Significant upgrade over OEM tire on Royal Enfield 650
Size: 140/70-18 (11640)
My Royal Enfield 650 INT came with an OEM tire of the CEAT brand, size 130-70/18. A pair of upscale aftermarket shock absorbers took away most of the "squirrely" feeling from the rear wheel. It was making the bike try to fall into every turn, and on straight stretches of highway I had been wishing for more forward stability. But I felt that there was still room for improvement. So I bought this Bridgestone Battlax BT46 140/70-18 tire, expecting the greater width to give the bike a calmer ride quality and less sensitivity to curving roads. I was not disappointed. The "squirrel" is gone completely, and the rear of the bike is now acting exactly the way I've been used to from several Hondas and Kawasakis that I've owned (which had also received tire and shock upgrades). I installed the tire manually because a regional motorcycle dealer asked $200 just to install the tire and inner tube on the naked wheel. The DIY work required a bead breaker stand. I've had one for my other bikes, from that well-known company that sounds like it's getting its merchandise from a harbor. I also used a set of 16" tire irons and "Bead Slick" tire lube, all from amazon.com. I had plastic rim protectors as well but they were of limited usefulness when the going got tough toward the end of the tire mounting process. The BT46 is fairly stiff, and it helps to let it warm up in the sun before mounting. In the past, I used diluted dish detergent for installing motorcycle tires, but the Bead Slick really turned out to work much better. Also, it leaves no slippery residue and dries fairly quickly. (Footnote: it also just did a marvelous job when I needed to slide some tough rubber seals onto a vintage car body I was rebuilding). I mounted the tire with the color balancing dot placed next to the valve stem of the inner tube. Along with the new tire, I installed a "Counteract Pre-Balanced Motorcycle Inner Tube - MKT-06 (5.00/5.10-18)" from amazon.com. Even with more Bead Slick applied, it took a few good shots of compressed air, inflating the tire to 60 PSI, before it popped into its proper place on the rim. But then it lined up evenly. Using a home-made stand for balancing my tire, I was amazed to find that the wheel was almost perfectly balanced. It only took one very small spoke-mounted balancing weight to take out the small remaining amount of imbalance. The Counteract inner tube really seems to be an improvement over other, lower cost tubes I've used on other bikes in the past. The first test ride was a full success, the "squirrel" is gone, and I have in the meantime put more miles on the bike at city as well as highway speeds with no wobbles or vibrations. The BT46, in the larger 140mm width, appears to be an excellent upgrade for the Royal Enfield 650 INT. It's not a cheap tire but pays for itself with the improved safety and ride quality. ... show more

Great tire, great price
Size: 100/90-18 (11661)
Great tires for my Royal enfield interceptor and very well priced, too. I've bought these a couple of times now, and in both instances, the tires arrived in good condition, with very recent manufacturer dates. These were a big improvement over the OEM tires on my bike and seem to last for about 10k miles (riding styles may vary) ... show more

2013 GL1800 - front tire
Size: 130/70-18 (63H)(11656)
I have a 2013 GL1800 and have recently went to the Dark side (rear and front). This tire works great as the front tire on the GL1800. The tire is maybe 6-8mm wider than the Avon Cobra I had been using. I had no problems fitting this tire onto the bike and so far i am very happy. I installed this tire in the "normal rotation" direction. I agree with others this is probably better for water control in the tread grooves. If you compare the tread pattern of the BT46 it is very close to the original Bridgestone G709 front tire. 1000 miles so far. I use centramatic balancers and the new tires are smooth as silk when riding. ... show more

Put these tires on my 2022 Triumph Bonneville in 2024 and they really made a difference in the ride. They still look new after 3000 miles, they wear even and seem very tough, no flats.

Trike Conversion Rear tire on Front
Size: 130/80-17(65H)(11632)
Replaced a MichCommander3 130/80 17 on a 2017 Ultra Classic converted to Motor Trike. Did the research and found most of the GW owners use the BT 46 (was 45) rear on the Front, reversing the direction of rotation. Didn't see many Tri-Glide users with this and found the stock TriGlides have 16" front and 15" rear (Milwaukee M8 years)... My Motor Trike has 17" Front and 17" Rear (custom) 245/45 17 (low profile). This set up may have contributed my problem. The dealer mounted this in the reverse direction as many others do ( maybe "most" others with trikes). On the first ride, the front end seemed to have a 'new' shimmy at higher speeds (50 - 65mph). Next few rides I encountered mild to scary Speed Wabble (left/right alternating fork compression) at 50 or 60 when there was light down force (accel) and ripples in the road. A little brake or left-right steer would stop it. Some more research found others with similar, but at lower speeds. A few commenting lower tire pressure helps (lowered mine to 35, then 30 - no change). Others say they always mount in normal rotation to prevent 'vibration' on their customer's bikes/trikes. Had my rotation switched back to normal and the wabble is gone. Road solo and 2 up for a few 100+ mile trips, various conditions. Still good. Settled on 35 psi as these side walls are thick and stiff ( a rear), which 'seemed' to feel a little better in the tight turns. The zig zag tread pattern in the tire's center doesn't seem to be "directional" (for water). Trikes don't lean so don't see a handling issue in the rain. Hope this helps if you have a similar set up. I'm happy with the tire, thick, deep, centered tread. ... show more

This was on my '22 Honda Goldwing to allow me to go double darkside. It is a terrific tire that I so far have gotten 35,830 miles out of and will likely be at 36,000 by the time the replacement gets here. And that is 10,130 miles after putting a plug in it from a flat tire on Aug. 8th, 2025.
