what are your guys thoughts on the bridgestone battleax tires? i bought my 07 with those tires on it stock and have about 3000 miles on the first set and i have the cords showing down the middle of the tire so i need a new tire asap. are these good tires? I didnt really have any problems with them unless the road is cold and tires are cold then they would break loose, but in the twisties they did good. how are they compared to michilens or dunlop or pirelli?
thanks
thanks

wear bars
I ride all the time till the cords show with no problems. The wear bar and tire groves are mainly focused at wet riding. I hit it hard in the twisties and never have issues although I will never ride on wet roads after wear bars are gone. I been averageing 1100-1600mi on a rear with even wear from side to side on the dunlop qualifier. I recently have a dunlop roadsmart on now and love it. I will probably stick with this tire expecially after my buddy has done 3 trackdays on em and still rides em on street.

So I pulled the trigger at 3100 miles on the OEM tire. I had a quarter inch strip in the center that was worn to the hard rubber. I replaced it with a Dunlop Qualifier to match the front. Maybe I am just imagining, but to me it looks like the tire has a lot more tread on it than a new oem tire starts with. Has anyone else seen this or am I just seeing things?
