Just for info.
Having had previous communications with Bridgestone regarding the suitability of their tyres for ST1100 and ST1300, I checked with Bridgestone Customer Services via their UK website regarding fitting the T30 GT tyres to an ST1300.
Simple Question: Is the T30GT recommended for the Honda ST1300 please?
I eventually got the reply below.
Dear Mr. Heath,
You asked us a question on 3/25/2014 at 11:52:03 PM. The answer is:
Thanks for your enquiry.
Please see below for a list of compatible tyres for your bike.
79138 120/70 ZR 18 (59W) tl BT 020 F F
77289 170/60 ZR 17 (72W) tl BT 020 R F
3516 120/70 ZR 18 (59W) tl BT 023 F GT
4873 170/60 ZR 17 (72W) tl BT 023 R GT
We would not recommend fitting T30GT's however this is not a legal requirement & is entirely your decision.
Kind regards,
(name supplied)

No reason was given for this statement. It took them over a year to approve the BT023GT for the ST1300 though.
That response surprised me, I thought / assumed they had been approved already !
cheers for the info.
