Fantastic Tyre
Fantastic tyre in both the wet and the dry. I use mine for after work blasts, commuting and touring. When touring Scotland I loved the fact I could ride in any conditions with confidence.
Good Tyre
Awesome Tyre
Stick like glue to the road
Great set of tyres that stick to the road like glue giving you confidence to push on. Not tried them in the wet but given their dry road performance I'm pretty convinced they'll be as good in the wet
Great all-rounder!
I'm on my third set in 28k miles Had Road 4s previously. Road 6s give excellent grip in dry or wet, providing full confidence! 10k from front, 9k from rear. Will continue to use these tyres!
Pulls left
After installing new set of Road 6 my R1250GS pulls to the left when I'm driving with no hands on the handlebar. I was not alone with that problem in the shop.
Abysmal Tyre Performance - avoid
I purchase these tyres to replace my Pirelli Scorpion 2 tyres on the Gen 2 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. They have absolutely no grip in the rain, are horrendous when the going gets poor underfoot (cannot cope with loose gravel); sidewall very hard. They also don't work if the temperature falls below 10C (very slippy) and engender absolutely no confidence when leaning into corners. I've almost lost it on several occasions since changing out these tyres. They are being junked at the earlier opportunity. Michelin's support response has also been mediocre.
Pulls to the left
I put this Tyre on varadero 1000 because I had read very good reviews about the previous road 5,I am disappointed,the bike pulls to the left when I leave my hands from the steering and when I ride straight I feel little imbalance like I drive a boat in the sea
Not great tyres and definately not worth the hype
I got these tyres to replace my Pirelli Scorpian Trail 2's on my KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. As I do road riding and distance travelling, I thought I would give these a go. To say I am underwhelmed is an understatement. Don't whatever you do use these tyres if your journey involves travelling in cold weather. They inspire absolutely no confidence (even after 500 miles); slide really easily when it rains and make the bike feel as though it is tippy-toe'ing along the road. There is no real grip to speak of (even when it does get above 7 or 8C). Really disappointed.
Good performer!
I've made 14000 miles on them and if not for the puncture I could do few thousands more. New set is on it's way.
Long lasting, outstanding grip, confident in rain.
Have had several of each Michelin Road Tires and now 4 k miles on my Road 6. Very even wear, outstanding grip in of course dry but also reliably good in wet, and gives solid confidence in rainy conditions. Very very happy with this tire, and the Michelin Road Series. Worth every penny.
