Yamaha FZS 600 Tire Review Highlights

Worst Tire I have ever tried, and I have tried many brands, mind you, I do not think Bridgestone is a bad brand, their S22 are legendary good, but this model in particular came on my Yamaha 600 Fazer and it is just a plastic donut, slips in the wet like it´s full of oil. In the dry it does ok but if you ride aggresively it does slip too, they last a very long time, I have done more than 5000km and they still look almost new, but the performance is lacking, I would not recommend this tire unless you ride like a granny on sunny days. For me, Michelin has the best wet weather tires, followed by Dunlop and Pirelli. But I am sure other brands, including Bridgestone have better tires. Hope this helps.

I ride mostly highway with a little bit inside the city. I also took the motorcycle on a roadtrip from the Netherlands to Croatia last summer. Over the past 18 months I have ridden more than 27,000km with these tires. I do not know how many kilometers they've done since I got them used with the motorcycle (looked fairly untouched at the time, but were not new). The front tire has now still 1000km to go according to the garage and rear 4000km. They have given me great grip in all type of weather condition: From the hot Croatian summer to light snow on a Dutch winter day, I have always had the feeling they have good grip and comfort.

Kind of wishing I'd weighed these before fitting to compare with my usual Bridgestones... I have the impression that they are lighter. Good from the point of view of unsprung weight, but it took me a little while to get used to the handling, it felt a little vague as if there wasn't much feedback from the front... reduced gyroscopic effect due to less mass might be the reason.
I also suspect PR3s might be a little more prone to punctures: I picked up a small nail in the rear after only a few hundred miles, again the light construction could be partially to blame, I think the steel cords in the BT023 would have deflected the thing. Yes, I know it's just bad luck and statistically irrelevant, but after 175,000 miles on Bridgestones with zero punctures one after 300 miles on Michelins was a surprise.
Otherwise they're excellent, particularly in the wet and warm up quickly too.

A lot less of slip when the tire is on the end of its life compared to Dunlop. Under heavy excellerations from the curves slips when worn out. Although I often ride aggressively, the meat on the edge is still there. The meat in the centre is gone but it still feel safe and handles good. Done about 10k km on middle weight bike all roads and types of riding. Although it costs a bit more then Dunlop's Roadsmart, gives more feedback and feels safer. Good tire, I am considering buying it again, but I might try other manufacturers just from curiosity.

Have has these on for 8 months and 18,000 miles doing a mixture of riding, about 45% motorway, 30% town and 25% lanes. I am only now needing to replace the rear tire, the front is probably good to do the same again. The only thing I found negative with these tires is the amount of road noise and of course they are quite firm. But I guess this is the trade off for high milage.

Definately going to stick with these and have just bought a new rear tire of the same type. If you do alot of commuting miles these are brilliant.
