Best tires by far!!!!!
Well, this is my 3rd pair of Road Pilot tires and can say that they are the best tires for for rain, and longevity bar none. The last set of Road Pilot 5's when 20,000 km's, I've never had a set of tires go over 10,000 km's. I've had all the top brands and nothing comes close. My wife and I went across Canada and put on 15,000kms of riding and still going strong.
Great tires
Purchased these tires to replace Pirelli's. They are great, everything I expected from them. Will always stick with Michelin.
Highest quality and performance.
Bought Road 6s from Cycle Gear in April and had them installed by my Yamaha dealer on a 2022 Tracer 9 GT. They replaced the Bridgestone T32s which were OEM. It was like getting a new bike; turn in, confidence, smoothness, comfort all noticeably improved. For sport touring, they will be my go to tire from this point on.

Great tires, very sticky
Downgraded
Michelin had the perfect tire with the Road 5 GT, it they failed with the ‘improved’ Road 6 GT. I was able to get 6k miles (service intervals) out of a set of 5 GT tires on my RT. With the 6 GT, I get only slightly over half that many miles. Super disappointing. I hope Michelin just re-releases the 5 GT and calls it their new and improved 7 GT.
Bob27, thank you for your feedback. The wear of a tire can vary depending on riding style, usage, load, riding conditions, and proper inflation. It is always recommended to take your bike in to a local dealer for inspection to see if there could be any underlying conditions.

Nice set of tires
Can't wait to get them on the road
Pulling left when you take your hands off the bars
I had the Road 5's on my 2017 FZ10 and loved them! So when my new 2023 Hayabusa needed tires I got a set of Road 6's installed. Now I also have the problem of the bike pulling LEFT with I take my hands off the bars. I have been riding for 28 years and owned over a dozen motorcycles and this is a new issue I've not seen before. Apparently the tires made in Spain are the ones affected. I'm really disappointed and I'm by far not the only one with this issue. Please Michelin do something about this.

Pulls to the left!
Great tire, good grip, fun to flick around. But the moment you take your hands from the handle bars, as you do sometimes to stretch for example, the bike pulls hard to the left.

Pull to left
I purchased the Road 6's in July 2023 and finally mounted them (May 2024) on my 2016 GSA. The tires felt fine on the first ride during cornering, but pull to the left with "hands-off". Never felt this before, and very disconcerting. I'm disappointed.
