Last Updated : 02 July 2012 These are various tyres/tires reviews I have used on the
2nd Generation (2008-onwards) and the 1st Generation Suzuki Hayabusa (1999-2008). These are suitable for the
2nd generation Hayabusa too if you can still get them! Bridgestone BT-010 Bridgestone BT-015 Conclusion : Nice looking tyre and works and wears well. It seems more resistant to squaring off than the former BT56R's but that was nearly 10 years ago... Bridgestone BT56R J Spec
Conclusion : It was made for the Busa and it shows. Bridgestone BT56R
Conclusion : Nah try again. AVON AZARO AV36
This tyre was unashamedly bought on looks alone. The tread pattern is unique, a sort of S shaped. The tyre was rated 190 but in all honestly it looked at least 210. It looks HUGE. It has a very flat profile and quite sticky. It warms up pretty quickly. The wear pattern is very flat but hard to notice at stand still. However tread life is very LOW. 5000km max under very normal riding. Quite a stable tyre on the straight and at high speed. As the tyres got older the cornering became a tad resistant to leaning - probably due to the profile. There aren't many corners where I live so it doesn't really bother me. Due to the grippy nature this tyre was great when new. Very sticky is a best way to describe it. It's got the LOOK. I realise that the look of the tyre shouldn't matter but the fact that I have to pay $300+ for the rear tyre at least twice a year I want it to look like $300 worth as well as performing. Conclusion : If it came in J Spec I would not consider another tyre. DUNLOP D207 J Spec
Conclusion : They are OK tyres in the end however they lost a lot of rubber very quickly. Fine for just cruising around on. Other Tyre choicesThere are other suitable tyre choices too although not many with the 'made for the Hayabusa' description. Does it matter ? Check out the latest survey page for details.
