- Michelin Road 6 Tires: rvz.la/3uTMbb3
Michelin have dropped the pilot from the Michelin Road 6 Tires but when you take these to the track, you’ll still feel like you’re flying. With another evolution of the Michelin Road series of tires, Michelin continues to find more life and more grip in both dry and wet conditions than previous versions. For riders that demand a long lasting tire that can make you feel like a hero on the track or the twisty back roads, there is no other option.

I would LOVE for you guys to have Zach and Arie test this tire, against the next step up in sport tires, like the famed S22, to really see just how far you can push this road 6. I can’t find any comparisons between a more touring oriented tire like this and a tire your typical aggressive sport rider with occasional track days type rider would gravitate to, like the S22. Just how far have these sport touring tires come? Let’s get a vid on it!
Yes please
Yes! I actually was debating the S22 vs the Road 5 at the start of 2021, ended up going with the Road 5 for longevity. But I want to know the grip differences!
I got just over 10,000 miles on a rear R5 on an MT-07. The front lasted over 15,000 miles.
@@StarFox31 From personal experience there is barely anything between the S22s and the Road 5s, besides the S22 having a more aggressive profile (but the road 5s are very aggressive for sport touring tyres too) there is no upside to the S22s on the street, none at all. At the track, the difference is still minimal, Road 5s are a bit easier to overheat than the S22s but you'd be hard pressed to find a fault with them unless you're Marc Marquez, and then ofc lest we forget about the 2-3x longer life of the Road 5s
A test against the ContiRoad Attack 4 would also be great
Had the Road 6 's for a month or so. They are fantastic , wet or dry the grip is amazing. Best tyres I've ever had. 👌
Even my power 5's in the rain on my 636 are phenomenal on crappy Florida roads. Only tire I've ever felt comfortable on in the rain in over 10 years and over 80,000 miles on 2 wheels.
I’ve run Pilot Power 3’s for the last nine years…Don’t do big mileage. Been caught out in rain more than a few times including a mountain hail storm and never worried about the wet traction. Need new tires this year, aging out not wear, and I think the Power 5’s will work for me and my occasional wet ride home.
The road 5s came on my Trident 660. Absolutely amazed by the performance in the rain. I rode through an absolute frog drowner of a storm with water rushing across the highway and they cut through it with no problems. I will 100% continue to put these on my bikes in the future.
Yup I agree. Had them on my ninja 400 and did the same thing. Rode thru an absolutely insane downpour going about 60 and they cut right thru the rain no problem. I won’t get any other tire now
I get them on Yamaha MT 07 2022 also and i did already 20k kilometers and i didn’t spend 1/3 of tire. I road them on highway and twisty roads, rain , motorway and other…Also doing some roll on spins and slides rear tire for fun in urban areas. They doing well and i will buy 6’s because you can trust the tire for sure.
Got a little over 8,000 miles from a pair of Road 5s on my Triumph Speed Twin. A lot of that was on the freeway; when I replaced them, they had tons of meat left on the outside edges, but the center was worn past the wear bars. They never lost traction once. On my second set now, and I know I'll be moving to a pair of Road 6 once these have worn out in a year or two.
I have had road 5s on my street triple r for two years, they have done 10k miles and probably not even half worn. They are absolutely brilliant tyres.
I absolutely love the road 5s on my Versys 650, so much grip, in any weather.
Fun fact, Michelin predict the Road 10 will only be sold to manufacturers as it will last longer than the motorcycle they come with 😁
Where’d you see that? Pretty cool wonder when we will see it
Whoosh
I doubt that. Maybe they will make a tyre that can do that but it will never have maximum traction, part of having high traction is the high friction and rubber you leave behind that sticks to the road.
Honestly they can with present technology make a tyre that will outlast the life of a motorcycle however it will have the grip of a 1960's tyre which is nowhere good enough for high performance motorcycles of today's era.
If you want a long lasting tyre honestly some of the cheap Chinese tyres last the longest however the grip on any of those is sometines borderline and other times flat out dangerous.
