Bridgestone A41

[steveg]

My original Bridgestone A41s have done 12500 miles , so needed a replacement set

I was going to try a different tyre , but to be honest the A41s have been so good and have great life decided to buy another set

New tyres feel so good

Cheers Steveg

I have these on my Triumph Tiger 1200 and they are a superb tyre. I find (compared to the Metzeler Next's it came with O/E) that they turn more eagerly but at the same time hold a very precise line around corners. Very stable in a straight line, even when fully loaded and in cross winds. Wet & dry grip is superb and they don't seem to tramline or be too bothered by mastic banding or white lines. I will also have another set (very soon) but the big tigger eats them to the tune of 5,000 miles front & rear...

Compared to other tyre munchers I've had I'm thrilled to bits

Just replace my A41's with another set of A41's. You just can't fault them

Just replaced my old A41s... Couldn't afford a new set so I had to downgrade

Had A41s on mine, couldn't argue with A40s@£108 a pair, an A40 now on the front after a trip to France; it feels slightly harsher on mild off road/RUPPs no real difference on the road for me.

There are some cracking bargains knocking about for the A40's, makes it a no-brainer really

Well, almost time for me to replace these A41s, which were fitted around 2.5 years ago. So far, I've had almost exactly 9000 miles out of them and the rubber is still nice and soft (unlike the previous set that had gone hard and almost like plastic, causing juddering through the forks when I was leaning into corners).

And I reckon I still have 1000 miles of legal tread left in these... so seems like a no brainer to get the same again. Unless there's a cheaper option that is as good?

I've not been on the forum for a while but just had to review these tyres.
I bought my DL650 last November,it had a new pair of A41s fitted before I picked it up.
I've just had them changed at SMD tyres in Leigh Lancs for a new pair of the same tyres last week after 10,000miles! They still had 2mm left on the tread centre and wore similarly front and rear with lots of tread left on the shoulders.
I could've got another 1000miles out of them but as it's coming bad weather and I ride year round I thought I wouldn't risk running them down further.
Previously on other bikes I've had Michelin PR4/5/6s and only got 6,500miles max and B/stone T31/32s with 9,000miles max
The A41s are fantastic tyres never had a slip or squeaky bum moment,thoroughly recommended!
