Changed to Road 5s and feel more assured in the dry and the wet.

I have been riding super bikes since 1985 and now currently riding a ZX14R, on all my previous bikes and 1st rear tyre on the ZX14R, the best Km's I got was average 9000 km, I watched the episode on The Bike Show with Donavan Fourie testing the Road 5 and decided to give them a go, best decision ever, besides the fantastic edge grip, I got 16 400 km's on the combo, I have subsequently upgraded to the Road 6 and haven't looked back. Well done Michelin.

Being an all weather daily rider, I ask a lot of my tyres. Long wearing, grip in wet and dry conditions, able to cop abuse from bad road surfaces and last but not least, good handling with consistent and predictable behaviour. A unicorn tyre. In 40 years of riding, I have yet to meet a street tyre as close to perfect for my needs as the Michelin Road 5

After the stock tyres were fully squared, I was looking for something that could last longer and provide more grip. Even though it’s most costly, the extended lifespan of the dual compound tyre means you end up paying the same for better tyres. Will look for the Road 6 after this set needs replacing.

Have travelled 16k kms on my BMW R9T, they remain round and sticky in the twisties and also grippy and confidence inspiring when wet in the city at slow speeds… it will be time to change them soon - but I probably will end up looking for the same or the latest road 6
