You could possibly cancel your order if you wanted to go through the hassle: https://www.ebay.com.au/help/buying/buyers-can-cancel-order/buyers-can-cancel-order?id=4004

Better not post how much I just pair for a pair fitted!  But that said, I got them straight away and kept the local bike mechanic in business for when I need mechanical work done.  And he looks after me well as a long-standing personal customer.  So that's worth the extra bucks.  And mine are the GT version which the ST13 requires.

"MICHELIN ROAD 6 120/70-17 58W FRONT MOTORCYCLE TYRE R6-120/70-17"

BTW- the ST1300 takes an 18" front tyre
FWIW I use the 170/60 on the rear without crashing out.

It can't be a "GT" if you're running that size, Bill...
Perhaps it's a 180/55ZR17?

That tyre was for Leo's Honda NT1100 which has a 17" front wheel, Bill...

No, it's definitely a 170.  I asked my guy for GT- will raise the matter with him.  Although I hate to think how much more those extra 10mm will cost me!   :'(

Should be an easy check, Bill...if it's a GT it will have GT on the side wall as in the pic below.

Cheers  :thumbsup

I'm up for a new set soon so it's down to a choice between these and the Pirelli Angel GTs, though both brands seem hard to find up in Brisbane currently  :fp

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the Angel GT's, should you decide to go that way

I've had a few sets before and i really like them. They are a bit softer but have a better road feel and give positive feedback. Have not had Michys since the PR4s.

I got the Michelin Road 6 on my NT1100 for about 2,000km so far. They feel good on the road and I like the chunky tread pattern which I think would be good if you have to do a little dirt like we did on a recent ride
So a  :like from me
