Ultra-high-performance radials designed to maximize the performance of all sport bikes on the road today. The BT016 utilizes a new multi-compound formulated with technology from Bridgestone’s MotoGP tire development. It provides outstanding grip in all conditions.

The front tire uses a dual-compound to provide grip in all riding modes and the parallel S-shaped grooves provide optimal cornering force.

The rear tire uses a new triple-compound to provide stronger traction and the L-shaped grooves enhance shock absorption.

3D-CTDM (Comprehensive Tire Design Method) is an advanced tire design technology that enables dynamic, three-dimensional simulations of tire performance at all lean angles. Z-rated.

      Mid priced tire...great in every respect.
      Performs really well and looks beefy.

        Comments about Bridgestone Battlax BT016 Motorcycle Tire:

        I love me some Bridgestone BT016's.

        These are great tires for someone that commutes during the week and does some canyon or track riding. Super sticky and you get decent mileage out of them.

        One of the - if not the - best values in street bike tires in my opinion! Highly recommend these!

          First off I am extremely impressed with shipping time. From order time to recieving tires was less than 48 hours. The price was unbeatable. Wet onto the Bridgestone website and would have paid over $400 for the two tires. Haven't had a whole lot of ride time with them yet but I know they are better than my power pilots. Very happy with this purchase and I would recommend to anybody.

              Comments about Bridgestone Battlax BT016 Motorcycle Tire:

              As long as the arch-nemesis, the rogue nail, isn't around, these tires are awesome! I've had a 2 year old used one last a healthy year with several thousand miles put on it then, and another brand new one. They gripped nicely on the freshly rained on asphalt of AZ which is a nice feature. If you know about our roads you know this is a life saver. I can lean deep when they're about 60 degrees temp also. All in all very satisfied. Once it becomes nail proof, this will be the perfect tire!

              Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              • Q:

                What is the difference between this tire and Battlax BT016 Pro Hypersport.? Aren't the same tires? Which tire you suggest for a daily but hard usage on a '03 CBR rr600?

                  A:

                  Thanks for your question! New compounds and updated features set the Hypersport a step ahead of the original BT016. The Hypersport would be a great option for your machine. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

                  Thank you for your question. Unfortunately the tires will not fit your bike. You will need to search for narrower tires. The Bridgestone BT45 is the model tire the 250R is equipped with. Below is a link to the tire:

                  A:

                  Thank you for your question. Unfortunately the BT016R is not available in the sizes needed for the GL1800. The Bridgestone BT-016R is a radial tire and doesn't have the load index required for the Honda GL1800. You may need to search for a bias ply or reinforced tire that meets that criteria.
