Renewed love of riding
With a vintage 1975 Honda CB750, tire options are limited, particularly as the stock sizes are in imperial measurements. The Bridgestone Battlax BT-46 Front and Rear
in 3.25x19 and 4.00x18 fit the bill perfectly. Handling and traction have never been so controlled and confidence inspiring. The grip is fantastic, and while the bike is heavy by today's standards, the BT-46's profile lets me flick this old Honda effortlessly into corners. I love my bike again! Thanks Bridgestone.

What a difference!
What a difference! I changed the Dunlops I had on for those and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Now the old bike goes straight as a bullet.

Superior Handling
I've been riding on this tire for about 2 months and I ride a couple of times a week and sometimes long distances. I found this tire to have great traction to the road when cornering and in the rain. I was very impressed with the control and handling I found when riding through a torrential rain storm in November of 2021 where there was an excessive amount of water collected on the roadways and highways.

Bias Ply - Not much else to say... it works
Had a 19 year old tire (Bridgestone Bias Ply) which was rotting, looked for a competitively priced tire and bought from Fortnine. Delivery was delayed due to COVID, but arrived within 3 weeks. So far, pushed through corners with loads of confidence.

Easy transatransaction, fast delivery
Made my first purchase through Fortnine and the process was so quick and easy. They had size of tires I needed and they shipped and delivered within 4 days of placing my order. EVEN with crappy Canada Post!!! Nicely done... would purchase more in the future.

Questions
It says rear tire in the listing. But if the size is available for my front, is there any problem using it as a front tire?
Rear tires like the Bridgestone Battlax BT-46 Rear Tire are only meant for the rear, and should not be used as a front tire.

Can this tire be used with an inner tube even hough it is tubeless design?
Keep in mind that if you install an inner tube in a tubeless tire, the speed rating of the tire is reduced.

What is the difference between 61V and 61H?
Tire Speed Rating
H's Rated up to 210 km/h
V's Rated up to 240 km/h
These are intended as tubeless tires. Introducing a tube will decrease the speed rating.
