No better tire on the market
I ride a 2014 Kawasaki Concours GTR1400. It is a 700 lb sport/tour motorcycle. My bike before that was a 2012 Concours. They eat tires like you wouldn’t believe… well … not the Road 5! The performance, handling, and durability is amazing. I promise, you won’t go wrong choosing this brand. After all, it’s your butt that’s on the line.
The best for your Beast
I like the way they feel - so perfect for my day to day ride, luckily i was able to try them in the rain as soon as i put them on - now my confidence is up in the sky
Great Tires
I love the longevity and the grip that boosts your confidence.
Best Steet Tires ever
I’ve been riding for over 40 years and I think the Michelin Pilot road are the best series of tires I have ever used. All around wet, dry and aggressive riding they perform great in all conditions.
Best road tire ever.
I just love these tires in all conditions on the road and would not hesitate to take them to the track especially in wet conditions.
Nail magnets
Great tires in the wet and dry but something about them make them stand up nails and screws for the rear tire to pick up. I’ve had 2 punctures in the rear with one being an unrepairable slash and in reading online this is a common problem with these. It’s a shame but I have gone to another tire which is not quite as good but a proven performer
Great tire!
What an excellent all around tire! Wet grip, dry traction and outstanding longevity combined with stable braking performance. Another great tire in the Road series of tires.
The best just keeps getting better!
I was introduced to the Michelin Road 4 on my 2016 Yamaha MT-07 as factory fitment. I was so impressed with the grip in wet, dry, hot or cold conditions combined with their longivity it imediately became my tire of choice for my 11 other road bikes. Now with the Road 5 I have the standard on my naked bikes, the GT on my heavy touring bikes and the Trail on my V-Strom and have never been more happy!
