Michelin Road 6
« on: March 20, 2022, 05:52:55 AM »
I see that MIchelin has released the Road 6.     They make the expected and ubiquitous claim of longer life and better grip, so I guess we can all exect the tyre to last for 30,000km and to perform like a dry track race tyre.    :grin
See....   https://www.michelin.com.au/motorbike/tyres/michelin-road-6
No doubt they are good tyres, but I think I'm getting old and distrustful of such claims about every new tyre that comes on the market.  :well

Yeah saw that.
I remember thinking when I got my Road 5s fitted that I still wouldn't mind a set of PR3s or even 2s - they have all been pretty good tyres.


I've bought a few sets of Michelins over the years.     :13Candy

After 3 sets of Pirelli Angel GTs, I’m going to give a pair of these a go. Will let you know how they go.

There was a bit of a discussion on these tyres last month...

Biggle bought a set so perhaps he can give us another update on how they are performing?  :popcorn
