The Michelin Road 6 Motorcycle Tires 4500 Mile Review

Michelin Road 6 Motorcycle Tires

Increased Wet Grip!
15% more grip than the MICHELIN® Road 5 tire in wet conditions thanks to 100% MICHELIN® Silica Technology tread compounds and a new tread pattern featuring MICHELIN® Water Evergrip Technology™.

Ride even longer!2
The MICHELIN® Road 6 tire delivers 10% longer tread life compared to the previous generation.

Dedication to Innovation!
The MICHELIN® Road 6 tire typifies two decades of ongoing innovations and MICHELIN® Technologies from our highest level of expertise.

Increased Cornering Stability
MICHELIN® 2CT+ Technology™, which has been standard on the rear tire, is now applied to the front tire for better rigidity at lean, and more stability when cornering, especially under strong acceleration or heavy braking, compared to the previous generation.

I have nearly 12, 000 miles on a PR 4 on the rear of my Vstrom650. By far the best life I've gotten and a very confidence inspiring tire. It's worn out but not yet showing cord. I have a Road 6 waiting in the wings! At 70 y.o. I mostly ride secondary roads here in NW GA /TN/AL so it gets a good workout.

This and the Handling Improvements that I gain with the Road 6 is why its the ONLY tire that will go on my Concours 14.

Im on the SW side of florida and just bought a rear for my Ducati HM950/SP, only got about 2500 miles on a Rosso ll. These are real popular.

[KelsB]

I need more tires with similar performance as road 6, any suggestions ?

[Treeclimbingexpert]

Do wheelies damage tires? I have SV so I dont do wheelies. I got the road 6 they go on in a couple weeks. New chain and sprockets too.

[sparkypdx]

I picked up some road 6 can’t wait until i get them on. Non-GT. Honda ST1300.

Congratulations on your decision. We need honest reviewers like you are. Thanks a lot for your efforts !!!

Fitted Michelin road 6’s 2000 miles ago, now my 3rd set tyres on my v4 pikes peak. First two sets were obviously the standard rosso 4’s, I then fitted same tyres as a pair at 4k, did 3500miles on 2nd set, so tried the mich 6’s. Gotta be honest when I first rode away from having the Michelins 6’s fitted my pikes peak felt like I had off road tyres on it😳, was weird. But! After doing maybe 100 miles I kinda liked them. Did 1500 miles following week all around Scotland, a lot in rain sometimes heavy and all the miles on twisty roads, at speed. Now I really like the Michelin road 6’s . I’m now at 2000 miles, tyres look good, I’m sure I’ll get another 2000 miles, hopefully as I’m going to Isle of Man in august for week to watch Manx TT. 😊👍. I now really like these tyres. More than I thought I would to be honest. My v4 pikes peak is on 9000 miles now and it’s 10 months old, I’m out early morning and I consider myself a fast quick rider, those who do long rides or bigger mileages will understand when I say you get into rhythm quickly. That’s me. My only problem is I can’t stop riding my bike😂, I rode lot demos, Tuono, ktm 1290r, v4s, etc etc so happy I bought this v4. It’s effortless. Love your content Rembo. You are welcome to come stay and enjoy the twisty roads of Scotland anytime . 😊👍👍

Do these tires work with Supersports I have a gsxr 750 mainly highway stuff and weekend mountain rides nothing to aggressive

Hey Rembo, Another Pikes Peak owner here and the timing of this video couldnt be better!!!! I am just about to get new tires as my Rorro Corsa IV's are gone at 4200 miles. I had just about made up my mine on these Road 6 tires, but your video makes my decision easy!! I ride the Malibu Hills pretty hard every Sunday, so Ill let you know how they hold up in the canyons. I had 6000 miles on Road 5;s on my 2023 BMW R1250RT that I rode hard and they had at least 2, 000 miles left when I sold it. Thanks again! Next will be the full exhaust!!

Morning, I use the Michelin roads already from number three to the 6 that I have now installed on my KTM SA S and the 5 on my Kawasaki Z900 rs and very very happy with them

[Tainted-Soul]

I must admit I was sceptical about the road 6 when I got my new ( new 2nd hand ) bike that they would handle the power and still grip So far I am well impressed the H2 SX se runs well on them and I hope I get 4500 miles out of them I used S21's on my zx12r and loved them but only got 2500 miles out of the rear and 3500 miles out of the front.

[traeucity]

Thank you, for this timely review. I guess the algorithms detected and reported my search for the Michelin Road 6 motorcycle tires and led me to you. I'm very happy with your results; as I have yet to receive and mount my new tires. I greatly appreciate the fact that you are an honorable and principled man. Stay safe.

Road 6 tires are legit. Dont get me wrong, the factory Pirelli tires were great, but they dont hold a candle to the Road 6 tires for road use in my opinion. Absolutely love them up here in Colorado.

Cheers

awesome video appriciate the video!! just ordered mine now

[davidneven]

Hi Rembo, I have Road 6's on my V4SMS now, only 3k KMS so far but the R5's I had on my previous bike (KTM 1290 SDGT) easily lasted 15k kms (9, 000 miles)with tread still above the wear markers and good grip to the end 👍

I run Michelin's around 35psi Front & 37psi Rear because they are Kevlar belt construction, not steel belt, so they last longer by running cooler than steel belted tyres. I love their profile. They feel planted and neutral yet tip in nicely in corners and their grip is phenominal, dry or wet. Truly great tyres....👍 Running high pressures does not extend tyre life or help maintain good grip. Modern tyres have high silica content and multi later compounds for more even wear.

You will wear yours out faster than me so I look forward to your 9k mile assessment 👍

[RideSafeNSmart]

Admire the integrity and thanks for the review. I was impressed with the road 5s and think i will probably go for these next 👍

[AzraelIgnis]

I bought these recently for my MT09. It transformed my riding experience.

[HotSizzleTV_]

How many miles until you have to replace your tires? I just bought these for my gsxr 600 getting installed soon

[matthewtrinh]

I’m a daily commuter averaging 50 miles round trip. I’m curious how these will hold up with more heat cycles in a given month compared to a person riding less frequently with more miles. We also have to factor in Highway miles compared to stop and go city miles. Guess we’ll see.
