Bridgestone Tire Review
This tire handles well but does not last. If it is like the other ones, I will probably get 5 to 6k kilometers on it.

Battlax BT-021 Rear Tire
Great all around tire going through my third set in about 4 seasons. They last roughly 5000-7500kms depending on your riding style. I do put some hard, fast, long kms on these. I wear them right down to the metal. Durable and need good wear life in the praries. Of course you need a 168mph speed rating....because who doesnt like to go fast. Remember theres a time and place. Happy Ridng. Cheers.

Questions
What is the difference between BB, AA and U rating when I'm buying a tire? Will this effect the tire fitment on my bike?
The tire's code letter indicates that it is recommended for the specified motorcycles, and may also have been the original equipment tire. It can also be used on other motorcycles where appropriate. The compound and construction of the tire is uniquely suited to the weight, horsepower and handling characteristics of the motorcycles listed, even thought the rest of the description and specifications may match other tires with the same name.
