rear (custom) 245/45 17 (low profile). This set up may have contributed my problem. The dealer mounted this in the reverse direction as many others do ( maybe "most" others with trikes). On the first ride, the front end seemed to have a 'new' shimmy at higher speeds (50 - 65mph). Next few rides I encountered mild to scary Speed Wabble (left/right alternating fork compression) at 50 or 60 when there was light down force (accel) and ripples in the road. A little brake or left-right steer would stop it. Some more research found others with similar, but at lower speeds. A few commenting lower tire pressure helps (lowered mine to 35, then 30 - no change). Others say they always mount in normal rotation to prevent 'vibration' on their customer's bikes/trikes. Had my rotation switched back to normal and the wabble is gone. Road solo and 2 up for a few 100+ mile trips, various conditions. Still good. Settled on 35 psi as these side walls are thick and stiff ( a rear), which 'seemed' to feel a little better in the tight turns. The zig zag tread pattern in the tire's center doesn't seem to be "directional" (for water). Trikes don't lean so don't see a handling issue in the rain. Hope this helps if you have a similar set up. I'm happy with the tire, thick, deep, centered tread.

Put these tires on my 2022 Triumph Bonneville in 2024 and they really made a difference in the ride. They still look new after 3000 miles, they wear even and seem very tough, no flats.
