Bridgestone - 122971 - Exedra G709 Touring Radial Front Tire, 130/70R-18

GOOD, proven front tire for GL1800s, and F6bs.

I've purchased this same brand and type of tire several times in the past; I've never been disappointed! While obviously not a sport bike tire, it sticks pretty well in the rain and hard (as hard a GoldWING can) corners. It's fairly quiet as it wears, and I've not experienced a lot of cupping--at least in the past few years. I've heard people claim 16K miles on this front tire, but I usually get about 11-12 K miles, and that's with diligent monitoring of air pressure.Read full review

Two thumbs up.

I’ve put over 300,000 miles on these tires. Each one averaged around 15,000 miles before hitting the wearbars. They really hold the road in all conditions except for snow and ice.

Great brand of tire!

I've used Bridgestone a lot and haven't had an issue with them. This one is supposed last a long time for a cruiser, that remains to be seen. The tire was mounted and balanced without any issues. The tire tech said he didn't even have to change the weights on the rim and it balance out perfectly on the first try. For far so good!Read full review

Too early to tell.

Tire looks fine and installed well, but it is way too early to tell how good it is since I have only ridden about 5 miles on it to be sure it was balanced ok. I really will not know if was a good value until I can see how many miles I get out of it before it has to be replaced. So, I am neutral on that assessment at this point in time.Read full review

A Fine Tire!

The listing had described this tire as having been made in 2013. The tire I received was made in 2015. A perfectly fine, brand new tire, with plenty of time left on its life. It installed fine, and it balanced out perfectly, as you would expect. I will purchase again when I need it, and I will share with my other Gold Wing acquaintances and friends.Read full review

A good wearing front tire

The Exedra Front is very good but the rear Exedra for the similar model got quite poor longevity, I was disappointed as it lasted a couple thousand miles less than the front.
