What do you base you opinion on? Your experience with using Bridgestone tyres? Your years of riding out here in Australia’s many conditions? Your intermit knowledge of the ED78 and its multi compound construction? Your knowledge of it history and use in the Baja 1000 on big bore motorcycles? :laugh:Wish you had told me before I bought it, because I can tick some of the above boxes and I think it will go alright but have to try it to be sure, my opinion of it is worth nothing till I test it

Please note the words I used. Did I say in my experience? No. Did I see based on historical evidence? No. To answer your question directly I haven’t based my opinion on anything. I clearly state that in my first post ‘I have a feeling‘.
I would expect it to be an amazing tyre at the price they charge for one. It should have excellent levels on grip and wear. What I said is that I reckon it won’t be worth paying the extra money for the additional benefit (if any) that you get from it.
I’m sure with all your years of experience that we all constantly hear about and your supreme knowledge of dirtbike history that my comment will be made to look fool hardy and stupid when this tyre performs so well in the conditions it’s used in that you can honeslty say that it’s ‘worth the money‘ (contrary to my statement) and this is proven by the fact that you decide to fit and run one every ride

I dont need to comment for that to happen
Look as per our recent discussion on the phone I buy / try different tyres for different conditions, I will see how this performs in the long distance mixed terrain riding that I bought it for :blink: , i wouldnt use it in the Watagans for a day I would use a S12

Unfortunately you’re not wrong.Look as per our recent discussion on the phone I buy / try different tyres for different conditions, I will see how this performs in the long distance mixed terrain riding that I bought it for :blink: , i wouldnt use it in the Watagans for a day I would use a S12
That’s great, it really is, but I only said I have a feeling it won’t be worth the money, you were the ons that has brought about this digreassion of riding type, terrain, history, my experience and foundations for my opinion.
PPE stands for piss pulling exercise Moto. Just when I think you can’t possibly impress me anmore…..TB
Love ya big guy
Well the tyre has done 100kms so far, the grip I was expecting to be about 4 to 5 out of 10, is to my surprise I reckon a 7 to 8 out of 10 and the wear is incredible. Yesterday we covered some rocky sections and a fair amount of hard pack and I was on it at time making sure my rims are able to do the job and the tyre is looking like this
Considering the some tyres I have only got 400kms out of its looking good I checked the air pressure in it when I got home and it had 10psi in it I will keep running that as it has very strong / thick case construction / punture resistance and the pressure works well
Its early days but we will see
