(2009 R1) Used S22's in heavy rain and roasting hot on track then used them to commute the following day. Worked perfectly fine in all conditions.
I suggest getting the same stock tires- Thats what I do for my car 3x na sya pinalitan and same din Bridgestone - coz its what it came with and sabi nmn nila better braking and performance - and again yung yung OOB nya, natawid ng lampas gutter na baha and mabato na kalsada ng probinsya, natuyong ilog - malubak na city road.
I actually have used both the weatherpeak and cross climate 2 tires, the cliff notes are, the bridgestones are quieter and have no fuel economy penalty, they also handle better
For SUV, I prefer Bridgestone Dueler, good quality tires for offroading and highway use.
Now I’m using Bridgestone Dueler HT 840 which is also great and comfortable and more sturdy than the Khumo.
I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.
I ran them on my ZX6R up to a fast advanced group pace. Once past that, they started getting a little loose in the turns. It was pretty obvious, nothing surprising, so I had plenty of warning that I was at the limit of the tire.
I have a ‘99 Fireblade with a 16” front wheel rather than the 17” which is normal now. It is more likely to shake its head when going over a bump, banked over at high speed. It is also difficult or impossible to recover from a front wheel slide which would be recoverable on other bikes.
I wasn’t a fan of the original Bridgestones. They died an early death with just freeway driving due to a track focused wheel alignment.
