Enfield Interceptor Bridgestone Tyre change plus Man Bag

Hi All
Its time for an unscheduled tyre change on the interceptor, two punctures and annoying tramlining forced me to shed some rubber.#royalenfield #interceptor650

Just changed to Bridgestones Battlax for my Interceptor after having difficulty getting my usual Avon Roadrider 2's. In the dry the Bridestones are as good as the Avons but we'll have to wait and see if they're good in the wet and what the longevity is

What’s tram lining when it’s at home?

hi
so when riding on roads that may have slight rutted surface or grooves running parallel the bike has a tendency to follow, a bit like getting caught in a trams tracks.

@@theartisanrider472 ah ok, makes sense 😊

Snap. Just put a set of these on my Hunter 350. Immense improvement over the CEAT. No more tramlining. Very stable at speed. Cornering confidence, even feel more suple over bumps and seem to roll better. Recommended.

Feeling the same - my tyres on my Bonneville 7,600 miles and feeling worn. I had the Bridgestones BTs on my old Bonneville and people used to complain about them but I used to to think were stable and always felt they were good in the wet. Now wondering what I’ll pop on the bonnie (probably next year) - I think the stick Pirelli’s will go.

Try Avons

Thanks for review, got the same bike with Ceat tyres and never had such bad tramlining on any bike in over 40 years of riding! I know the roads are in a dreadful condition but at certain times it feels like I've a puncture as the bike is just wandering... most disconcerting 😮. Will definitely try Bridgestone soon!

[@theartisanrider472]

ha, yes i thought my frame had snapped the first time i went on the M25 near cobham, as its concrete surface there and full of fine tramlines. the Bridgestones certainly cured all that and more.

Thanks for sharing,and looks like a big gain. I may do the same. I presume a professional fitter carried out the change?

[@theartisanrider472]

yes indeed, i use billys in pulborough for the tyres. that profile change on the front was a good call by them.
