Any old tyre will get a puncture. Never heard that a certain type of tyre picks up punctures more than another. 5,000 miles is a lot on a set of tyres. Sure I get about 3-4k miles, but I do ride a bit more hairy than norm.
I love my Road 6’s. Been in lots of rain and temps down to 36F. Great traction even on gravel roads. Looking forward to testing them in snow this winter. Will buy again 10/10.
@@MichiganMotoADV I've had my encounters with ice in the past (bike was wearing Metzeler Z8) but I'll avoid that and snow if I can. Gotta draw the line somewhere... Do let me know how that goes! 🥶😱🤣
@@NooBiker lol. I don’t do icy roads but will ride in snow. Last winter I only missed three days of riding. I really should ride to a warmer climate. ✌️
As seen they performed very well. Will have to try them in the future. In my opinion they are not cheap, but well worth the money, from what I have heard. I believe that getting a puncture is just bad luck that can be with any tire. Nice review video my friend.
Cheers, Gregor! Yes, they're more premium in cost, but I was able to take advantage of some promotions to bring the cost differential down. Thankfully these coincided with the bike needing new tyres! I'm hoping they will bring longevity as well as the good performance, so watch this space...
I owned some MICHELIN ROAD 3'S and they were surprisingly good. Sticky when cold and a smooth ride. I will be getting some Road 6's when my ZX4RR needs new tires.
@@lovingmylifeasIage6741 very good but an interesting choice for a more sport oriented bike. Nothing wrong with it but most peeps seem to want to go for the more sporty sticky rubber I've got to get me a test ride on a ZX4RR... how do you find the bike?
@@NooBiker I love it. Not too much and not too little. I wouldn't call it a super sport. I would just call it a pleasure to ride. You can squeeze a lot of revs out of it and still enjoy it without fear of putting it in a ditch. It's great for more technical rides on curvy roads. You could easily make it your daly with a tail bag.
My brother has Road 6’s on his ZX6R and swears by them. He’s a spirited road rider rather than a regular track day rider, but he has done a couple of track days on them.
Thanks for putting this review together. I’m thinking about a which tyres I’ll get next time and these are on my shortlist. This has reinforced my thoughts. Stay safe👍
I've fitted four sets of Road 6s to four different bikes and they worked perfectly well on all four. I plan om fitting two more set of Road 6s when the new bikes go through the OEM tires.
Hi AV, Michelin make an excellent tyre. I got 6k off my rear Anakee Adventure (a stock tyre on the GS1300) including two spirited riding tours in Europe. I replaced it with the new for ‘24 Anakee Road which performed admirably on a recent visit to the French alps.
Thinking about whether to get Road 6 or Anakee Road for my KTM 1290 SAS. Want to be able to go down occasional gravel roads but perform best on the road.
@@blade1535 I’m not sure Road6 give any off road grip. The Anakee Roads are 90on 10 off. Perhaps the Anakee Adventures are your best bet. I thought they were excellent but like all these tyres they have their critics.
@@NooBiker yeah it looks that way. I probably do 95 percent tarmac at the moment. Mainly touring. I’ve ordered the Anakee rod and will see how they go for the road. I generally are only going down dirt roads to camp grounds or small link up sections of dirt roads so they aren’t too gnarly anyway.
I tried the Pirelli Angel, Bridgestone Battlax and the Michelin Road (and Road GT that I am currently using) were excellent. It performs well in all kinds of conditions and it really blows the competition on wet or rainy conditions. I used the Road 4,5 and now the 6 GT. Trust me … no point of trying anything else. Cheers amigo.
But there are still so many good tyres to try on and review, like the Roadtec 02, the Dunlop Roadsmart IV... 😁🤣 Thanks, amigo. This video is doing better than my usual stuff
I have been using Michelin since the Road II, am now on Road 5(?) could never fault them ! Including track days. The Metzeler Z8's, also execellent ! I had one of those Perilla Angel GT's split down the middle at high speed....will never touch them again ! Perilli rep had all sorts of stories....lesson learned !
Oh that's a nasty one with the Pirelli. Thanks for sharing! I've had the GT2s on two different bikes (Ninja 650 and Z1000SX) but hadn't heard of that issue. Very happy with the Road 6 so far 👍
I have Roads 6's on my Blackbird, they're done two European tours and are on about 8k miles and starting to square off. I will be putting the same tyres on when I do change them.