Double-whoosh.
@@csn583 Fun fact: Common sense isnt very common.😂😭
UK Subscriber here,
Had the PR4's on my 2003 VFR vtec, was new to biking so didn't know any better. Switched to PR5s a year later and TOTALLY transformed the bike. Absolutely amazing in the cold and wet. Got about 10-11k out of them
Today, having to put the 6's on, £350, ouch. £50 up on the 5s, so will have to see how they go.
For CA, the canyons and 95% dry conditions the Dunlop Q3'S were incredible. Now back in EU :( i use Road 5's. For all the reasons explained above, these tyres have never let me down. Lot's of trust and confidence in all conditions. 11,000 miles and still have at least 3,000 left.
Took PR4s off my BMW R110S and installed Q3s. The grip and precision were incredible.
just fittted my 12gs with these have them for 2 weeks now been in rain and dry and im most def impressed. Going through the corners is effortless riding in the rain was very stable and planted felt totally fine riding the back roads at 60mph. have my psi at 42 and feels really great.
Got 4,500 miles out of dunlops. 10,500 out of road 5's. Put road 6's on a couple weeks ago, great tires, alot of cold and wet confidence. I never worry about grip
what bike did you put these on? I changed my 5's after 10,000 miles cause they were squared flat on the rear. by far the best street tire available.
Really, wow, I’m just about to get a new front tyre for my Harley. Michelin seems the way to go then.
When you say you can see the two compounds, you can see it really good and the rear tire that's sitting on the stand. You can actually see the line where the the hard center material stops and the soft side wall material begins. It's very clear on that tire sitting in the rack
I did wet weather track day riding with Pilot Road 4 on my GSXR 750, they were great - they even survived dry weather punishing on the track with no problems
Brilliant tyres. Got these on my VFR800 VTEC 03. Instant confidences on the twisties and in the wet👌
I have Road 5s on my 09 Speed Triple and 04 V-Strom 1K. Very different bikes, but...these tires transformed both bikes. Great traction accelerating, stopping and cornering regardless of the conditions, and they are wearing incredibly well. A new bike is coming in 22 - probably S1000GT - and I'm already planning on putting 6s on it after a couple thousand miles. Very high trust factor for me. Thanks for the initial review!
Glad I found your comment, Im having 6s installed on my 2010 triple, hoping for good things
Just fitted these road 6's on my BMW f900r and so far impressed as I'm in the UK and we get a fair bit of rain these tyre's grip very well in the wet... Excellent review by the way... 👋👊👊
Love my Road 5's on my Versys 1000 and MT-09. But these will be my next 2 sets.
Tiger 1200, I have had the Road 5 both the GT and the Trail... Both lasted 10,000 miles...and they were done. I ride occasionally with a pillion and do muti-thousand mile fully loaded trips a couple of times per year. So expecting more than that on a heavier bike is not realistic. On a lighter bike, maybe so. Great grip in both dry and wet conditions. Love the tires.
I have been riding my Victory Cross Country Tour on Dunlops for years. Seeing this video, convinced me to convert to the Mich 6.
Can't wait to try 'em!
Thanks guys!👍
@tombork2281 How are they working out for ya? I have a cross country myself and thinking about pulling the trigger on the mich 6's
I have owned a multitude of cars over the last 45 years, and only once I made the mistake of buying non-Michelin tires for them. I quickly learned my lesson and never did it again. Same for my motorcycle. After the OEM Metzlers wore out, I bought Pirellis, and after 200 KM, the handling was so compromised that I threw them away for a set of Michelins, and over the last 20 years have not deviated. When you have experienced the best, it is hard to like anything else.
Switched to Road 5s after getting caught in a downpour. Watched the Road 5 reviews and went for it. Much better grip, quicker response turning in, and they really hold their feel in the rain. When my 5s finally wear out, I guess I'll be moving to 6s. If they give me 10% more life, and better wet traction and feel, so much the better.
