I have a 2022 Yamaha TW200 with this front tire. I rode about 30 miles today and had 3 rather unexpected instances where the tire washed out while turning. I was able to catch it all 3 times and not lay the bike down. I've learned to be extremely cautious around loose dirt and rutted roads while running this tire. I was not going fast or being aggressive (10-20mph). Maybe fine for pavement riding but I find this tires seriously lacks sidebite for offroading. I will be getting a Shinko SR244 before I do much more dirt riding with the TW200 because of the poor performance of Bridgestone TW31 tire.

Good product. Tire markings indicate that it was manufactured less than a year before i received it.

I got this for use on a TW200. It is the OEM tire on the bike. Plenty of other riders disparage the 'Death Wing' as it's nick named. I was reluctant to buy the tire because of the plentiful bad opinions.Granted, I have only several hundred miles on it, but I have yet to find fault with it. I do pretty much follow the bike manual's inflation specification, running 17psi on dirt. Maybe others try to run too high a pressure? Even at 20psi, front-end tracking/suspension is bad. At the full asphalt pressure spec (22psi), this tire on dirt would be horrid.That is not the tire's fault. It is operator error. Or maybe an inaccurate pressure gauge.Pressure matters. The front-end on my dirt bike is completely different from 12psi to 13psi. My street bike is altogether different running 36 or 38.'Which tire is best?' is maybe close to asking 'Which oil is the best?' Opinions abound.Given that proper pressures are applied to the conditions, the only thing wrong with this tire is it's not cheap.
