Bridgestone introducing the T30 to replace the BT023

Available soon in ST sizes is the T30 sporty touring tire. Their website says it is meant for medium to heavy motorcycles and has GT specs for fast heavy bikes. Going forward the T, S, and R alpha character in the model will help define the intended use. (Touring, Sport, Race) some reviews are popping up in the UK but the tires aren't in stock over here yet.

If you liked 023s some good deals are probably going to had.

I did not have a good experience with the GT 023. I think I'll let others be the guinea pigs.

I'm REALLY not happy with the set of BT023's I've got on the bike now.

I currently have 8k on my set of 023GT's and I have been very happy up to this point. I did have an issue with low tire pressure and some odd cupping that went away for a period of time but has since returned. It was my fault I was only running 38psi when I needed to run 42psi. I think I will replace the front soon and wait till next summer to spoon on a new rear. Unless something drastic happens I will put on 023GT's again. I'm a very aggressive rider(as much as you can be in Ohio!), and I have not experienced any step outs in the wet or any extreme lean angle.

I too have BT023GTs on my 1300. Great tires IMHO. Quiet, Stick, Cushy Ride, and they get good mileage. We get a lot of heat out here and our tar snakes can be deadly. Although I can feel a little slipping when I transverse them when it is warm, they always regain their composure and track straight and true. I damaged one of my rear tires a week ago and purchased another GT to take it's place. Until I find a better tire that I like, the BT023GT will be my tire of choice.

I've had the BT023 rear step out on several occasions in the wet. Pressure is 42 lbs. The tires have about 2000 miles on them.

I have 12,500 miles on my set of BT 023 GT's and they look like there is 3000 miles left on them. The only time the rear stepped out on me is when I was cornering under power and went over a steel man hole cover. I have another set in the garage ready to go on in a few months.
Really happy with them.
