Amazing tires on my Honda NC750X DCT. Great grip and feel. I'm expecting these to last another 7,000 miles at least.
Michelin Road 6 review
i have tested all the road series tires. I thought the Road 5 were the best for sport tire performance and wet tire performance. But the Road 6 is much better. It felt like I had a suspension upgrade. Softer on irregular roads, yet sticks like glue on dry or wet.
Hi Nicky, thank you for your review of our MICHELIN Road 6 tire! We appreciate your feedback.

Motorcycle pulls to the left
After installing new set of Road 6. My1200 gs pulls to the left when I'm driving with no hands on the handlebar. There are many people in the World who reported this problem.
The civilized side of our forbidden passions
I used to wear adventure tyres on my KTM 1290 Super adventure S... AND NOW I FOUND PILOT 6's ! A game changer for this bike. Probably the most appropriate tyre for this rocket. It inspires safety, leans like crazy, sticks like your true love and stops like an anker. And excellent performer on wet. Thank you for the opportunity to live this experience!
Best purchase I made
I have gone several thousand miles on the road 6 and i can't be any happier with the performance on dry twisty roads or heavy rain. I can't wait to see what Michelin will do with the data they have collected from this tire to make it even better in the future.
Good performer!
I've made 14000 miles on them and if not for the puncture I could do few thousands more. New set is on it's way.
A great road tyre for ROAD bikes...
Having put 75k KMs on a new KTM 1290 super adventure S and having many adv tyres on it, i can tell you that this bike shined even more with the road 6's. Adv tyres like the trails are great BUT this tyre for the S model created feelings, after excellent lean ability, stopping power and great delight for the eye...
Best Road Tires Yet
The new Road 6 on my 2019 Triumph Tiger 1,200 are more stable at high speeds. Same great grip in the wet. I have 7,000 miles on them now and they look about half worn so they are wearing great. Much better than the road 4 and 5's. Only thing I notice if I'm on a flat smooth road and I lean left or right I'm now picking up a roads noise from the tires I've never experienced with the "road" tires before. Sounds like a slight bearing noise. I had the same noise on another bike over 15 years ago when I ran Dunlop's.
Hi Gary, thank you for your review of the MICHELIN Road 6 tire! We appreciate your feedback. We are sorry you are experiencing more road noise than usual. Please have your bike checked out by your trusted motorcycle dealer, sometimes incorrect mounting, incorrect balancing, worn motorcycle components, etc can be a root cause.

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.

Long lasting, outstanding grip, confident in rain.
Have had several of each Michelin Road Tires and now 4 k miles on my Road 6. Very even wear, outstanding grip in of course dry but also reliably good in wet, and gives solid confidence in rainy conditions. Very very happy with this tire, and the Michelin Road Series. Worth every penny.
