Bought these tires at the start of the riding season, have over 2000km on them so far tires handle great in all conditions grip the road and provide lots of traction, have driven in the rain a couple times and the tires disperse the rain/ water perfectly maintaining traction, also have ridden these tires below zero still providing great traction tired still look brand new after over 2000km.

Fourth year with the battle axe. Corner with confidence. Not like Micheline that get squirmy after 6k km. You can actually sit on the tire unmounted without collapse. Tire handles the same new to end of life. Around 15k km life less if you ride hard. Incredible wet stick.

Good, but did not last as long as I expected
Only lasted about 7000KM, so it is not better than the T30 for me. I was hoping I would get over 10000KM. I know it is probably the way I ride and the motorcycle I have that made it last less than what I was hoping for.

Bridgestone T31
These T31's are simply excellent - great traction and cornering feel. Made my FJR feel like new again. A friend got the GT version and said they felt too stiff, so I went with the regular version as a result and love them.

Best Balance Between Performance and Price
I ran Bridgestone BT020 and BT023 for an additional 11000 km after buying my bike used, so I was confident but Bridgestone again. So far, I'm very impressed with the performance of my new T31 tires. Great hold and rain performance, and a smooth ride. Highly recommended!

Very good grip wet or dry
I ride a 2016 BMW R1200GSA and found these tires to have exceptional grip wet or dry. I have tried Michelin Pilot Road 4 and Michelin Anakee in the past. The Bridgestones are at least as good overall as The Road 4's but are cheaper. I get about 12,000 km on a rear tire with the Bridgestones and only 11,000 out of a Michelin Road 4. The Michelin Anakees are horrible overall with severe cupping and poor traction. I have ridden both the Michelin Road 4's and the Bridgestones extensively in the wet and have never had the traction control light come on!! Maybe it doesn't work but I have never felt a slip either and I drive fast. I will say that the Road 4's seem to last way better in the front vs. the Bridgestones. I got over 32,000 km on a front Road 4 and only 20,000 KM on a front Bridgstone. My bike is usually heavily loaded so the rear tires wear faster. I will say that the front Bridgestones are incredibly noisy once they get worn which I didn't notice on the Michelins. Overall I would have no hesitation recommending the Bridgestones over the Michelins if you want to save money and get a very good tire. If the price was the same I would buy the Michelins because the front tire lasts better and performs the same as the Bridgestones.

Whats the difference between the regular and the "(GT)"? I have a 2018 ducati scrambler and the current tire size is 120/70 ZR18
The GT spec tire is made for big, heavy, sport touring & touring bikes (Honda GoldWing, BMW R1200RT, BMW K1600GT/L,...). I wouldn't think your Scrambler would need them, but it depends on the manufacturer.
