Bridgestone Exedra G852 Rear Tire — 200/55R16 M/C 77H TL

Some tires get put on a bike because they fit. The G852 got put on the Honda Gold Wing GL1800 because it could actually handle the job. Honda and Yamaha don't spec OEM rubber based on price — they spec it based on whether it can manage a heavy, fast, fully loaded touring bike across thousands of miles without letting the rider down. The Bridgestone Exedra G852 rear tire passes that test, and it shows in how the bike feels every time you ride it.

Key Benefits

True OEM engineering — compound and construction matched to the bike, not borrowed from a generic mold
Silica compound grips from the first mile, cold or warm, dry or wet
Aramid mono-spiral belt keeps the wide tread stable at speed under heavy loads
Unidirectional tread clears water efficiently — wet roads stay manageable
Radial construction runs cooler on long days, which directly extends tread life
Tubeless — a road hazard doesn't have to end your trip
H-rated to 130 mph, load rated to 908 lbs

Key Features

Radial Construction On a heavy tourer, radial is the right call. The sidewall and tread work independently — flex and heat stay separate, the contact patch stays flat and consistent, and the tire runs cooler over long distances than a bias-ply ever could. On a 600-mile day, that matters.Silica Compound Silica stays pliable across temperature swings in a way carbon black compounds don't. Cold morning start, hot afternoon pavement, unexpected rain — the G852 grips through all of it without needing time to warm up first.Aramid Mono-Spiral Belt Aramid fiber keeps the tread cap from deforming at speed under load. On a fully packed touring bike at highway speeds, that belt is what keeps the contact patch consistent and the handling predictable. Without it, wide rear tires go vague when it matters most.Unidirectional Tread The channels are oriented to pull water out from under the contact patch as the tire rolls. In wet conditions, the tire keeps gripping rather than riding on a film of water — exactly what you need when weather changes mid-ride.

Performance & Riding Experience

The G852 doesn't announce itself — it just makes the bike feel right. The rear end sits planted rather than vague, corners happen without drama, and the highway cruise is relaxed. In the wet, the silica compound keeps things predictable rather than nervous. Loaded two-up with luggage, the tire carries the weight and keeps behaving like it should. Real-world riders on heavy tourers report consistent wear well past 10,000 miles, and it doesn't go off halfway through its life — grip and handling stay honest from the first mile to the last.

Safety & Care Tips

Check pressure cold before every long ride. Use your bike's recommended PSI, not the number stamped on the tire sidewall. A few PSI low on a 200mm rear under a heavy touring bike changes how it handles and speeds up edge wear faster than most riders expect.Break it in properly. New tires have a mold release agent on the surface that needs to wear off. Keep lean angles conservative and avoid hard braking for the first 100 miles. It's a short investment that protects both the tire and your confidence in it.Inspect the tread at fuel stops on long trips. Tubeless construction buys you time after a puncture — it won't go flat immediately — but a nail sitting in the tread is still a slow leak that gets worse the longer you ignore it. Ten seconds at the pump can save your day.Run it with the G853 front. The G852 and G853 are developed and tuned as a pair. Mixing constructions or brands front-to-rear on a heavy touring bike creates handling inconsistencies that show up at speed when you least expect them.
