NEED A BETTER TIRE THAN BRIDGESTONE

my 06 stratoliner dose the same thing i have found that the oil on the dipstick cant be lower then 2/3 down on hashmarks... if it stalls i top off the oil.. i cant find an oil leak...

Switching to Goodyear is not going to change anything maybe a softer ride. Bridgestone makes a good tire. You might try Tire Rack.com for more options if you need tires.

Hello. Welcome to FixYa. Please allow us to assist you.

In a word, finding tires that will handle snow and ice, and last for 45,000 miles is a difficult task.

Tires that perform better in the snow are traditionally 'softer' tires, and are not going to last 45,000 miles, due to the inherently softer tread composition..

We here recommend Bridgestone "Blizzak" winter tires. We have found their performance on snow to be simply tremendous. I would get come Blizzaks installed if I were you.

Thanks for choosing FixYa today.

Did you change anything ... like putting stuff in a saddle bag? Different boots? Have you cheked air pressure in the tires? Are you sitting on the bike differently?

I'm leaning to tire pressure or uneven front tire wear and it does not have to be a lot of uneven tire wear to act in thismanner.

Please my friend, get this looked at by your Yamaha professional

For riding 2 up I recommend 38 front and 42 rear. Some riders have commented on some front wobble corrected by putting the front to 40 psi.

I have a roadliner and have the same problem,they only offer two differant bad tires for our bikes,the dunlop and the bridgestone,you could bump up to a 200/55/17 it will fit and wont change the geometry of the bike.I have been waiting for avon to make tires to fit the bike.I havent heard of the conversion to an 18in tire,will have to look into this.

I make about ± 18000km a year with one pare of tires. I always use Bridgestone, becauce in Belgium the weather isn't so good, (rean)And i always chance then in november just before the winter begins.

The Bridgestone Excedra tire for the Suzuki C109RT is a 240/55-16 which may be a little taller than stock. There are only three motorcycle tires that will fit the Rocket III Standard and Classic, as baggage1 stated. The Metzeler ME88 Marathon 240/50-16, the Avon Cobra 240/50-16, and the Bridgestone above. I haven't found the Bridgestone commercially available yet, but you may check with a Suzuki dealer. The only other choice is the dark side.. car tires.. Which do work very well.

where did the tyres wear if it was on the inside, outside, or sides only sounds like you need a wheel alignment.
