Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T33 — 120/60ZR17 Front

The Battlax Sport Touring T33 is Bridgestone's current-generation premium sport touring tire, built as the direct successor to the T32. It uses CAP&BASE shoulder construction, pairing a high-grip compound on the upper shoulder with a high-stability, abrasion-resistant compound on the lower shoulder and center to balance grip with mileage. The rear tire adds Bridgestone's MSB (Mono-Spiral Belt) construction, a single continuous belt strand wrapped with no overlapping seams or joints, which Bridgestone states reduces weight and heat buildup while increasing stability and shock absorption. Silica Rich compound is used on the front and Silica Rich EX on the rear, refined using Bridgestone's NanoPro-Tech molecular-level material control. Bridgestone positions the T33 to retain the T32's handling and wet/dry grip while extending tread life for long-distance touring riders.

• CAP&BASE construction: high-grip compound on the upper shoulder, high-stability abrasion-resistant compound on the lower shoulder and center, balancing grip and mileage
• MSB (Mono-Spiral Belt) construction on the rear: a single continuous belt strand wrapped circumferentially with no overlapping belts, seams, or joints, for lighter weight, more stability, reduced heat generation, and higher shock absorption
• NanoPro-Tech: controls tire material microstructure at the molecular level
• Silica Rich compound (front tire only)
• Silica Rich EX compound (rear tire only)
• 3LC+CAP&BASE construction (rear tire only)
• HTSPC construction (rear tire only)
• Positioned by Bridgestone as the successor to the T32, retaining its handling/grip while improving wear life
