Hi folks, my 2021 V7 850 Stone Centenario has 4000 miles on it and the rear OE Dunlop is getting worse on damp roads and road imperfections, tramlining increasingly. I had the traction control kick in accelerating out of a village on a straight, damp road the other week so I think it’s time for fresh tyres.
Appreciating that they have their fans, I found the Dunlops ok for the first 2000 miles or so but they started tramlining after that so I’m looking at Bridgestones. They have the (crossply?) BT46 (available in 100/90 - 18 and 150/70 - 17) and (radial?) T32 (available in 110/80 - 18 front 150/70 - 17 rear). The T32 isn’t available in the Guzzi’s recommended 100/90 - 18 size but (according to the internet) some riders have fitted 110/80 - 18 fronts.
Has anyone tried either of these, and if so how do you find them compared to the OE Dunlops? Alternatively, what tyres have other members had success with on their V7 850s?
