Bridgestone Exedra Bias 170/80HB15 Cruiser Tyre Rear - Tubeless

The Bridgestone Exedra Max is the brand's cruiser and touring tyre, and this 170/80HB15 fitment is the rear tyre for larger-capacity cruisers running a 15-inch rear rim. It uses a bias-belted, tubeless construction with a compound and tread pattern developed to balance long mileage, wet and dry grip, and all-day comfort.

The belted carcass is built to keep handling predictable on heavy machines, including when loaded up or riding two-up, while the tread pattern helps clear water from the contact patch. It suits riders covering long distances on Japanese and American-style cruisers who want stable straight-line manners and steady, controllable steering rather than a sport-focused tyre.

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre technician — bias-belted tubeless tyres need correct bead seating and the right equipment.
Check that the size, load index and speed symbol suit your motorcycle before fitting, and follow the fitment guidance in your owner's manual.
As a tubeless tyre, it requires an undamaged, corrosion-free tubeless rim and a sound valve; replace the rim valve at every tyre change.
Observe the rotation direction arrow and any "rear" marking on the sidewall when fitting.
Ride gently for the first stretch after fitting, avoiding hard acceleration, heavy braking and deep lean angles until the tread surface has scuffed in and grip has settled.
Check pressures cold, at least fortnightly and before long rides, using the pressures specified by your motorcycle manufacturer for solo, pillion and loaded conditions.
Inspect regularly for cuts, bulges, embedded stones or nails, uneven wear and sidewall damage, and monitor tread depth against the tread wear indicators and your state's legal minimum.
Have any puncture assessed professionally — do not attempt sidewall or shoulder repairs, and treat a run-flat or badly deflated tyre as unserviceable.
Clean with mild soap and water only; keep petrol, oils, brake fluid, solvents and silicone-based dressings off the tread and sidewalls.
Store unfitted tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat and electric motors that generate ozone.
Do not exceed the tyre's load or speed rating, and avoid mixing tyre types or brands front-to-rear unless it is approved for your motorcycle.