Compared to what? What were the previous tyres on your bike and what bike do you ride?
@@ful48j Bridgestone Battlax. That's as much as I remember of them as that I swapped them out after having the bike (R1200RT) for about a year. I'm not the original owner, so they may have served the previous owners riding style better. Rainy commutes and back road touring for me feel more planted on the 5s.
@Tyler Braden Was not aware of that. That would explain why my morning commutes in the high teens were "normal" to me.
@@cliff8675 I've had Battlax (worst tire ever had on a bike), Power 5s, Pilot Power 2CT, and currently running Road 5's, w/the Road 6 going on my bike next Monday. Out of them all, the Road 5's are hands down, the best in all situations. Riding from Maine, to South Carolina and Back, getting caught in a couple extremely harsh rain storms, and held constant highway speeds of roughly 85mph without a worry in the world. From the Tail of the Dragon, to New Hampshire Kancamagus highway, to just screaming down the Northern Maine Highways at 200mph, they've taken everything I've given them, and not once made me feel uneasy. Was extremely hesitant doing w/the Road 6, as the 5's have been amazing, but hey, they say it's better all around, so I took their word for it and ordered them, and now excited for my Trip to Florida, over to Texas and back to Maine in June. For the record, 14,000 miles on the Current Road 5's, and could easily finish out the summer on them if I wanted with how much tread is left on them. No other tire has gotten me over 6k miles on my ZX14R, so with that alone, I'm extremely impressed.
@@JMackin1016 Great info!
How do you like Road 6 so far? I'm trying to decide between the road 5 and 6. I currently have Pirelli Diablo Rosso 4 tires and it's time to get new ones. Thank you, and ride safe my friend.
Road 5s are amazing.
Really transformed my xsr900.
Looking forward to trying the Road 6.
I got Road 4s about a year ago. Love them.
Road 5 series changed my mind 100 degrees about tire safety and technology. I have a spider touring . Top performance in rain at 90 . It delivers . I can’t imagine the 6 it’s gotta be amazing
Drove to Orlando yesterday on a concours 1400 in the rain and this tire truly shined. Going from dry to wet and never noticed any type of funny business. Also it stops amazingly.
I just put the road fives on my 2010 Kawasaki z1000 and they are absolutely fantastic tires. If these are an improvement I will be very impressed. Love love love my road 5 they are I'll say it again simply fantastic tires
Great detailed explanation of the true. Well done. Have Road 5 on my street triple RS but will have another rear road 5 before swapping over as the front has so much life left and I don’t want to mix 6 rear and 5 front. 👍🏻
Very helpful video. Thank you so much!
I went to my dealer today to have the road fives installed because they’re significantly less expensive than the road six and still a great tire. Well they didn’t have the road five so they upgraded me to the road six at the Road five price. Most dealerships are not going to do that for you. The pricing was very competitive with RevZilla. My dealer came in just a couple dollars cheaper but I was ecstatic to get the road six for the road five price
After 38000km (nearly 24000 miles) the Road 5's on my 2013 Honda NC700D Integra finally need replacement. (The bike with its panniers weighs about 238kg.) I could squeeze a few more kilometers out of the rear tire.
I've been using Michelin Roads since the 4, and they are fantastic. Due to the price I was tempted to look around for cheaper tires; but since my life literally depends on these I don't want to compromise on tires.
In the UK we love these for wet grip and I've used 3-4-5 in the past. I have set of 6 waiting to put on my KTM.
Gr8 vid, spurg. Ride safe, god bless u.
Been super excited for these
Cant wait to give these a go later this yr...
Just got some road 6 gt’s love them so far. Was down to the wires on my old tires
Used, and loved, Pilot Road 5 on my Ducati 696 and now I will be using the Road 6 on my current Triumph Speed Twin.
I've just put my first 100miles on the Z14 & they feel amazing! Can't wait to get back out tommorow 😉
Appreciate the review brother. I currently run Pirelli Angel GTII's on my fjr1300. I will seriouisly consider the Michelin's for my next set. At this point, the Pirelli's are performing very well in the rain and dry. keep up the great work, all the best from Oz.
