First new set of rubber after the OEM Bridgestones wore out. I am sold on Michelin Road series. I went through most all brands and settled long term on the Road series because; I prefer to ride than visit tire machines. They hook plenty and give great mileage (Over 10,000 easily) on a late model sports machine (BMW S1000RR & ZX10R). Great wear patterns. Stable to top # on high end. Excellent wet road grip too. I've got 3 seasons on a set of Road 5 on my ZX10R & not near the wear bars yet. If their is anything I don't like I haven't found it yet. A+++

Best tires I've ever had by far! Currently on my second full set, the first set input 18k miles on the front and 12k on the rear before changing out the rear for a fresh one. Changed the wheel color so I bought a new set to go on them. My friends heard how much I liked them and 2 of them bought the same set for their bikes.I've never had an issue with performance in all weather conditions, as I ride year round in NC. I HIGHLY recommend these tires and can't wait for the next iteration of them to be released in the future! 10/10

Had to replace my Metzler Tourances on my 2020 Tiger 1200 after 10 monthsr (bought in 2021) and 3142 miles. The stock front tire had worn to the TWI bars on the sides, the rear was only showing wear in the center. I ran them at 2 pounds over recommended PSI (I am a big guy). Packed the Road 6s on the back seat and headed to dealer. The 108 mile highway ride home on the new tires showed they tracked very straight and road smooth. The last 10 miles on twisty roads proved even better. Bike tracked great with great feedback. I have put about 300 miles on them and have worn them within 1/16" of an inch from fully edge and cannot say enough positive things about these tires. Only drawback so far was the price, little steeper than I expected but if I get 8,000-10,000 miles ... MoreHad to replace my Metzler Tourances on my 2020 Tiger 1200 after 10 monthsr (bought in 2021) and 3142 miles.

I've been through 2-3 road 5 tires on two separate bikes. Enjoy this tire very much.However, when I stepped up to the road 6 I seem to have become very unlucky with the rear tire. I haven't logged the miles ( so, grain of salt, maybe my memory's to blame ), BUT....the center of the tire wore out FAST, and I mean like....down to wear bars in what felt like only half the time of my old road 5.I wore out the side of my last 5 before I wore out the center ( granted, a trackday was involved in that wear ), but.....still....the center should last quite a while. My bike weighs just under 600 wet, and this tire is rated for 800+ lbs.....so I struggle to fathom why the mileage on this rear tire was so bad.Tried to get all the miles I could out of it, but a mysterious ... MoreI've been through 2-3 road 5 tires on two separate bikes.

I'm definitely not eager to pony up this much money for another 6. Gonna pick up an old 5 and wait to see what happens to the rest of you.That's my story. Hope it's helpful in case anyone else had a weird experience like mine with the 6.
Pricey but worth every penny so far. Currently have the previous Road 5's (Adventure) on a BMW R1250GSA and love them. Just put this set of the Road 6's on my BMW R1250R last week and then did over 300 miles in one day mostly sport riding, with some freeways and everything in between. Never thought I would find a sport touring tire that lived up to the handling and feel of more focused sport rubber..that is, until now. Feel and handling are top notch. The Metzeler Z8's that these tires replaced were good but these Road 6 tires have exceeded all expectations for both sport riding and, all around utility on the street. Cannot yet comment on wear however for the price paid I hope I am not disappointed. (The Metzeler Z8 set that these are replacing wore out on the sides ... MorePricey but worth every penny so far.

Did not get a chance to test the wet grip but that is not the kind of riding I mainly do with the bike I just put them on. For reference, the Road 5 version tires on my GSA are great in the wet so I do expect the Road 6 to be good in the wet if needed.
After 2000km review. This was my first tire change on my 2020 Vulcan S 650. The tires have a seam running down the middle of the them. One side of the seam is higher than the other side. This causes a speed wobble if you exceed 135 kph. (I almost dropped my bike. ) and gives you the feeling like the wheel alignment is off, even though it is perfect. The tires also feel like they are out of round. Like you are riding a horse. This dramatically reduces your confidence in cornering. ( the bike is costly bouncing) You can feel the vibration from the tred, it feels like you are riding on dirt bike tires. The rubber is also very hard, I have on different occasions locked up the front wheel and the back wheel even though I have ABS. As soon as I can afford to get new ... MoreAfter 2000km review.

What a waste of money.
I had the Road 5’s on my ‘09 BMW R1200GS Adventure.The road five was without a doubt the best motorcycle tire I have ever had on any motorcycle on the street ever in 45 years of license riding on the road.On the dry pavement you could just keep turning until the soul of my boot under the shifter was rubbing on the ground and there was still no hint that the tire was going to let go of traction.On wet pavement it is the same. I didn’t push it quite as hard as on the dry but I can pretty much ride as hard and fast in the rain as he can in the dry with the Road 5 and the Road 6 now I find out. The road 6 is just as grippy on the dry although I have found it a tad on the twitchy side when you’re up over 190 km an hour.The Road 5 gave me almost 12,000 KM’s! ... MoreI had the Road 5’s on my ‘09 BMW R1200GS Adventure.The road five was without a doubt the best motorcycle tire I have ever had on any motorcycle on the street ever in 45 years of license riding on the road.On the dry pavement you could just keep turning until the soul of my boot under the shifter was rubbing on the ground and there was still no hint that the tire was going to let go of traction.On wet pavement it is the same.

(11696 km to be exact)Apparently they’re Michelin Road 6 is supposed to be a little bit better on total mileage. I know my mileage in my service book when I swap tires so I’ll have an exact number of kilometre set the Road 6 gets when I wear it out.I have over 3,000 km on them now and I am thrilled with the performance.I highly recommend them.
Maybe I got a defective tire, I don't know, but since mounting these Road 6 tires on my F750GS, my bike constantly tries to turn left. I've checked the rear wheel alignment, unmounted and remounted the front, re-balanced the front, loosened the pinch bolts on the forks and repeatedly compressed the forks to reset everything, all to no avail, my bike still constantly tired to turn left. It was ride-able but annoying, after 3,000 miles I finally gave up, I put my old, worn Anakee III back on the front and now the bike tracks straight and true, problem solved. My experience with the Road 6 has been very disappointing. I gave a good rating for tread life, the tires look like new, but they are no good to me.
Put these on my R1250 GSA about 650 miles ago. I've never run Michelin Roads in the past. First 350 miles were in cool, 50f, rainy conditions. I had all the confidence, no issues. Next 300 miles were a mix of upper 20s/low 30s. No issue in cold temps. Felt good cornering on asphalt at those temps. I like these better than the Pirelli Angel GTs previously mounted and used for about 5k miles. I would definitely consider another set when these ones are done!
