Description

The Bridgestone Battlax BT46 is set to replace the iconic Battlax BT-45. Since its introduction 22 years ago, the Battlax BT-45 has been the go-to tire for touring. Now, Bridgestone has upgraded this design with modern technology. Wet performance has been upgraded from the BT-45, with no impact on the predecessor's well known dry handling performance and wear resistance.

  • Nice tire Bridgestone

Nice tire to send to Ecuador for royal Enfield interceptor

  • 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

  • Could be your best Pick

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
