Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T32 — 140/70ZR18 Rear

The Battlax Sport Touring T32 is Bridgestone's predecessor-generation sport touring tire, released as the successor to the T31. It uses a Pulse Groove tread design, pulse-shaped grooves combined with small center deflectors that equalize and speed up water evacuation compared with a straight-groove pattern. Silica Rich compound is used on the front tire and Silica Rich EX on the rear, with 3LC+CAP&BASE dual-compound rear construction for cornering grip and stability. Bridgestone states the T32 delivers a 13% larger rear contact patch and 7% shorter wet stopping distance versus the T31, without sacrificing wear life. GT-spec sizes are offered for heavier touring motorcycles, adding stability and up to 10% more wear life.
