These tires Exceeded my Expectations
First of all i want to start by saying Michelins are pricey and held off and always put your less pricey (mich off brands) tires on my vehicles. Didnt have that option for my M/C so i splurged! They exceeded my expectations & well worth the money for sure. Performance is off the chart in every category!
Too Loud
Tires handle well but they get ridiculously loud starting around 4,000 miles. This is my second set of GT 6 tires. Both sets have the same issue. Noise starts around 4,000 miles when leaning in either direction. By 4500 miles they “wail” even going straight. My buddies make me ride in the back.
Pauli, thank you for your review of the MICHELIN Road 6 tire! We appreciate your feedback. We are sorry you are experiencing more road noise than usual. Please have your bike checked out by your trusted motorcycle dealer, sometimes incorrect mounting, incorrect balancing, worn motorcycle components, etc can be a root cause.

Noisy
Handle well. But this is my second set of Road GT and they absolutely WAIL beginning at around 4000 miles. It starts when you lean left or right, and eventually even when just going straight. I mean they are LOUD. My buddies make me ride in the back so they don’t have to hear the noise. Sounds like an 18 wheeler.
Best tires by far!!!!!
Well, this is my 3rd pair of Road Pilot tires and can say that they are the best tires for for rain, and longevity bar none. The last set of Road Pilot 5's when 20,000 km's, I've never had a set of tires go over 10,000 km's. I've had all the top brands and nothing comes close. My wife and I went across Canada and put on 15,000kms of riding and still going strong.
Good tires but rebate process poor
The tires are great but the customer service to get the $80 rebate not so good. I did actually receive the rebate credit card but I was unable to activate it. I had to call in to get a new rebate card issued and I am still waiting for that. Given the circumstances, good customer service would have fast tracked a new rebate card and I should have received it long ago.
Great tires
Purchased these tires to replace Pirelli's. They are great, everything I expected from them. Will always stick with Michelin.
My Tires
Great tires, very sticky
Downgraded
Michelin had the perfect tire with the Road 5 GT, it they failed with the ‘improved’ Road 6 GT. I was able to get 6k miles (service intervals) out of a set of 5 GT tires on my RT. With the 6 GT, I get only slightly over half that many miles. Super disappointing. I hope Michelin just re-releases the 5 GT and calls it their new and improved 7 GT.
Bob27, thank you for your feedback. The wear of a tire can vary depending on riding style, usage, load, riding conditions, and proper inflation. It is always recommended to take your bike in to a local dealer for inspection to see if there could be any underlying conditions.

Nice set of tires
Can't wait to get them on the road
Pulls to the left!
Great tire, good grip, fun to flick around. But the moment you take your hands from the handle bars, as you do sometimes to stretch for example, the bike pulls hard to the left.
