ブリヂストン BATTLECRUISE H50: sizes and matching bikes

Type: Cruiser ／ Street legal

About this tire

Bridgestone’s line is “bringing US V-twins into a comfortable cruising space.” Aimed at cruisers, and Bridgestone states the rear’s wear life is substantially up on the previous product. It carries sizes other road tires do not — 120/70ZR18, 130/60B19, 130/90B16 among them.

Across the six axes, Life sits at 5 and Sport at 2. A tire set up to be good at some things and to give up others. Of the 30 tires in the Cruiser group, 6 carry 5 for Life. 12 front sizes and 12 rear, mostly 17-inch.

Our rating (1–5)

OE sizes can differ by model year and market — the sidewall of your own bike is the sure reference. This is a Japanese-market lineup; the sizes themselves are international.

How to read this

• The 1–5 ratings are our own estimates. Not manufacturer figures, not measurements.
• Within one model, character and street legality both change with the size and the spec. Confirm with the manufacturer or a dealer before you buy.
• Shop links go to search results rather than product pages. Other sizes and older models will be mixed in.
• “Narrower” means one or two steps below the OE size. The “rim width OK” badge means the tire maker's published rim widths line up with the OE rim width; no badge means unconfirmed.
• Competition tires may not be used on public roads.
