Bridgestone – Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring, including T32F front radials, T32R rear radials, 110/70ZR17 and 120/60ZR17 fronts, 120/70ZR19 adventure-touring fronts and 160/70ZR17 and 190/50ZR17 rears, is built for riders who cover distance without slowing down. Sport touring asks a tire to do contradictory things: last thousands of miles, warm up quickly on a cold morning, and still hold a confident line on a mountain pass with luggage aboard. The T32 handles that through a compound arrangement that keeps a hard-wearing center band under the highway load and softer rubber toward the shoulders for cornering grip. Bridgestone also increased the groove volume, which pays off in wet-weather braking and water evacuation during a long day of rain. Front sizes include 110/80ZR18 for classic tourers and 120/70ZR19 for road-biased adventure machines, with 140/70ZR18 and 160/60ZR18 rears alongside 17 inch fitments. Riders describe the feel as neutral and calm, which is exactly what a five hundred mile day needs. Riders swapping from a pure sport tire usually gain thousands of miles of life while giving up very little cornering confidence on their favorite roads.
