180/80 17 Tyre Review Highlights

Bridgestone Battlax BT 012 rated 46% while driving a Honda Cbr600fa
Driving on a combination of roads for 200 average miles
Fitted on a new Honda CBR600F ABS - i came off within 200 miles, and have changed them for Metzeler Z8 Interacts.

This is my third bike and the first time i've come off. I think i'd hit some diesel on the road earlier, but the rear squirmed leaving lights, and then high-sided me on the first gentle left hand bend. The road was damp. The scary thing is how little notice i had before the rear slid out.

I found the feedback on the road to be non-existant on these tyres - i was never comfortable.

I've used Bridgestone B-014s and B-016s before and found the feedback much better.

It appears other people have come off on these tyres.

One word: AVOID.
