Bridgestone Battlax T32 review: how good are they?

[@NooBiker]

Thanks for the information. Performance in the wet is quite important for me. My new tyres are Michelin Road 6. I'll do a video once I've had the chance to ride them for some distance, but the day after i fitted them i went out on teisty roads, it was very wet with floods and standing water, and they were excellent even brand new.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I see. In Slovenia we don't have so many rainy days. I mean... it rains, but mostly in late autumn and spring. If I can, I avoid riding in the rain. Sometimes it is just impossible. Thanks for the comment bro, will consider the Road 6 as my next tires. :)

[@MRTPR]

Nice, review mate, I will be updating mine soon, I will keep these in mine.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks for tuning in bro. :)

[@tugadashcamsuk5946]

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

A brand new set of T32 is on my Z900RS and I'm ready to enjoy them!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Great choice mate. I already know that you are gonna have fun with them. Cheers. Thanks for stopping by.

[@wuhaaaaa]

Mee too I’ve put a pair of t32 on my z900rs 👍🏼

[@alinwithther6]

Great video Gregor, I'm also happy with the stock tires , the rear one has been replaced by the insurance company, but the front one has already 7500 km on it and maybe will last up to 10k maybe... depends on my riding. everyone is changing with Michelin Road 6 for not much more.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I heard about the Road 6, but I am happy also with the T32. You have some more km to cover with the front. :)

[@alinwithther6]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace you missed my premiere 😢 I had fate in you 🤔

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@alinwithther6 You are right... but there are some reasons, I am touring and I am behind with replaying. :) Will not forget. You can be sure. :)

[@Michael-Masi-911]

I just purchased Tracer 9 GT+. What would be your tire choice for someone riding with many rainy days or bad roads in a hot tropical country?

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

If you need to cover a lot of km/miles I would go for the GT tires. You have the possibility to pick the Bridgestone like me, then the Pirelli or even Metzeler. Some go also for Michelin or Dunlop. I had Dunlop Roadsmart, but I see that the T32 Battlax GT are better. You can check my mounting video and subscribe if you feel so. Thanks a lot bro. Appreciate it. Cheers.

[@rogerwilliams2629]

Glad they worked out, and thanks for the ride. Quite sure it's as close to riding as I will get .Hey, do you remember Bridgestone motorcycles? My friend had a 350 that was bad ass

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks for the comment Roger. In fact I really don't know about them. At least in my country we don't have them. How old are they?

[@rogerwilliams2629]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace I haven't seen one since the mid 70s, and they weren't common then

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@rogerwilliams2629 I see. Very rare. :)

[@zyghom]

people say that OEM tires are nowhere near the same type but non OEM- I would like to see your video about the tires when you changed to the non-OEM ones ;-)

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I have it. Till now I covered 8.000 km and they are very good tires. Will do the review video. Here you go... the day when I changed them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5rFf615qKmoh68si=GqnnwhNqUwgKyiHb

[@zyghom]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace mucios gracias ;-) Are the NON-OEM tires better than the one that came with my Tracer 9 GT (T32 in this case)? I just bought the bike with T32 and did 3k miles - wandering if new T32 will be better than the stock ones ;-)

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@zyghom You are welcome bro. Mine are GTs. Yes, better. Will do a detailed review of them next year when I will have to change them. :)

[@kimw200blaze4]

12,000 kms is amazingly good. However, I have heard Dunlop Roadmart 4s ( and these are the tyre I am currently running on my bike) have better durability, particularly in the front tyre compared to the T32.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks for the tip bro. Appreciate it. I never tried them, but at some point will do. Can check my other videos or even follow my Trip to Italy Series. Thanks a lot in advance.

[@RoadsOfOz]

Nice review mate.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks Matt. Appreciate it.

[@chanylinedance]

LIKE 3 amazing ❤ Very nice sharing 😍😍😍 Have a fantastic week my dear friend 🤗💖💓💕

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Great. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it. Take care and have fun.

[@2Wheel4Fun]

I usually rock sport touring tires as well these days. However i usially rock the Michelin Pilot Road GT Tires. I think there up to #6 now.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

How many miles per year? Probably 2 sets of tires. :)

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

That’s a nice tire. But, I really do like the Michelin Road 5. Be safe bro.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I never tried them. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@cruisingthethaiway6881]

I didn't like Road 5 because it had little grip. Constantly experiencing wheel spin. Switched to S22 for very good grip. On my 5th set of S22

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

@@cruisingthethaiway6881 that’s interesting. I haven’t had any wheel spin. I’ll have to look at the S22.

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

Hi Gregor they seem to last well it’s a bit strange how the front is worn more than the rear most bikers say the rear wears first. What tyre are you changing them for. On my ninja 1000 I have Continental conti attack 4 excellent grip on the dry roads has for wet not rode in the rsi. Yet. But when I change them I’m fitting Michelin Road 6 just under £400 per set they are fantastic tyres 👍🏍️😎

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I had the same situation on the SV. 😂 I wasnt really sure what tires I should pick... but then I made just a slight change. You will see the new ones in one of the next videos. I can tell you that I didnt go for the Road 6, but tejy say that they are very good for what you pay. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. How is it everything with the Kawa?

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

Everything is going well with the ninja been out on it a few times now seems a good bike thank you Gregor 👍🏍️

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@SOLOMOTOUK I see. How miles you covered till now?

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace 860 miles since I’ve had it but never used it for 3 weeks due to waiting for parts just gave it a deep clean today all the down pipes came up like new 👍🏍️😎

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Aha, I see. You had bad luck last time. Take care bro.

[@2Wheel4Fun]

2 sets per year is about right I usually get about 5K Mike's per set.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I see. You cover quite a lot per year. In my case one set is enough, if they go more then 12.000 km. 😀

[@2Wheel4Fun]

Yes in California we ride year round practically.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I see. The all year around rides then. 😂

[@Banditmanuk]

I've had those tyres on my MT10. I would rate them as excellent. There's not a lot between these and the Road 5 or 6s.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks for the comment Richard. I never tried the Road 5 or 6. I am away touring that is why I am a bit late in replying. :)

[@NooBiker]

Interesting.... But you don't ride much in the wet, Richard?

[@Banditmanuk]

I think in 40 + years of riding, I've experienced more wet riding than many people. Don't film in the rain and I don't choose to ride in the rain for a fun day out.

[@NooBiker]

@@Banditmanuk good point. Ho did you find the T32 in the wet, then?

[@Banditmanuk]

@NooBiker think I explained it in my review which I think you commented on. No scary moments. It of course, completely depends on how hard you push on. I would be happy on those or the Road 5 or 6. Which is the best in the wet? You would need to ask someone prepared to push on harder in the corners in the wet than me.

[@Underthehelm]

Good review for the tire! For me good tire must last min.15 thousand km. But it is not always so

[@2W_Adventure]

Slažem se, mada je kod mene nakon 18Tk bridgstone bila istrošena nekih 30% samo... Kolega nam je negdje otišao,zanemario nas, što nije uobičajeno 😉😁🥴

Imel Bridgestone kot prva vgradnja na moji hondi. Ne vem modela. 5 tisoč so zdržale. Vozim mitas sportforce, zdrži cca 6 tisoč. Z dunlop rs 4 sem naredil jurja več. Samo še mitas, cena zmaga
