XV1100SE Posted November 6 #1 Posted November 6 (edited) I know the OEM Bridgestone tires weren't very good. Wondering if anyone has tried the Exedra Max. I see that the Exedra Max has the tire size for the RSV : Front - 150/80 -16 71H Rear - 150/90 -15 74H Exedra Max Cruiser & Touring Tire Edited November 6 by XV1100SE
BratmanXj Posted November 6 #3 Posted November 6 I have not tired the newest models of Exedra tires, but any bike I've ridden with that line in the past has felt like it wanted to wander. On the other hand, I've always liked the Battlax line on my performance based bikes for both muscle cruisers (RS Warrior) and Sport Tourers (Concours, FJR).
etcswjoe Posted November 6 #4 Posted November 6 I am on my second set, mileage is so so but they ride so much better than Dunlap especially in the rain.
Leland Posted November 6 #5 Posted November 6 Before I traded in my ‘06 RSTD, I found them to be the best handling tires, with the stock size front, of any tire I ever ran. The mileage was dismal for me, only about 7,000 with the front wearing out before the rear. But I accepted the poor mileage for the superior handling.
N3FOL Posted November 6 #6 Posted November 6 If I am not mistaken, I went through one set of the Exedra then I switched to Shinko 777. I did like the tires, but I was looking for the best deal and tire performance for my RSV. I did like the tires and you should be happy with them too.
etcswjoe Posted November 7 #7 Posted November 7 I just but Shinko's on my other bike for the first time, will let the group know how they do.

I'll 3rd the Shinkos as bang for the buck tires is your not a guy who rides massive miles every year. I had a 230 Tourmaster on the rear of my venture and got 9-10k miles out of it and rode great. Currently running 777 on my in-laws Stratoliner, Verge 16 on the RS Warrior and looking at the newer 999 for the next tire on the Venture. Edited November 8 by BratmanXj 1
N3FOL Posted November 11 #9 Posted November 11 @BratmanXj I got around 15K miles on the rear of 777. I accelerate smooth and don't ride too aggressive, hence, the higher mileage.