I also had the Angel GTIIs on my GSR600, they're currently being replaced by the Road 6s, I can't wait to feel how they compare!
Love the road 5 it last me 3 riding season on 2005 honda cbr 600 f4i. Can't wait to test these road 6
Just got these for my XJR1300. I am very impressed after 600kms on one ride. I was on Metz Roadtec 01’s but not anymore. Nothing wrong with 01’s but the 6’s just feel so much better under load and mid corner.
This is THE tire. I have them since they are available. For wet dutch weather this is exactly what you need
The Road 5's on my Tracer are great! 5k on them and they still look brand new!
I have mounted the Road 6 on my Honda Crosstourer for a month and after 1500km I can say that they are really fantastic. Excellent comfort, excellent grip both at high and low speeds. truly a tire to make kilometers in peace without taking away the sportiness, because I must say that they are also very sporty. Greetings from San Marino and Italy
I have the same bike. Only got 6300 miles of my Road 5 tires. I'm going for the road 6. Did you buy the GT version or standard?
@@thingblaze5754 hello, I have the standard version, then I think the GT version is for other sizes, there is no Honda Crosstourer
6000 miles max front & rear on my R5s have had 3 sets. Now have R6s just waiting to go on. Best all round tyres especially wet weather of Scotland
Got the road 6 gt on my fz1n since last month. Very good tyre.
Speed Triple 955i …. Got through a set of Road 5’s and thought they were good, had a set of Road 6 for some weeks now. Amazing! Don’t think twice get them
What would be interesting is if Michelin actually told you which bikes or weight is needed for you to move from the standard tire to the GT version.
I tried to find some sort of guideline for the weight/when to equip the GT version but couldn't find anything. However, on the Michelin website it lists the available sizes of the Road 6 and Road 6 GT. So I suppose if the GT doesn't fit your bike, there's the answer - although not particularly satisfying.
@@lau5067 I had hoped to use the tire load index to figure this out myself, but the standard tires have about the same load indexes of the GT. So no real help there either.
I love my Road 5's on my Vulcan S650 sports cruiser. Excellent performance and longevity.
Bought them this year when I was on a trip to the northcape. Got the Road 4 tyres and the were worn out. It was such an improvement and could test them in the best environment in the world, Norway. All the elements were there so I could test them really well. Drove for more than 13.000km on them trough Europe. The cold, and rain in Norway and the heat in Corsica. They are perfect for the BMW R1200R and I had alway's good grip and felt save with them on te bike.

@@BikingVikingHH Cheers!!!
@@BikingVikingHH Skål mate!!!
can confirm these have improved my ride no contest; tbf i'm coming from the dealer dunlops after i purchased my bike put like 3k on them .
The 5 GT tire literally transformed my FJR 1300 from a bike I intended to sell (as I didn’t trust the handling with the Pirelli Angel GT it came with used) to I bike I really trust and totally enjoy.
Was stunningly impressed!
The Pirellis would “tram line” (follow the tar/ gravel grooves) on the chip seal secondary roads we have in Eastern WA.
Can’t wait to try the 6.
My 5s have 6K miles and still look great.
I’m guessing I’ll get another 3-5 K before they’re all done.
I just bought the 6GT and hope they are as good as the 5GT that you're using. I'm on a 2021 FJR an hour north of Spokane
have the same on my 06 fjr. Best tire in the rain, even got some of my buddies on sport bikes and they love them especially on some of these south Louisiana un expected rain showers.
Tram line? Lmao ur dumb. Those are not meant to do that unless you had them improperly inflated. I'm guessing you had them overinflated.
@@theenzoferrari458 I'm an experienced rider racer mechanic, and I trail brake a lot.
I experimented with various pressures per Dave Moss tuning if ya know who he is.
Steering head bearings swing arm bearings are good.
Suspensions tight n properly adjusted.
It obviously was the tires.
