Anyone try the Bridgestone H50 tires on their bagger yet?

The reviews I've read on them are positive. Bridgestone makes decent tires, I'd have no problem using them.

I wish these were available last fall; I'd have tried them over the MCIIs that I'm currently running. I priced them on Revzilla, and they're VERY comparably priced to the Michelins. Alas, I hope to NOT need to try them for a couple of seasons.

In a couple articles about the Bridgestones, the author referenced Bridgestone stating these tires had a "direct competitor" (claiming more mileage, better grip), but Bridgestone's legal team didn't let them identify said company...I'm guessing the H50 is set to go toe-to-toe with the Michelin Commander II.

If you need new tires give them a try. If I needed a set right now I probably would.

I’m strongly thinking about it. They have a rebate going until the end of the month but haven’t released a 21” yet.

I have them on my Road King currently. I put about 12k miles on them right now and I think they have another 3-5k miles left on them for the rear. The front can easily got 20k plus. I still have the front's on. The only thoughts I have on this is good. They track well you can definitely ride these to the limit. My floorboards are scraped up, but after looking at my tires, there is plenty of chicken strips left over. So you can definitely lean even further then the bike is intended to do.

Overall, they are pretty solid set of tires. These haven't let me down one bit. I would buy them again especially the rears still look good after 12k miles.


I didnt realize that this thread was from 2018. but they are solid tires