We are still enjoying our Road 6 tyres. Still doing plenty of wet weather riding with them. All good so far. No scary moments, no punctures as yet. Possibly on course to last longer than the 5's but I'll have to do the maths and look at the receipts
I have one on the rear and about to put one on the back very soon, very impressed with the front so far, great to hear your thoughts Mate 😎 i have had the mushroom plugs before and they work great.
I had the Road 5's on my RT, superb. Still on the stock Bridgestones on the Versys, with loads of life still in them. My next bike will have Road 6's on it 😉
I had Metzeler Z8 which were good and also Pirelli Angel GT 2 before this one. I think the Roadtec 2 were a bit more expensive when I did my research. What are your thoughts on the Dunlop Roadsmart IV?
I think there a great tyre.Just put a new rear on today as I had another puncture.Not sure if there worse than other tyres out there but I was surprised when I found it was a stone that had punctured it this time,A sharp one I must say but I’ll definitely stick with these for now unless I get yet another puncture then I’ll be back to metzlers.I was just wondering what p.s.i you run your tyres at as the rear tyre I’ve just had the puncture on was 4,000 mile old and to be honest it was knackered anyway.i had 1.7mm left on it and was due to change it anyway but I’ve never managed 5,000 out of any tyre yet and you’ve still got 5mm on yours.just checked my new tyre and it’s 6.5 mm..I have the same bike as you by the way and I do ride spirited..I’m just curious to know if running different p.s.i will help me get the mileage out of them that your getting..you should get 10,000 out of them with 5mm still left..cheers
@@ianburns5789 that's very unlucky with the punctures ☹️ I use the pressures recommended by Kawasaki and Michelin: 36 psi front, 42 psi rear. I guess you could say that I ride "sedate" as I tend to keep to the speed limits and try to be smooth as per IAM practice. We'll see how these last. Thanks for watching 👍
@@steve00alt70 I don't know what you mean by 'pure sticky tyres' but these are sport touring tyres with harder compound in the centre for longevity and softer rubber on the sides for better cornering grip. The tread pattern is for water dispersion and wet riding performance.
@@NooBiker No I never heard of them, I shall ask advice at the dealer. But to be honest if I'm ok with a certain type I will rather stick to it. I do over 20.000Km with the back tire and 30.000Km with the from tyre. And I drive +/- 25.000Km a year so my tires are never old 🙂
@@patrickmeylemans9627 I saw the Anakee Roads at a presentation Michelin delivered at the Dainese Store London (video on the channel). They're pretty much Road 6 but with a tread pattern that "looks right" for adventure bikes, if I remember correctly
I've owned both the Michelin Road 5 tires and the Metzler Roadtec Z8 Interact and I found the Metzlers were the better choice for my BMW R1150 RS Sport-Tourer. First, the type of riding I do is not the type where I'm cornering to the extreme edge of the tire's contact patch. While yes I have 'chicken strips on the edges of my tires, I do enjoy 'spirited rides' in the twisties regularly, and I believe that more extreme riding puts others at risk, so is too risky for the street, IMHO. That being said, I cannot say one tire is better for traction in those situations. What I have found is both give great handling and traction under the riding conditions that likely 95% of riders experience. Where the Metzlers seem to excel is their dual-levels of rubber hardness, where the centre strip is designed for mileage, while the softer sides are for optimal cornering. As a result I was able to get 24,000-km from the Metzlers, while the Michelins are close to the wear bar limits at about 14,000-km. I will be switching back to Metzler Roadtec Z8 Interact for my next set...
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing! I had the Z8s on this bike before and I agree they are excellent tyres. I got 10,000 miles (16,000 km) from my set a d would be very happy to put them on again. I'll have to see what mileage I get from these tyres but I'm hoping it will exceed that amount. They're also dual compound. Appreciate the comments 👍

Hi @@cemdrahsan270 , thanks for watching and for the question. I'm not an expert on your model of bike or Michelin tyres, so I went on their website and used the "find a tyre" feature, searching by your bike. The tyre Michelin recommends is the Road 6 GT. I would encourage you to discuss this with your local tyre shop too. I hope this helps and thank you again for supporting the channel.
@@NooBiker First of all, thank you very much for your answer. SX1000 approx. similar weight with my ZZR1400 that reason if you happy with Road 6 without GT, I will be satisfied with Road 6..
TLDR: If you're price conscious, go for the Z8. If you want the latest, go for the Road 6. I would say that they are both very good tyres. The Metzeler Z8 is a "value" tyre and will do everything you want from a sport touring tyre. I found it good in all conditions including wet. The Road 6 is more advanced with more recent technology, and therefore commands a price premium. It may last longer (can't say yet, I'll have to see how long it lasts!). Hope that helps.
