Default Bridgestone update

At 4000 miles of use I can say I'm happy with my Bridgestone 302. Great 50/50 tire. I think I could go another 1500 on the road. But I'm going on a poker run today, so fresh rubber is needed.

I'm also interested in how it performs both on road and off. My 603 is more than half gone and I need a good 50/50 tire. I'm a little leary of the 270's after reading various posts on their road manners but these look pretty similar to the 603s.

thats the first i saw that tire, i like it alot. and with 4,000 miles on it! I think that might be my next tire, i have the kenda 270 on the rear. Thats a 50/50 tire? It seems alot more aggressive than the kenda 270.

ok i just checked the price of that tire... um.. yea, from bikebandit.com its 75$ thats alot compared to the 50$ for the kenda 270... is that what you paid around $75?

You can also get thru tires unlimited I paid 65.00 If I recall. I just installed it and now have over 500 miles on it. I love it its great on and off road I have not single tracked with it yet but I do know Tony has had no problems with it in single track. Even in the thickest of mud he gets good traction and it cleans out real well. I looked at it like this 50 to 60 dollars every 2000 miles or 65 to 90 every 4000 plus miles ads up the same. I would recomend this tire to any one in a heart beat very happy

I'll start by saying, I'm not a dirt biker and my expectations may not be as high as a racers'. I have not had any bad situation with this tire. Rode all seasons, rain, snow, frost, mud, sandy roads(not deep sand), creek beds, gravel, babyhead boulders, hot asphalt and whatever else I can't remember. On the wet grass... not so hot, on the street...never thought much about it. That must be a good thing. Definite 8 for my needs. $80 and a good 5000mi tire.

From AMT.....BRIDGESTONE TW302 4.60-18 REAR TT $58.82
Soon as I scrape together the funds this will be my next tire I'm pretty sure, either that or the Maxxis C6006
