I run the bridgestone battleax BT45s Ill I can say about em is I like em.Pretty much time for a new rear tire But I got about 10,000 km out of it.The front still has lots of life left in it.A little pricey but worth it IMO the dual compond works good in the corners and the harder middle is pretty long wearing.Ill be replacing the back with the same again
