Pulls left
After installing new set of Road 6 my R1250GS pulls to the left when I'm driving with no hands on the handlebar. I was not alone with that problem in the shop.
Excellent !
These tires go very well with my R1250GS. Complements the handling very well. Over 6000 miles on rear and likely 2-4000 left. Will buy them again.
Road 6 come stock Triumph Trident 660
This is truly and awesome tire. I've pushed these tire probably more then they should be. I did notice in a hard down hill left hander the rear tire chatting over tar snakes but with little or no effect with control or no step out. I well continue to run these tires based on the proven performance
Abysmal Tyre Performance - avoid
I purchase these tyres to replace my Pirelli Scorpion 2 tyres on the Gen 2 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. They have absolutely no grip in the rain, are horrendous when the going gets poor underfoot (cannot cope with loose gravel); sidewall very hard. They also don't work if the temperature falls below 10C (very slippy) and engender absolutely no confidence when leaning into corners. I've almost lost it on several occasions since changing out these tyres. They are being junked at the earlier opportunity. Michelin's support response has also been mediocre.
Great tire for BMW 1250GSA
I have tried the Road/Trail 5 tires and Anakee adventure tires for th BMW 1250GSA. I wanted to try to get 12,000 miles out of the Road 6 tires to make it between service intervals. I took two long cross country road trips 98% pavement and the tires survived 11,000 miles but I think it will be very difficult to get 12,000 out of this tire. My riding habits are moderate. I dont baby the tire but I was not ripping it and abusing the bike or the tire during these trips. They have great cornering, ride smooth and handle non technical dirt just fine. I am going to get another pair but I am torn between this and the anakee adventure. My adventure riding involves thousands of miles of pavement between dirt roads and I am not sure which tire suits me but both are just great all around tires. The ROAD 6 is a great tire.
Pulls to the left
I put this Tyre on varadero 1000 because I had read very good reviews about the previous road 5,I am disappointed,the bike pulls to the left when I leave my hands from the steering and when I ride straight I feel little imbalance like I drive a boat in the sea

Great tire I ride my bike only on pavement back roads as much as I can no freeways, only if I have to. I ride the bike pretty hard if I can this tire works but these guys that are saying they got 12000miles on there tires an still going must ride like a old lady on her way to Wal Mart i have 5500miles an might get 6500miles they are down to 3/32 4/32 an the rear is worse an center is getting worn out 34psi front an 36to 38psi rear. I like the tire but the cost is high.
Hi anonymousBradlee, 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.

Excellent Tire
I bought a set for my GS1250 adventure and I could not be happier. Exceptional handing and smooth. Handle the rain and gravel very well. Great option for the bike that lives on asphalt with occasional gravel.
Not great tyres and definately not worth the hype
I got these tyres to replace my Pirelli Scorpian Trail 2's on my KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. As I do road riding and distance travelling, I thought I would give these a go. To say I am underwhelmed is an understatement. Don't whatever you do use these tyres if your journey involves travelling in cold weather. They inspire absolutely no confidence (even after 500 miles); slide really easily when it rains and make the bike feel as though it is tippy-toe'ing along the road. There is no real grip to speak of (even when it does get above 7 or 8C). Really disappointed.
Very good touring tyre
As a personal preference i would like a sportier tyre but other than that a really good tyre overall and does as promises(long lasting remains to be seen)
