Yamaha Aprilia rsv4 factory Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Bridgestone Battlax BT 023 given 74% (180-55-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 10500 average miles
These tires came fitted as standard on my Yamaha FJR. I noted in 2023 these tires are not the latest in technology but nevertheless quite impressed with it. I frequently use the bike on commutes of up to 200km a day and most of that commute on a highway. Even when the weather gets rough, it has proven to be a capable tire. Took it on several long tours and after about 12,000km, it started to become more wobbly. Especially bad when you have one hand on the wheel. It would regain its composure after having 2 hands on the handle.

After 10 months, 16,837km, later the rear tires were well worn to the point I can see wires. This is not bad considering it is not a GT spec. I felt it was more wobbly than ever just before the end of its life. I decided to replace them with Michelin Road 6 GTs. Boy, those are a whole new level. Initial impressions were it felt stickier in corners and more keen to carve corners.

Overall, I rated the Bridgestones highly but knowing T32s are out there, my money would be going to the T32s over BT023.

Writing about the Michelin City Grip 2 given 83% (120-80-14-)
Driving on for 12000 miles
So , its third time when im replaying tyre
First set of stock tyres was awful, I replaced them with city grip 2 after a month .
So tyres in front made around 13k miles , front of tricity is quite heavy due to suspension so they wear out quicker
Rear around 17k

Im daily driving with 30kg of tools so this may have a small impact but maybe 10% more.

They need 5min to warm up to be super sticky,
In wet its good not great, i can only comare them with stock ..

Writing about the Pirelli Angel GT given 90% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
I have these on my 2011 Aprilia rsv4 factory and for wear these are buy far the best tyres I have had. Had them on for 5000 miles and no where near the end of there life.road feel is good but never going to be as good as a sport tyre, great in the wet and inspire confidence. if you are looking for a long life tyre that you can push to the limit on occasions I would 100% recommend these.
