I agree they should be fine. Nothing but chasing the front wheel come august. Still running the semi til then.

 

Enjoy those great riding roads up in Connecticut, I'm up there quite often during riding season. A short (depending on traffic) ride for me over the Bridge...

 

secondaries are in much better shape than the highways.
But I face a 20-30 minute ride to get to them in the first place. I stay off the interstates anyways.

 

I have had them on my RGS for about 10k miles. I like them a lot. The handling is surpurb. Except, at that mileage, the front starts to be noisy in curves, and will need to be replaced before the rear. My next set will be Michelin, even though they are way more expensive. I saw a review from an English expert that lists the Michelin #1 and Bridgestone #2. I went with Bridgestone due to cost savings.

 

jacarruth, can you find the review you mentioned and share?

 

I’m glad this old thread got brought back up since I’m tire shopping again. I will probably try the H50 this year.

 

I installed them on my t.road glide last year. So far, I like them. I have about 8000 miles on them. No loss of any control.

 

ahhh the wonders of google search.
In my case. The indie who ultimately installed the tires. Had a hand in the exhumation of said thread. Seeing the h50’s are a stocked item and me trying to learn more of the tires in general.

 

I absolutely loved the American elites I had, but when the rear started to crack with less than 5k,I decided to go replace it with a Bridgestone. The ride, handling, and durability all seem very good - better than most.. The only downside is that when it rains, I feel like I am on skates. Even light applications of the rear brakes send the ABS into a hissy fit.

 

I always take it easy in the wet........the oil an residue in the street alone would send the tackiest tire into a glazed donut....