It's a heavy bike that thats hard on front tires and encourages aggressive riding.
Hi Mark, Would you put a Road 6 or an Angel GT II on my VFR 800? Back in Perth Australia I'm getting much more summer weather than Spokane! I have Pirelli Diablo Rosso III on my old CBR 900RR and they stick to the black top like wet toffee to carpet!
I'm looking forward to this tire. Used the PR5 on my old Fazer 600. Currently using Tracer 9GT and the stock Bridgestones started squaring up after 5k miles, so this PR6 sounds like a good replacement candidate :)
Just copped mines the other day!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Was more happy with the road5 tyres. They changed the pattern by meking it deeper and longer. Also they defenetly changed the profile/ angle og the tyre. More of a touring tyre now. I reccomend power 5 to anybody wanting to do something else than just touring
Once I burn through my new Power 5s I’m getting these. They have a nice mix of the Power 5 and Road 5 tread pattern without that interlocking band of tread the Road 5s have. I had a tendency to find that band in curves at the absolutely worst times.
The GT is for heavier motorcycles, but I cant find anywhere that they specify what they class as heavy.
You have to look at the load ratings of the tires on Michelin's website to find the difference
@@magicoddeffect I tried exactly this, but the load ratings are the same on the standard and GT. For instance, the 120/70ZR17 standard and GT are both rated at 58W
Just bought an FZ6 and it's rolling on Battlax BT23s, definitely going to check these out when I replace them!
Also, these look like cool cyberpunk tires which doesn't hurt
Loved the R5 on my K1300S. Knee down grip rain or shine + decent mileage given the weight and power of the bike. R6 would be my go to choice were I to move back to a large sport/sport touring bike vs. my adv bike hands down. Nice review.
Got a great 7400 miles out of my road5 on my lighter weight sport bike. Road6 earned there time on the hoops now. I have been enjoying them.
Love the 5s. Never seem to get all the life out of them as I seem to have a nail and screw magnet on my rims. They do handle great both dry and wet. I look forward to trying the 6.
If you don't already try to ride wear the other cars have their tyres go across the road.
That way you have less chance of getting a puncture as all the others cars suck that shit up for you.
I'm getting Road 6 fitted to my Breva 1100 tomorrow, can't wait to put some miles on it..
Have road 6 on cb 500 road home in a down pour yesterday and I say I have no complaints
I’m happy to see the Michelin 5GT came on my 2022 R1250 Rt rather than Metzlers. As for the 6gt those will undoubtedly be a replacement when the 5GTS have run their course.👍
I had the Road V's on my 2015 CBR1000RR which is for touring only ( non-interstate wherever possible ). I keep very detailed tire mileage records and, when I removed the V's, my projection was for a total of 15,000 miles. Pretty good but I thought it should have been slightly higher for such a light bike. But, that was still 2,000 miles more than for my Pirelli Angel GT II's and for the Dunlop Roadsmart IV's. I'll give the VI's a try for sure.
GT version of many tires are offered for “heavier” motorcycles. No one seems to reference what “heavier” means. What curb weight are GT tires recommend for? Thanks.
Have Power 5's on my Blackbird and they are unreal. My next tire is going to be a Road 6 though.
Just did a first weekend with the Road 6, loved the 5 and this seems to be up to the task, I'll do a video opinion after 1000 kms...............😎
Just put a set on my multistrada v4s, so far so good! Much better turn in and grip on the side of the tire than the stock Pirelli scorpions.
OMG i was just thinking about doing that for my V4S Multi Ive already blown through my first two sets, i stuck w/ the stock tires on the second go. But ive been doing a fare amount of off roading and camping w/ it. These tires here would prevent that. Ugh🤔
I’ve had every pilot road they’ve made (except 4, my 3’s lasted all the way until the 5 came out)
They’ve all been exceptional. I’m I Michelin road guy for life.
Sweet. I'll have to grab these next. Not a huge fan of my battle axes I have now.
