Michelin's Road 6 is my #1 tyre choice.
For my uses, Michelin's Road 6 is my #1 tyre choice. I ride in Australia - all year round - for heavily loaded long distance sports-touring twisty road joy rides occasional track days. I have fitted Michelin's Road series tyres since 2014, on middleweight cc and heavyweight cc motorcycles. They have always delivered superb dry and wet grip lasted 14,500 kms / 9,000 miles provided superb handling. My last pair of Road 6 were fitted end of day before a track day the next morning. They did not slip once! Incredible tyres.

The grip, feedback and confidence inspired isamazing
The grip, feedback and confidence inspired is amazing. In the past when I've gone to a new version of a tyre I've felt some small improvement. While the old tyre was very good, when I went to the Road 6 on the front the step forward was amazing. (I needed to back off the rebound dampening 1 or 2 clicks, I commute daily on a VFR1200F) The new tyre grips in the cold far better (-2 and warmer) and in the heat (up to low 40s). It's feedback is so good, I'm game to to push it to sliding and then catch it.

Tires you can rely on
Tires warm up quickly even in the winter. There is nothing I can complain about.

Road 6 every time
I bought a 2001 GSXR1000 that had been freshly serviced including new brakes and Pirelli tyres. I also own 2 1200 Suzuki Bandits with road 6 tyres. The confidence these tyres give me never fail to amaze me. The GSXR never gave me the same confidence to throw her into corners. So I just replaced the tyres with road 6 and the difference is unbelievable. She just falls into corners and handles like I expected she should. Will always be Michelin for me.
