I have never bought Michelin tyres before. So, I did not know what to expect. Here is how they went on the Moto Guzzi Griso. To send me mail: PO BOX 45, West Hoxton, NSW, Australia, 2171
I've put Road 5s on my Speed Triple, and Road 6s on my 18 V-Strom 1K. For everyday riding in a wide range of temps and conditions, I can say unequivocally they are worth the extra money - and not just because they do indeed last longer. They are SAFER (and more fun!), reason enough to pop for them. Good review. Thanks.
Its not Internet BS. These tyres are excellent. Carol has them on the Street Triple, I've got them on my MT10. To be honest the Road 5s are excellent as well. Got those on my XSR900 and they've never given me any concerns. I've never had tyres that work as well as these, especially in the wet.
We've just fitted a set of Road 6's to our 2019 FJR1300. We had to swap out the Road 6 GT's that have been on for the last 37000 Km's. Yes, you read that correctly. I check the pressures regularly, ride in all weather conditions (only bike, don't own a car). Can honestly say that they are great in the wet. reason for the Road 6's and not the GT is quite simply there were no front tyres available here in Australia at the time that I needed them (last week). I'm curious as to how these Road 6's will compare to the Road 6 GT's. Great video, very informative, love the Guzzi.
My 2016 FJR Has a set of Road 5GT Got 8000 Miles on the front tire and 10,000 on the rear front tire is almost to wear bars looks like the FJR wears out front tires faster than rear have you experienced to same thing?
A good report. I'm on an FJR1300, currently enjoying my 2nd set of Bridgestone T-32 GTs. Did NOT like the old Michelin Pilot Road 4's.. bad cupping... So maybe the 6's are much better. But: PRICEY
Good to hear mate. I also have a zzr600 and just ordered the Road 6 for the front, my rear still okay. My most important thing is the grip and have heard good things about them. My only gripe is, and I know stupid all things considered is I don’t particularly like the look of the tread pattern 😊. I appreciate not important but pretty ugly.
Nowt wrong with R6, but then there was never anything wrong with R5. Currently using Next2. R6 and Next2 seem to last forever, with superb wet weather grip.
Road 6 are amazing tyres all round 8k miles plus out of mine with some hard riding also in spain on tour i couldnt recomend them more for an all year use
They are good but apart from being expensive, the front makes a high pitch hum on smooth roads above 50 kph which I find irritating. I think it's the fine transverse treads across the tyre that cause this hum, the rear doesn't have those and is quiet.
That is a good result. They have some longetivity to them. Having taken my Griso on some large highway trips. These tyres have lasted the longest compared to the other brands that I have used in the past.
Thanks for the review. I am about to pull the trigger on getting a set of Road 6 to replace my current Pirelli Angel GT 2 set on my Kawasaki Z1000SX... I've also historically been a user of Metzeler and Pirelli tyres. Since this video is 7 months old, is there anything else I should know before I hand my credit card over to the man at the tyre shop?
Hi there I'm a currently using Bridgestone Battlax T32, previously a got Pirreli Anget GT, I'm planning to get the Road 6. How long did your 6s tires lasted?
Griso nice , my Pirelli tyres fell apart , disappointed So Michelin road 5 s , been excellent tyres soon upgrading to 6s Put 6s on my wife's Triumph Tiger and turned it into sport bike , changed the whole dynamic of the handling. As for wear my Stelvio has got 9000 klms so far on the rear fully loaded , pressures seem critical
Like with all bikes. If you keep them to the correct tyre pressure, you will get more kilometers out of the tyres. This was something that I was terrible at until I made it a habit of checking my tyre pressure on a fortnightly basis (or after an extended time in the garage).
I loved Pirelli tyres , but my angel GT2 s literally fell apart with about 3000 ks to go , dealer , Pirelli importer no interest whatsoever So switched to Michelin 5s and soon upgrading to 6s , great tyres
My bike has 7000k with the road6, and i cannot see the time to replace them, a put a pair of T32... Road 6 gives you extra 40-50% milage compared to the T32, but T32 have much more grip, and the worst the suface, the bigger the diference. I have no confidence on Road 6, they are slippery
