Road 5 TIRE REVIEW

Impressed!

I bought my motorcycle new in Nov ‘23 with the Michelin tyres already fitted. It is now April ‘’25 and I have done 22300 km on them! I had a minor service done a week ago and they said my FRONT tyre needs replacing soon before the 30k service, which means they can probably go for another +-5000 kms..? I have ridden 100km+ in torrential rain, gravel, muddy surface. I’m getting a new set in the next week or so! Excellent durability, performance overall! I can safely say I feel safe on the road/s! Thank you!!

Unmatched Performance and Grip: Michelin Motorbike Tyres Take Your Ride to the Next Level!

I recently fitted Michelin motorbike tyres to my bike, and I am thoroughly impressed! The grip and handling are exceptional, offering confidence in both dry and wet conditions. Whether I’m cornering at high speeds or navigating tight turns, the tyres provide excellent stability and traction. The ride feels smoother, and I can definitely notice an improvement in overall performance. The longevity is also great, and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in wear compared to previous brands. Michelin has truly delivered a top-tier product for motorcyclists. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their ride!

Stop looking at other tires and buy these.

Stop looking at other tires. Yes these cost a touch more than other brands but they perform under ALL conditions. Torrential downpours of rain, sudden inch deep hail, 10 mile silty gravel road to a camp site, it can do it all and be plenty sticky on super twisty mountain roads. I will not buy another brand and used the 2, 3, 4 and 5 makes and will gladly use the 6 when it comes out.

excellent performance in dry and wet

Road 5 - great tire for muddy roads!

I had the Road 5's on my 2002 R1150RS that I recently sold. I road that bike through PA in the rain on roads where there was a lot of fracking for oil going on. The bike and I got covered in gray slime but the Road 5's held the road and I never felt unsafe riding!

Absolutely amazing tires!

These are good for everything, but especially amazing in the rain. I have them on my 2017 FZ10 which recently transferred from my touring/commuting bike into track/fun rides only, and I'm still happy with the Road 5's until they wear down. We had a lot of rainy track days this summer and I got a lot of compliments on how comfortable I'm riding in the rain, all thanks to having 100% confidence in these tires.

decent, edges too hard, too long to heat up

i was not impressed with the so called "softer/grippier" edges on the road 5 and 6.. they are still too hard and take to long to heat up.... road 7 needs road 5/6 center, with a pilot power 2ct edge!!

Best overall motorcycle tire there is.

The road 5 is an amazing motorcycle tire that gives the rider a good feedback. I own a 2018 CBR1000RR and this is the second set of Michelin that I have put on my bike. By the way I have put over 16,800 miles on my CBR1000RR and these tires have done a better job than the Pirelli Angel.

Would recommend to any sportbike rider

Run these on my zx10r and my gsxr 1100. I've tried a good number of tires in the last 30 years and for the last 3 almost 4 I swear by these. Great for the horrible roads and weather of alaska

Road 5s ran 15000 miles on cb500f

After 15,000 miles there was still tread but the rubber was done. Maybe the tire could stand to be a bit softer for our lighter bikes likes the cb500f.
