Love these tires
Bought these tires as a replacement for my 2022 Ducati Multistrada V4s which came from the factory with pirelli scorpion trail 2 tires. I have kept the OEM tires on my last multitrada and have about 40,000 mi of use on them. As soon as I switch to the new road 6 I immediately felt and increase in performance and handling, acceleration and braking felt sharper, cornering felt more stable, all around on road these tires have been phenomenal. They have a slight drawback compared to the scorpion trail 2 with loose terrain but they are not meant to be dual sport tires. Overall tread life isn't a extreme as I would have liked, getting about 8-10,000 mi out of a rear which has been typical for sports touring tires for this bike. For an overall sports touring tire, these are hard to beat.

Review from Older Novice
I have not reviewed anything before, but here goes. The Road 6 tire is head over heels better than the Road 5. Having used both, the feel of the road, traction and confidence they give a rider is unmeasurable. I've ridden for 40 plus years and would recommend this tire exclusively.

Excellent !
These tires go very well with my R1250GS. Complements the handling very well. Over 6000 miles on rear and likely 2-4000 left. Will buy them again.
Road 6 come stock Triumph Trident 660
This is truly and awesome tire. I've pushed these tire probably more then they should be. I did notice in a hard down hill left hander the rear tire chatting over tar snakes but with little or no effect with control or no step out. I well continue to run these tires based on the proven performance
Great tire for BMW 1250GSA
I have tried the Road/Trail 5 tires and Anakee adventure tires for th BMW 1250GSA. I wanted to try to get 12,000 miles out of the Road 6 tires to make it between service intervals. I took two long cross country road trips 98% pavement and the tires survived 11,000 miles but I think it will be very difficult to get 12,000 out of this tire. My riding habits are moderate. I dont baby the tire but I was not ripping it and abusing the bike or the tire during these trips. They have great cornering, ride smooth and handle non technical dirt just fine. I am going to get another pair but I am torn between this and the anakee adventure. My adventure riding involves thousands of miles of pavement between dirt roads and I am not sure which tire suits me but both are just great all around tires. The ROAD 6 is a great tire.
Excellent Tire
I bought a set for my GS1250 adventure and I could not be happier. Exceptional handing and smooth. Handle the rain and gravel very well. Great option for the bike that lives on asphalt with occasional gravel.

9,000 miles so far
Amazing tires on my Honda NC750X DCT. Great grip and feel. I'm expecting these to last another 7,000 miles at least.
Michelin Road 6 review
i have tested all the road series tires. I thought the Road 5 were the best for sport tire performance and wet tire performance. But the Road 6 is much better. It felt like I had a suspension upgrade. Softer on irregular roads, yet sticks like glue on dry or wet.

Best purchase I made
I have gone several thousand miles on the road 6 and i can't be any happier with the performance on dry twisty roads or heavy rain. I can't wait to see what Michelin will do with the data they have collected from this tire to make it even better in the future.

Best Road Tires Yet
The new Road 6 on my 2019 Triumph Tiger 1,200 are more stable at high speeds. Same great grip in the wet. I have 7,000 miles on them now and they look about half worn so they are wearing great. Much better than the road 4 and 5's. Only thing I notice if I'm on a flat smooth road and I lean left or right I'm now picking up a roads noise from the tires I've never experienced with the "road" tires before. Sounds like a slight bearing noise. I had the same noise on another bike over 15 years ago when I ran Dunlop's.
Hi Gary, 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.
