It has good handling characteristics for me. :cooldude:Title: Re: rear tire on front Post by: MarkT on May 08, 2019, 06:19:28 PM Been pretty happy with a Bridgestone Batlax BT45 in front - been using that one for years on Deerslayer, Jade and BluByU - '02 wing. Has 11/32 tread depth IIRC. in size 130/90-17. Tall and narrow makes for crispy handling. Not good in loose gravel.

I got it at a small shop here in Indy. I checked the manufactured date before having it installed. It was new, not an old leftover.
