I just opened my October 2013 Cycle World and saw a 2013 FJR in the Bridgestone ad. I read further, and they're talking about the new Battlax T30 -- never heard of that. I went to their web page, and it appears they've not heard of it yet either. I wonder if that'll be a BT023GT replacement or an additional choice.
I've got 6600 miles on a set of BT023GTs and still have 4/32" tread left. I'm truthfully surprised at the life; I'd worried about even making 6000 miles on the set. To have 4/32" left is very surprising. I wonder how long they'll last now that I'm back to Arkansas twisties. I need to go find out.
I've been well pleased with the handling and wet weather performance so far, but the miles have mostly been pretty conservative touring miles. The bottom of the rear tire is kinda square because of all the interstate. The OEM BT023s were gone at 3400 miles, but at least the profile was still round
