I am loving my Bridgestone BT-39R's... While not the greatest wet/rain tire, it's a solid performer on dry tarmac.

Hmmm sound pretty good !
I just want some really really good ones, wich will perform for high speeds, and great cornering etc getting knee down.

People have been using the BT45s for years, it's a great all-rounder.

BT39 and 39SS are slightly better in the dry, but take longer to warm up imo.

Definitely the Bridgestone BT45's they were superb for the NSR, they coped great in the wet but were great in the dry as well. The bike literally was glued to the road with them, I never once had a slip with the BT45's I had on mine.

Lol! Sorry but you can ride the bike at 70mph plus on any tyre, hell even the continentals I had which cost next to nothing were fine at 70. The tyres are fine from cold, I believe you will never have issues with a 125 and cold tyres unless you are literally burning it from the word go, and then performing an E stop. But even then the act of accelerating would be more than enough for them.

Got my exhaust down (underside on a weird camber road) with BT45's. Never ever had a problem with grip. Thumbs Up

I had the front slide in the wet a few times, but my I was maybe going a bit too fast, and the rear slide on white lines but thats expected. Also locked the rear under down shifting in the wet.


In the dry they seem to grip well from the start and last a reasonable time, front was very responsive and I never felt rear spin up on good tarmac.

But this was on a 2 stroke 80cc putting out a proven 12bhp.

Yup, they didn't last that long, got 6000 from the rear and about 10000 from the front. They are average tyres, but when I switched to BT45's I really noticed, the bike felt totally different and my confidence increased 10 fold easily.

I have it on my gixxer, before i had bt20, not many problems with those either but i think continental are better overall and will last longer and probably best looking tyres on the market
