Ride everyday, rain or shine. Whether commuting to the CBD or through the twisty bits in the Adelaide Hills; the best tyres that I have had on any bike.
Always fantastic
Brilliant in the wet, dry, hot, cold, ice and track days. Ive used the Road 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 on various bikes over the years from superbikes to supermoto to street fighter and currently on a KTM 890 R. I cant praise them enough and ive just come from the Power Cup 2's on the KTM as standard equipment but 1500 miles with the Power Cup 2's obviously isnt great for for longivity.
Excellence!
Unbelievable tyres. A definite improvement over the 5s, although 10% better mileage of SFA is still SFA, barely getting 2500kms.but,wow,what a confidence enspiring 2500kms! A bit slow on turn in but nothing bad - air pressure is typically critical for Michelin's, and is the same for the 6s
Perfect all rounder
Just fitted this tyre on my MT09 2021. Is amazing how it handles in the dry, even better during the wet. Surprised me! Clocked almost 3000km in just less then 3 weeks amazing tyres. Just the perfect tyre for my tropical country where there is frequent rain.
A tyre that really does last
I have just completed a ride around Australia on a BMW R1200RT on the one set of tyres, the Michelin Road 6. 15,500 km. The rear tyre was beginning to square off, but still the tread was not quite on the TWI's. Front tyre still good and no scalloping. The tyres performed well throughout. Very happy with them.
Quite impressive
Quite impressive Great handling,easy cornering ,nice grip. Put on this morning. I went out on a major county road outside of Perth Western Australia ,to run them in.
A very good alround tire
I have a set fitted to a 2017 Suzuki SV650 and ride the Gillies Range RD 95% of all rides, the cornering grip is extremely reliable. The life is decent too as it’s cornering one way, then other for entire journey. Definitely buy again
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!

Excellent tyre
Three sets to date with good, even wear from edge to edge with no ‘chicken strips’ on the back, and a few mm on the front. 12,000kms out of the last set, 8-9,000kms on the previous two sets. Cannot fault them, I do about 4,000kms a month on average on a K16GT in all weathers and all conditions. Fourth set went on in July 2022.
