ST 1300 / Tires

Banknote · Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2010 2:19 pm Post subject: ST 1300 / Tires

If my memory serves me correctly there are some riders here on this forum who have ST1300's. Bridgestone, thru an old friend of mine at Tucker Rocky, has a new sport/touring tire coming out this spring and is looking for someone who has a ST1300 to evaluate, put on some miles, and give Bridgestone some product feedback. Bridgestone is looking for ST 1300 bikes because of the bike's different tire sizes from the norm. If you have a ST1300 and are interested in tire testing you can contact me here at this forum or call Bridgestone direct and ask for
John Turner at 1-615-584-3701 and tell him John Hurley or Dave Sinclair ask you to call.

Mine's an ST 11. Maybe I can take a sharpie and change it to a 3. Though with my fine art skills, I'd turn it into a ST 3100.

If your bikes runs the same wheel/tire size as a ST1300 I would think your in.

Well count me in..I ride my ST1300 at least 10,000 miles per year.
Currently running Dunlop road smarts..
And as the Service Manager here at Lee's Honda in Redding, I tend to sell what I'm using. I'd like to try the Bridgestones.

Then, if it is not to late, you need to call Steve Turner at the cell number I posted above and tell him your available.

Received the new Bridgestones from Steve turner this past week.
Test rode today on my ST around the roads near Manton.
Very impressed, in fact they are the best tires I've ran on my St yet.(has 26,000 miles on it) My wife commented on how "smooth" the bike rode today. Bike handled the Wilson Hill road hairpins with ease, very neutral and excellent grip. Very impressed.

Good deal. Glad the tires worked out. I'm sure Bridgestone will be pleased with your impressions and comments.
