Great product
These tires are great this precision handling they’re very durable. They perform great in all weather A smooth, comfortable ride
Amazing do it all Tyre
I have ridden several generations of this tire from the Macadam (FJ1200) to the current Road 6 and Road 6 GT. I have tried Continentals, Dunlops, Metzeler but always come back to the Michelins. The 6 is by far the best one yet. I REALLY loved the Road 5 and went through about 8 sets on my ZX14 and R1. It was stable, predicable and still let me go into the corners without issue. 2up or solo SPORT touring the tire never let me down. The Road 6 is even better. I'm on my 4th set on my Bandit 1250.
Great for the twisties even when wet.
I do a lot of hair raising steep twisties on wet mountain roads with these Road 6 tires. No slippage or break in the traction patch due to water, or even traction control warnings on my rear tire. While they are soft enough really to grab the asphalt on a lean, they are very durable (unavoidable sharp stones and scree haven't marred them). They ride really nice and are very comfortable when properly inflated. These are my favorite everyday tires.
Dont recommend
The rear tire wobbles and goes back and forth on the freeway

2024 Ninja 650 stock tires were not cutting it. The change in grip (in dry & especially wet conditions) is remarkable.
I have experience them both in dry & wet conditions . A-roads up to motorways and have had no issues at all other than obvious slippery surfaces like grime covered cobbels but the bike still stayed under manageable control. Under quick load with a lot of torque I have had perfect grip both in the dry & wet. I have a modified Fireblade and ride it most times like I stole it and I highly recommend these tyre. Would only look into changing for track use.
Michelin Road 6 tires
I have been riding on Michelin Road tires for many many years. I just love them. They are great in the rain. I can get over 10,000 miles on a set of tires. My last set was the Road 6 tires. They are performing like all the previous ones have performed. I will buy no other tires than the Michelin Road tires as long as I am riding motorcycles.
Very Pleased with Road 6s
I have been using Road 6s on my 2015 Kawasaki Versys 1000 since 2023. Compared to the OE Bridgestone T32s, the turn-in characteristics are amazingly better. The Road 6s 'woke up' the handling, and made the bike feel much more sporting in nature. I ride very aggressively, and the Road 6s last longer that the T32s and also have far superior wet weather grip. I get 10,000 miles out of a front Road 6, and 5,000 miles out of a rear Road 6. The accelerated wear on the rear is due to a very heavy top box (I like to carry a lot of junk in my trunk), and my aggressive riding style.
Great Tire!!
Great tires. I like how easy they are to install. They have good wet traction and cornering grip. The lifespan has increased with the later versions of the “road” series of tires which is appreciated.
Confidence inspiring
Incredibly sticky, confidence inspiring. Wear very well considering their adhesion and quick steering.
