Michelin Pilot Street rated 59% while driving a Yamaha MT 125
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 spirited miles
These tyres are decent in fine weather, and I have had no issues with response, feedback, wear or anything else. However these tyres can easily get you killed in the wet. Very poor wet grip and can be felt slipping quite easily. If it never rains then maybe get these tyres, but you ride in the rain then please do not use these. It’s not worth your life.

Michelin Pilot Street rated 50% while driving a Kawasaki Ninja 250
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 average miles
Just fine on dry pavement. But go super easy in wet weather. At 35 km per hour with no throttle or brake input they slid out from under me in a tight but steady corner in the wet. No warning.

Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T32 rated 70% while driving a Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 factory
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 spirited miles
T32 180/55 rear (not GT). On an Aprilia Shiver 750. 36psi cold. Rear tyre, when pushed, will slide. Previous T31 had bags of grip, and bought the T32 for wet weather improvements, assuming similar dry grip properties. In the wet, they are good, no better than the T31s, but in the dry, when I like to push on a bit, I've found I can slide the rear, on the lean. First time it happened was a bit of shock. No changes to riding style, same roads, clean and dry. After the second slide a few miles on I stopped to check it wasn't fluid or something else, it wasn't. The tyre felt mildly warm when I was expecting some heat. I have TPS on my wheels and have noted that PSI increase due to ride/heat increase is slow, much slower than I'm used to, in fact running pressure is a few PSI down on the T31. This tells me the tyre is stiff, which explains the slide and the slow increase in heat/pressure. Would I buy the T32 again....NO. I'll go back to the T31 which is much much better. If you tour and are gentle on the throttle, and don't hoon about, you'll be ok with this tyre, but for me I expect a good balance between consistent grip and life, and sadly the T32 is lacking in grip when pushed hard on lean.

Metzeler ROADTEC 01 rated 99% while driving a Kawasaki Z900 V2
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
I ask the tire shop for their recommended one, they recommended the Road Tech 01, from what I can say my first impression was awesome and definitely going to buy again.

Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T32 rated 89% while driving a Kawasaki KTM SMT 990
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
here writing just after my first ride with the new T32 tyres (with a KTM smt 990).
my first was with a kawasaki ninja 250r, used over 4000kms. After my stock tyres, T32 shown me how much a quality tyre could change your riding experience. The bike was like on another level, also my riding experience. the stability & handling was so encouraging . Wet and dry performances were both fine.
After around 4k kms, have felt some lose on its performance, but was not a deal breaker.
So i bought T32 again for my Ktm 990, replacing my worn continental tyres on which i had wobbly turns, even could not leave the handlebars because of wobble. In my first ride today it was first thing i have take in account because was already feeling stable .. As i tried to leave my hands, the bike had this perfect stability .. there were no wobble left .
yes, i m admired of this tyres . since it was my first ride w the new tyres, didn't yet push it so much but i have been on a curvy road.. and never felt me insecure .

Avon Cobra Chrome rated 70% while driving a Kawasaki Vulcan 1600
Driving on mostly town for 4300 easy going miles
Just over 4k miles. Front tire is no longer round. And rear tyre is tearing of small pieces..
Would not recommend for cruisers...
Tire pressure always to spec.
Just one summer tire

Dunlop ScootSmart rated 71% while driving a Suzuki Burgman 400
Driving on mostly town for 1370 easy going miles
Nearing 2500km with these tyres. The main issue has been for me the wet performance. I am already a cautious rider, mostly riding casually and these tyres on wet surfaces force me to be even more careful. It gets even worse with a pillion. The fact that I have to watch out for the tyre rather than the opposite is pretty annoying in itself. Coming from almost 6000km on Anakees to these felt like a downgrade.

The dry performance on the other hand feels good but there is a caveat, building up heat somewhat feels longer compared to most other brands' tyres. So, if you want to throw your scooter around for some fun, you need to ready the tyres first properly.

In terms of comfort, as long as you stick to the recommended pressures, they carry you well. I live in a city with a pretty bad asphalt maintenance and they held up well so far in this regard.

Avon Storm 3D XM rated 53% while driving a Triumph Sprint RS
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
Changed to these from Bridgestones - feels now like a bit of a mistake! Though only a year old, the rubber on the front - particularly the edges - has noticeably hardened. That, along with some really obvious cupping of the tread, meant that the feedback in bends had gone. It was uncomfortable leaning the bike over as it felt insecure and it was no longer tracking a line nicely. In the wet, the grip was still there, but the feel from the front was extra vague. The rear had fared better, but had developed some square-off. Though both front and rear had at least 1000 miles left in them in them before reaching tread-depth limit, it was no longer a pleasure to ride on them.

Bridgestone Battlax BT 023 rated 71% while driving a Yamaha MT 07
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
used for about 6000km always without saving anything. very aggressive driving style but with a 48hp bike.
degradation increases significantly on days with temperatures in the 40s. on colder days they take a few km before coming up to temperature.
overall satisfied
