I really liked the overall performance of the Bridgestones. As indicated earlier, I could only get abut 8,500 miles on rear on the many sets that I used on my 02 Wing. Just got 10,124 on the stock Bridgestones on my F6B. I am amazed at the mileage that some get on their Stones. I don't ride aggressive, but not even close to some on the mileage. I replace my tires when they hit the wear bar, so presume that some others do so also. I could probably have gotten another 2k miles, but the rubber would be so thin it is just not worth the risk in both handling and punture potential. Perhaps I use the throttle too much!!!!
