Good but not excellent
I ride on a '18 BMW K1600GTL and on a '23 BMW K1600GTL. I am on the 3rd set of 6 GT's on my '18 and on the 2nd set on my '23. The results have been consistent. Pros: * Grip is excellent on dry roads and great on wet roads * Quick warmup - within 3 miles * Great stability and maneuverability up to approximately 70% of the tire's life span * Great curve carving Cons: * Longevity - I'm consistently getting between 5000 and 5500 miles until the wear bars are gone; Riding is spirited but not race track aggressive. * "Peeling off" edge of grooves - this may be because the groove becomes wider as the tire wears but it looks funny and gives the impression that the compound is peeling away. * Scalloping starts to develop on the front tire between at around 3/4 life span. * Maintain same performance up to approx 70% life * Cost
Bought for Looks Keep for Performance
I bought the Road 6 GT tires for my K 1600 GTL because they exude quality and have the best looking tread pattern of any motorcycle tire on the market. I plan to keep buying them because they grip great, are stable and maneuverable. I haven’t been caught in the rain in them and can’t comment on wet surface grip.
PR 6 on a BMW K1600 GTL
I put away the bike this fall with 11,000 km on this set of tires. Great road handling performance, both on dry and wet pavement. I may be able to reach 14,000 -15,000 km on this set early next spring. I already ordered a new set of PR 6 for the summer season. The only issue I have with this tire is the road noise in curves because of the large grooves. My PR 4 on my old K 1200 GT where quieter. But still, I loved the overall performance of the tires. I am also a motorcycle instructor so I am able to lean in the curves to the limit of the tires.
Wow, my bike never handled so well!!!
My new Bimmer came with the "stone" brand from the factory. On a long trip my prior front wasted away. So I visited a local BMW store and put a pair GT6's, I never had such great handling ever on this bike. Tires are everything on a bike, matching with the best tires available is just the smartest thing you can do. The new sneakers only have approximately 1200 miles, so I can't yet speak to longevity.
