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!

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. 👌

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.

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.

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.

Fun fact, Michelin predict the Road 10 will only be sold to manufacturers as it will last longer than the motorcycle they come with 😁

I absolutely love the road 5s on my Versys 650, so much grip, in any weather.

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!

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.

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.

Brilliant tyres. Got these on my VFR800 VTEC 03. Instant confidences on the twisties and in the wet👌

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 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!👍

Love my Road 5's on my Versys 1000 and MT-09. But these will be my next 2 sets.

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... 👋👊👊

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

Road 5s are amazing. Really transformed my xsr900. Looking forward to trying the Road 6.

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. 👍🏻

Pretty happy about this review. I just put them on my VFR800! 😊

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

I got Road 4s about a year ago. Love them.

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.

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 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

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

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.

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.

Been super excited for these

Just got some road 6 gt’s love them so far. Was down to the wires on my old tires

Very helpful video. Thank you so much!

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.

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.

Gr8 vid, spurg. Ride safe, god bless u.

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.

Cant wait to give these a go later this yr...

I've just put my first 100miles on the Z14 & they feel amazing! Can't wait to get back out tommorow 😉

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..?

Love the road 5 it last me 3 riding season on 2005 honda cbr 600 f4i. Can't wait to test these road 6

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

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.

Got the road 6 gt on my fz1n since last month. Very good tyre.

The Road 5's on my Tracer are great! 5k on them and they still look brand new!

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.

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 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 love my Road 5's on my Vulcan S650 sports cruiser. Excellent performance and longevity.

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 :)

Have Power 5's on my Blackbird and they are unreal. My next tire is going to be a Road 6 though.

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.

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.

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

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.

Just copped mines the other day!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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

Just bought an FZ6 and it's rolling on Battlax BT23s, definitely going to check these out when I replace them!

Have road 6 on cb 500 road home in a down pour yesterday and I say I have no complaints

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.

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 .

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.

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.

Sweet. I'll have to grab these next. Not a huge fan of my battle axes I have now.

I'm getting Road 6 fitted to my Breva 1100 tomorrow, can't wait to put some miles on it..

This is THE tire. I have them since they are available. For wet dutch weather this is exactly what you need

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.

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.👍

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.

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.

Love this tyre, use at my Kawasaki Zrx1200 Daeg

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.

Have they improved the steering precision? I bought 2 bikes (BMW R1100S and Honda VFR1200) that came with PR4s. Both bikes felt numb just off center. I switched to Dunlops RoadSmarts and found the handling to be more precise.

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...............😎

The GT is for heavier motorcycles, but I cant find anywhere that they specify what they class as heavy.

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 started out with pilot power 3's on my vfr, would love to give a set of these a try sometime!

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

Not too sure about those sipes creeping further into the 'slick' side wall...i love that part about road 5's on my street triple R.

Still enjoying my Dunlop road smart 3's but may have to switch to these.

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'm looking at changing my rear wheel to a 17" rim so I can have access to these. Being stuck on Bridgestone Battlax, with my 18" rear, is a bit sucky.

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.

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.

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.

What is your opinion about bridgestone T32 over this ones? Probably getting road 6 in next swap but would love to know if bridgestone are good as well!

It's looking like that my next set of tires will be the Michelin Road 6 GT for my 2017 Chieftain Limited.

Coming from Bridgestone T32s and Roadtec 01s before that. Seriously considering there. Curious about the profile/ride height though. Would you have any data on actual dimensions for width and outer diameter, for 120/70 and 180/55 and 190/55? Thank you.

I’m debating whether to use sport touring tires on my sport nakeds. I have a Concours14 and an ST1300 that get the majority of the miles. My Buell and Z1000 end up having old tires that look like new. Living in Iowa, I certainly don’t need sport tires.

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.

Hi, any recommendations for the best tire for a 2022 zx6r for street riding. Thanks a lot!

I'd love to have a RevZilla counterpart in my country. Great review, I came here after the video about the best tires 2023. Now, I've noticed these tires have something like my Metzeler Roadtec 01, namely, several dashes near the edge of the tread on the rear tire, reoccurring periodically. What is the purpose of those?

I had S22's on my MT10, now i have Diablo Rosso 4's, i like them but wear out pretty quick and not much confidence in the rain (i daily my bike) so this looks like a pretty good tire for me?

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 wonder if an R1200RT, 1 up with moderately loaded panniers is too heavy for these.

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.

If you could please show more angles of the side of the tires so we can see the whole tire rather than mostly the treads, I think that would be really helpful. I was interested to see the rotation arrows, but it was very difficult to see. Thanks for the review though.

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 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. 🙂

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

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 don't ride in the rain much and the q3 pluses don't get squirrely when u get close to the edge and even thou these tires would prolly last almost twice as long think I'll stick to the qs for superior grip hitting all the twisties
