No Human in the history of Earth has made such a concise and practical video about 4 different motorcycle tires. I am really thinking that Ryan with FortNine is an alien. I can barely process all the information he conveyed. I spent 2 days reading about tires, but learned more from this 8 minute video. Thanks Ryan!

Most accurate review for touring tires on youtube. Period.

I was thoroughly impressed with the T30 EVO in the rain, could not believe the grip and confidence this tire instilled. Thank you Bridgestone for salvaging my first trip to the tail of the dragon during a

Just got some Michelin Road 5 for my FJR. What a difference. Handles so smooth, less vibration, hugs road so quietly. Very happy with.

Your tire reviews have been excellent. Great work!

Been shopping for tires for a few weeks. Seemed that the more reviews I viewed, the more confusing it became. Your videos make it MUCH easier to decipher. I come away with a good understanding and better prepared to make my decision. Many thanks. Subscribed

Hello Ryan, I have been enjoying your channel for about a month now. Appreciate all the work you put into bringing us great content. I had to take a break from riding for quite a few years, but picked up a 2005 FJR1300 a month ago. Now I am needing to put some new bands on it and trying to figure out what I need for a heavy bike and my heavy weight

I´ve been waiting anxiously for the 2018 edition of this video man!, Cheers from Colombia.

Amazing review. Detailed, technical, straight to the point, excellent production! I am a fan! I end up watching reviews of products I don't even like thanks to you!

I got a set of the Battlax Evos for my MT-01 a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the advice. The bike feels much more confidence-inspiring than it did on the stock tyres.

[BikingChap]

Really impressed with your reviews especially the tyre ones as it points out not just a winner but the relative strengths to help you pick the right one. Any chance of an updated review for 2019 season though? Many thanks.

This is the second video of yours I've watched. You're good at this. You have a good sales public speaking personality. Keep it up

I have the Angel GTs on my Daytona. I've been amazed by how evenly it's wearing down and now I know why thank you +FortNine. Anyway, they handled fairly well when it rained lightly enough to ride this past winter/spring

Great review. It's the Bridgestone Battlax T30 Evo for me.

[chrisshaw]

Hey, Ryan! I took your suggestion and bought the Metzeler Roadtec 01! What a great tire! The best word to describe the ride is "plush"! It is so smooth! The only drawback I have seen so far is that i have lost 3-4 mpg compared to my worn PR4. I'm not sure why but the ride quality easily makes up for this one negative.

Thanks again, Ryan!

Great reviews. Bridgestone T30's came stock on my 2015 Versys 1000. They have been the best cornering tires I have ever owned. The front (17 inch wheel) is wearing at the same rate as the rear. On pace to get about 6K miles on the set. I'll be buying them again. You know your tires.

[JosephHelbing]

Most of the videos that you and your team put out are top notch. The bike reviews are a bit too artsy and short on information, but they trade that for being entertaining. The gear guides, and various other videos you guys make though are spectacular. Keep up the good work!

[ThaKenMan]

Great timing on this video as I'm about to replace the tires on my VFR 800. Keep up the great work everyone!!

Huge fan of the Metzeler Roadtech 01's. So far great in wet and cold with lots of grip. Feels slightly better than Michelin Road Pilot 3's I had previously installed in turns.
