Title: bridgestones
Post by: jimd on June 07, 2011, 09:56:10 PM

Has anyone used the burgeman sized bridgestones on the x500? If so how do they alter the ride handling. Etcetera?  Any answers appreciated

After running two sets of Michelin Gold on my '07, I switched to Bridgestone Hoop. Rear tire is wider at 160/60/14. I did like the way they handled very much. Don't know about how they wear as I sold the '07 and purchased an '09. It has Kenda.

Maxxis are too sticky to survive hot Texas asphalt. I have heard they are good in the rain. Usually rain or snow tires will not last very long on hot Texas roads.
