Description
The Battlax Racing Street RS10R is aimed squarely at riders who want race-inspired grip without needing to swap tires before every track day. The Battlax Racing Street RS10 was optimized for high grip and precise handling on dry pavement, using tire construction Bridgestone pioneered rather than borrowed. Mounted on the rear of a sport bike built to handle real corners, this tire is sized 180/55ZR17 M/C 73W TL, matching the specification Bridgestone lists for this application, so the load rating, speed rating and construction called out on the original spec sheet carry straight through to this listing.
- Optimized for high grip and handling performance on dry surfaces
- Bridgestone was first to use 1×5 filament rubber-insulated steel belting, which adds flex and stability without hurting shock absorption
- Radial construction gives a stable, planted feel when carrying speed into a corner
- A proven pick for riders who want a race-inspired street tire with a track record
- Manufactured to the 180/55ZR17 M/C 73W TL specification for rear fitment, keeping load index and speed rating exactly as Bridgestone rates this tire
Riders switching from a worn set of OE rubber or an older Battlax generation typically notice the change first in mid-corner stability, then in how the tire holds its line as speed builds through a sweeper. This rear tire is not a generic replacement pattern stretched across sizes; it is built specifically at 180/55ZR17 M/C 73W TL so the contact patch, sidewall stiffness and tread geometry all match what Bridgestone engineered for this exact fitment. That matters more on a sport bike than on almost anything else on the road, since a rear or front tire that is even slightly off in profile changes turn-in speed and mid-corner line noticeably.
This tire is designed for the size and position listed, so confirm fitment before mounting to avoid handling surprises. IPD Racing keeps this in stock as part of a full Bridgestone lineup.
