Solid Tire Super Sticky and Smooth
I purchased this set of tires for a 2017 BMW R1200RT once i left the dealer i put 1000 Miles on the set over the course of 2 days the break in was fun and extremely smooth i ran into some rain and the tires held up excellent Only complaint was with a fellow rider saying the tire is a little loud but i did not notice it i would be buying another set when these are worn! Also to note Leaning the bike at higher speeds felt amazing with this set the grip was there
Thanks for the positive feedback, Alex! We are certainly proud of the improved performance with each generation of tire we produce and the 3D sipes of your MICHELIN Road 6 tires should maintain the wet grip performance longer than tires without this feature. We're glad you are able to enjoy the ride.

Great until noise came!
Had these on my BMW 1250 RT. At about 4500 miles, noise became terrible at about 50 mph. I got relegated to the back of the pack as my friends couldn’t stand the “ 18 wheeler” wail. Alas, at 7,000 miles I bought another brand. Too bad. I love my Pilot Sport Super Sports on my M4.
Hi Paul. Sorry to hear about your poor experience on MICHLEIN Road 6 tires. We want to be sure that you chose the proper tire for your BMW 1250 RT, which is MICHELIN Road 6 GT. The GT version contains an extra bias ply to ensure your handling and tire wear are optimized on your larger motorcycle. Safe riding.

The Road 6 tire is awesome hands down. " No Lie "
Night and Day difference from the Road 5. I have a 2018 Yamaha R6 so you know I mash it for real. lol The 6 GT is for heavier bike like cruisers the 6 is for sports bikes. Honestly, I feel this tire is better than your high end Perali.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Travis! We are certainly proud of the improved performance with each generation of tire we produce and glad you are able to enjoy the ride even more.

Major upgrades from the road 5
The road 5 was phenomenal! The road 6 is even better. The grip is amazing I tried slipping it just to see and it was difficult. Great confidence in the corners when i do my fun rides at my local twisty roads in SoCal. And great durability for my 50 mile commute.
Hi juniorjc12, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback of the MICHELIN Road 6 tire!

night and day difference!
I just put these on my new 2020 z650 and replaced the dunlop sportmax 2 and its night and day difference in the dry and wet, 10/10 would buy again. I cannot relate to the other reviewers, i had no issues balancing and no vibrations at 100+mph, well outside of a naked bike at that speed which shakes a bit anyway. Great tires in the wet, complete confidence!
Great tire, but pricey
It’s probably the best sport touring tire in terms of overall grip. Plus seems well manufactured as it always balances out well. I ride hard and get ~3,500 mls on a rear and 5k front. I also ride a lot and get tired of the prices. Maybe I should slow down … naaa.
Hi Andy, thank you for your review of the MICHELIN Road 6 tires! We appreciate your feedback.

Best Motorcycle Tire
This is hands down the best motorcycle tire you can get. I've owned a set of Road 5 and I said a road sixes now I'm going to get another set of Road sixes for another bike of mine. The quality of these tires is top notch they last well over 8000 Miles. They have great traction awesome stability totally comfortable I couldn't say enough about how awesome these tires are.
Hi Max Power, thank you for your review of our MICHELIN Road 6 tire! We appreciate your feedback.

Good tires....BUT
Incredibly hard to ballance, tire was shot after 200 miles from putting it on and ballancing at authorized dealer. Had to put new one AT MY OWN EXPENSE - $400 loss.... I always loved AND trusted Michelin tires for bicycles, cars and motorcycles... Paid premium to keep myself and family safe, but with Road 5.....well....I'm very disappointed in longevity and quality.
Great tires
Been using these since the 2 came out ! I won’t buy anything else . Great in rain .
Hi Adam, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback.

The front Michelin Road 6 appears narrower than claimed
I just bought two new Michelin Road 6 tires for my BMW R1200 GSA. The front tire comes in a 120/70 19. This tire looks extremely skinny compared to a Michelin Pilot Road 4 in the same size. I actually measure the Michelin Road 6 in the 120/70 19 size and it measures out at 110/70 19. Conversely, my rear Michelin Road 6 appears wider than the 170/60 17 or at least as wide as the 170/60 17 Michelin Pilot road 4. My advice would be if you plan on buying a front Michelin Road 6 tire, buy one 10 mm wider than your stock size. My front Michelin Road 6 looks too skinny for the bike and looks silly