Have them (Road 5) on my trident 660, currently at 13,359 miles and still have some tred left, now im super excited for the Road 6's, but also in two minds of need to go for Sport 5's
I was advised, by Michelin (at Scottish motorcycle show) to fit R5GT to my K1300R, after 800 miles it looked like pin pricks, (through to the carcass) at the bottom of the large Sipps.
Michelin Technical services advise that it should use the standard R5 not the GT version, even though it is a heavy/powerful bike.
Please check, preferably with Michelin Technical Services, that the GT is the correct/most appropriate tyre for your bike.
Nice video and the road 6 tires look like a excellent choice for my Ducati Multistrada V4S but was wondering about a top speed their rated for that the videos I've seen don't specify?
I have these tires on my bmw f900xr......these are absolutely the Michael Jordan's of street tires. I got almost 10,000 miles on my 5's ...could of went longer yet I like new rubber for every spring/summer season. 🙂
Hey Spurge, could you guys please do a video showing how they handle in wet weather conditions. I love the 5's but are the 6's going to be that much better in the wet..?
Road 5 CTs. I just got 19K miles down to the cord on a 5 CT on my rear on a Concours in 8 months of FL heat. The front looks almost new. I ride 42 psi cold. Finally someone (Michelin) is making tires that grip and last! For the disbelievers, I don't sell tires. I just ride them.
I have run several tires and have a history with Michelin going all the way back to the Macadams (precursor to the Pilot Road and the Road). I have always run my tire pressure more towards grip and performance than mileage. The Road 3 were better rain tires than the Pilot Road 2 but had massive cupping issues. The 4 was slightly better and the new tread pattern on the 5 seas better again. However, they all still cupped. With eh Road 6 Micheline has finally separate the large rain channels from the small one and it has made a big difference. The 6 is not only better handling but I am seeing better mileage as well. In my ZX14 and Bandit 1250 I was lucky to see mileage over 10K (more like 8K kms on the ZX14). The new 6 is much better, I am predicting about 12-14K on my Bandit but as I am only half way through, things could change. The one thing that all michelins had was they were good right up to the end. I've had other tires that became very sloppy and slick near the end so the last 1000kms were sketchy at best. Great tire. My canyon bike (nicely set up VTR1000) has power 5s which will be replaced by Road 6 as well. I tried a couple of set of the Power 5 to see if they would be any better (stickier) and the Road 6 are just as capable n the road. Plus the Road 6 will last a lot longer.
I have been using the Road 5 for a year and put nearly 5000 miles on them. , and they have been fantastic on my Ninja 1000 (dry weather - i don't push anything if I get stuck in rain.. Great grip and tracking stability. Just slightly less responsive than the the Power RS (discontinued)
get the Michelin Power 5's. you will notice a resemblance to the Power RS
Update. I am now at about 9,000 miles and both tires are almost at the center wear indicator.. Counter-steering noticably harder the last 500 miles.. I drive my bike pretty easy and avoid "the slab" whenever possible.. Hard to believe anyone got 18k miles from these tires, even to bald. Considering that I used to get about 6k with the power 3 and power RS, I am happy. Looking forward to getting some Road 6's soon
When exactly should I be considering GT? Can't get a definition of a "heavier bike" currently ride a Ducati Multistrada which is a fair old lump for sure but which version should I be looking at?
It's one of life's mysteries...I guess if you identify as heavy, you ride the GT version.
Such a nice coincidence, I just bought this tire for my 2017 KTM 1290 SA-S, they’re not even installed yet. Michelin offers these for the adventure bikes by the way, perhaps not in the US just yet though…
I got roughly a little over 15k on my road 5’s. I’ll be trying the 6’s soon.
i did close to 29,000 KMs on roads/tarmac using the road 5s. got to just less than 1mm before i hit the safety pimple. Just got my Road 6s today. Hope they'd last just as long!
Riding on a Triumph Speed Triple 1050R ABS
29k Km!!! What?
It's looking like that my next set of tires will be the Michelin Road 6 GT for my 2017 Chieftain Limited.
