Tyre wear & handling?

[xXGIBBOXx]

I have a set of Bridgestone battle axe 023s on my cb400 . They are down to about 2/3s wear and a bit slidey . And feel like my shinkos did on my 250 . Slidey on top, grip on the side .Is this the norm for dual tyre ?

Your suspension all good? So you're spinning the wheel accelerating and braking makes it skid? But you have no loss of grip in corners?

I have the same tyre in the wet on some surfaces they do move about a bit, on straits only, I found they improved with a bit lower tyre pressure, I assume they were running to cold?

Pies would make you heavier, but red bull gives you wings. So they should cancel each other out right?

I had a CB400 and ran Battleaxe BT56 Fs on it

My records show I got 18500km out of the front one and 21800km out of the rear one. They did wear in the middle eventually but not slidey bad. You know ho many ks on the tyres?

so these tyres are dual compound and felt ok when were new/full tread?

Are they the tyres that came on the bike? Have you checked there age? On the side of them is a 4 number date code which shows the date they came out of the mold.

My Hornet came with Pilots that looked ok but were nasty to ride. I checked the date code to see they were both 07 tyres. Changed out and now all is good.
