Bridgestone Battlax BT46 — 140/70-18 Rear

The Bridgestone Battlax BT46 is a bias-ply touring tire that replaces the long-running BT45/BT45V as Bridgestone's premier bias-ply option in this category. It's built for all-around riding, from everyday commuting to long-distance touring on winding roads, and fits a wide range of touring, cruiser, and classic-style sport motorcycles. The rear tire uses a Silica Rich compound processed with RC Polymer (NanoPro-Tech) technology to improve wet-weather grip without giving up the tire's dry handling or wear life. Most sizes are tubeless (TL); select sizes are also built to work on tube-type rims. Front sizes run from 90/90-18 up to 120/80-16 and rear sizes from 110/80-18 up to 150/80-16, offered in both H (130 mph) and V (149 mph) speed ratings.