I use the Michelin road 5, the best I get in mileage on the rear is a little bit over 5000 miles, the bike is a a Suzuki gsx s1000.
I replaced the Roadtec 01's on my MT10 with the Road 6's. I haven't tested them in the wet as im a fair weather rider, but the dry grip is a step up from the Metzelers. The profile is more pointy and as the bike seems to turn much quicker. I previously dropped the yoke down the fork tops by 10mm with the Metzelers to improve the front end, but may go back up 5mm with the road 6's as they are much quicker to turn in. As for pressures I've found the rear to feel better at around 37psi cold and the front at 35psi cold. I'm a light rider at about 80kg (175lbs) suited. They really are great tyres, and to me at least, a big step up from the Metzeler Roadtec 01's.
Are you referring to the 01 or the 01 SE?
80kg its not “light” 😂
Good to know. Fitted these to an MT10 also.
What is like is a comparison between these Road 6 and the Bridgestone T32 tyres.
I have T31 tyres on my VFR and Bridgestone S22 on my Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX.
I don't do track days but do ride in all weather (we get a lot of rain in the UK) and long trips with camping kit as well as fast road trips with my bike club.
I run Q3+ or Q4 on my pure sportbikes, but for my sport tourers, I have liked the Road 5's... You can ride them hard and I have done a track day on them and they were great. This 6 looks even better, and that will be what I go to next.
You should try the RoadSmarts on your ST bike. Similar in profile to the Qs but longer file.
@@davidyaroch6622 I have the Michelin road 5's on my ST at the moment, but I have used Roadsmart 3's in the past and they were excellent
I started out with pilot power 3's on my vfr, would love to give a set of these a try sometime!
I just put a new rear road 6 on my vfr800 feels awesome already, can't wait for the slickness to wear off so I can push them in the twisted soon
I bought the Road 6 for my Honda cb650r (21) swap from OEM Dunlop. Have done 250 miles urban riding & is much better than Dunlop handling & stickiness on wet greasy roads.
I put a set of the 5s on my ZX14R and compared to the previous tires they made a huge difference in stability, grip in the dry and more importantly for me as a daily rider grip in the wet. Now that these are out I’m kinda jealous. 😂
What mileage did you get? My 14r I got 4,500 miles and cords was showing.
@@richardstoffel6585 I haven’t had the 5s long so I can’t answer that one yet as my 5s are in at about 400km (250miles?)give or take …the previous set were

Still enjoying my Dunlop road smart 3's but may have to switch to these.
Just bought a pair!
I hope Michelin do make the Road 6 trail version. I put Road 5 Trail on my Tiger 900GT to replace the Metzeler NEXT stock tyres. WOW, what a difference in the dry and the wet. The 5's are awesome, so the 6's should be even better
It's likely they'll continue those sizes since they've already invested in the equipment. I have them on my VStrom, and they transformed the bike. 6s will be next - after the finally wear out :).
I have a set sitting in my garage just waiting for my after Market chrome wheels from ACT.. I can't wait to see how they do on my gsxr 1000.. hopefully I made the right choice.. I'm not a trak rider. Mainly I'm on country whindy roads .. I have the road 2 on my gxxr 600 and the have lasted longer than 2 of my previous Dunlops.. so if they are good as they say..I think it will be worth the 450
I just bought a 2023 Yamaha MT-09. I'm thinking when the time comes I'll purchase these tires. I'm not planning any track days and ride fairly conservative. I do like to get leaned over in the turns but I think these tires will be fine.
Love this tyre, use at my Kawasaki Zrx1200 Daeg
I think these will be my next tyres on my Duke 390. I commute as well as doing some sport riding and I think the longevity of this tyre justifies the cost.
Id like to see you compare them to Roadtec 01s. I bet they are both fine tires. My approach is I can get used to any good tire and once dialed in I dont like to change. Old guys are like that.
Look no more! I put them on a couple of weeks ago and they are A M A Z I N G!!
Thanks for the feedback..
