| Pros: |
I was caught out in three thunderstorms during the summer months and the Storms were superb wet tires. I've ridden in cold conditions recently (below freezing temperatures) and the tires seemed to have decent grip. I like the tread pattern. |
| |
|
Cons: |
The rear is wearing much faster than the front (not unexpected) and looks to need replacing at a ratio of 2:1. The rear wore very quickly when I was loaded heavy for a 6-day trip. |

| Pros: |
Good response. Outstanding tire in the rain. Wears very well. Smooth and quiet ride. |
| |
|
Cons: |
Not as confidence inspiring in tight high-speed cornering as I'd like, but that might be a good thing. It's a wee bit narrower than other brands I've used. |

| Pros: |
Even and long wearing (especially compared to the OEM stones) and super sticky. |
| |
|
Cons: |
Technically the Storms are NOT officially approved for the ST1300 but are rated for both the speed and the weight. |
| |
These are much quicker steering than the OEM Bridgestones and feel a bit twitchy on the slab but are sweet, sweet, sweet in the twisties and on the track. VERY CONFIDENCE INSPIRING when heeled completely over! I've run almost 30K miles on two sets and they've been absolutely stellar! The typical rear tire life-span usually includes around 400 miles of track days, 500 miles of extreme parking lot practice, 3K miles of twisties and 6K miles of fully loaded super-slab. |
