The Bridgestone Exedra Max EA1 is a radial rear tyre in 180/70VR16, developed primarily for Japanese cruisers and the kind of riding they do best — long highway stints, two-up weekends and steady touring kilometres. Its construction, tread pattern and compound are matched to heavier cruiser machines, with the aim of holding a stable line at touring speeds while keeping ride comfort high.

Riders stepping up from a worn OE fitment will notice the emphasis on controllability rather than outright sharpness: predictable steering, settled straight-line manners and even wear over distance. It is a tubeless fitment and is sold as a single rear tyre, so pair it with a matching front for balanced handling.

Radial construction for stability at sustained touring speeds
Size 180/70VR16 with 77 load index and V speed rating
Tubeless (TL) construction for 16-inch tubeless-rated rims
Tread pattern and compound optimised for comfort, mileage and wet/dry safety
Developed primarily for Japanese cruisers and modern cruiser geometry
Rear-fitment tyre, sold individually
A common replacement alongside Pirelli Night Dragon, Michelin Commander II and Dunlop D404 in this size

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre technician — tubeless fitment requires an undamaged, tubeless-rated rim and a sound valve, and it is good practice to replace the valve at the same time.
Check the sidewall for any directional rotation arrow and fit the tyre accordingly.
Scrub the new tyre in gently for the first stretch of riding — avoid hard acceleration, heavy braking and full lean angles until the release agents have worn off the tread surface.
Check inflation pressure when the tyre is cold, at least fortnightly and before any long ride, using the pressures specified on your motorcycle's tyre placard or in its owner's manual — not the maximum pressure moulded into the sidewall.
Do not exceed the tyre's 77 load index or V speed rating, and adjust pressures for two-up or loaded touring as your motorcycle manufacturer specifies.
Pair the rear with an appropriate matching front tyre; mixing worn or mismatched patterns can affect handling.
Inspect regularly for cuts, bulges, uneven wear and embedded objects, and monitor the moulded tread wear indicators — replace the tyre before it reaches the 1.5 mm legal minimum tread depth in Australia.
Have any puncture assessed professionally; sidewall damage cannot be repaired, and temporary plugs or sealants are not a substitute for proper inspection and replacement.
Clean with mild soapy water and rinse — avoid petrol, solvents and silicone-based tyre shine on the tread, as they can degrade the rubber or reduce grip.
Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, fuels, oils and electric motors that generate ozone.
