Looks good to me
Why did they put a tire on that you didn't want?

I was under the impressions I was getting a Bridgestone battle axxe because that’s what they said it was
If the would of said it a Bridgestone cruiser tire but will still work on ur bike I would of went with the Michelin Pilot power like I had on Previously

To clarify, you said "I need a new rear tire." But didn't specify what tire you wanted and they didn't ask you what tire either? I'd take it back and request that they put on whatever tire you prefer. You pay the difference in tire cost, they eat the labor.

NOT heavy enough for that hoop... unless you're near hell and have very hot roads.. go get the Pilot Power

What does it do that makes the bike handle worse? Genuinely curious.

Rear axle looks misalignment to the left (right as viewed from the back). Maybe that's a problem?

Nubs still showing halfway from the center. Get on curve and lean it.

Did you end up going back and telling them this is not the tire you wanted? I suspect the wall height is greater compared to a sport bike tire?
