Bridgestone BT45's

[Big Mac]

I have decided to take the opportunity to change my tyres whilst my T700A is in having SS spokes . I read on here the BT45's are a decent choice if riding on road at all times so have decided to go for them, although when i went on to

Online Tyre Warehouse - Online Tyre Warehouse

I noticed the tyre sizes quoted on the transalp specifications brings up a tyre called a BT45 bonneyville for the front but there is a choice for the rear with both BT45 ad BT45 bonneyville listed, is the bonneyville the correct tyre ?

You wont be disappointed with your choice. These tyres get an excellent review, are relatively cheap and will pass the 11 thousand mile mark. Also I believe they are dual compound for those long straights. I am fitting them to my XL700TA. Just enter Bridgestone BT45 into google. Must admit bonneyville is a new one on me.

Bt45s are great used them on my @ 4000+miles from rear tyre and 5000+ from front tyre,
I now have a continental Go on the back and think its better than the BT45 was

i have bt45's on my teapot(gsxf) and they are a great tyre but i dont know what they'd be like on the alp even though I've seen transalps with them on i imagine they'd work well but slightly spoil the aesthetics of a 'traillie'

personally I found pirelli scorpions to be a massive improvement on the stock trailwings....

I have BT45's on my 650 and do like them, agree with Pale Rider they are a lot better than trailwings if you are only on the road. Better grip and better lifespan as well. I do fancy trying the Pirelli Scorpians and may stick them on when due to change.

got BT45s on the 600.. even did some mild forest tracks on the national with them recommended

got scorpion trails on the XLV nice.......

the BT45 is a dual compound road tyre.. hard wearing centre with a softer edge compound.. great road tyre

best looks? the TCK 80 but these can square off real quick if your motorway mile munchin so the BT45s are a very good high milage road tyres and good performance wet or dry

late response, just scanning the site while I consider my next bike...

BT45 bonneyville: that's just a BT45 specifically approved by Triumph for their Bonneville range.
