Fantastic tire! I'm a heavier rider on a Kawasaki Versys 1000 LT 2018. I found these ties provide me with a smoother ride and a more comfortable grip on tight turns! Also, the extra layer of rubber provide a longer mileage for the investment.

My experience has been verry positive as the tyres have been providing a verry good performance balance between fast spirited road riding, touring and commuting to work and back. I have done over 10 000km's on this set of tyres now and although the rear has lost its original radius profile to a substantial extent, the feeling when rolling into bends have not deteriorated to what I am used to at this mileage mark with other brands of tires previously experienced. The roads in South Africa can often vary in surface texture, from good tarmac to deteriorated and uneven tar roads, loose aggregates, debris and potholes where a "road tough" tyre is required to cope with the variance in conditions that can be encountered. Good resistance against cutting and punctures is evident. The cold tire grip that these tyres offer is a major safety, and confidence inspiring factor in real life daily commute and touring use conditions. Navigating thru neighborhoods and thru traffic in built up areas does not really provide enough speed to warm up tyres quick enough and one must be more cautious about the traction limit with a typical sports tire in the warmup phase. The Road GT 6's offer the unique traits of a tyre that has exceptional levels of grip from cold and can be pushed hard like a sports tyre when warmed up and also provides exceptional resistance to wear. They will definitely be my first choice again when it is time to replace the current set.

Tyres are really good all-round tyres for urban roads, country highways and highspeed riding, very stable in all conditions. Have ridden in dry and light rain conditions. very happy with them. They do take slight more bar input that my previous Bridgestone tyres but they also smoothly transition into turns rather than fall into them which makes them a great sports touring tyre. Have only completed around 1000kms on them so far but they shape and everything is still very good.

Hi. As a young guy of only 72 l obviously don't commute. So on my R1200RT all my kilometres are touring and windy backroads across all of our states. The road 6's are great cornering in the wet and dry and l get the best kilometerage of any tyre I've had. Ok for made unsealed roads if care is taken. 10,000 km on the last pair in 3 months and l would head of on my next ride with these tyres.Ride safe.

I have Road 6 GT's on my Blackbird and they are a great wearing tyre with plenty of feel in the dry and offer lots of confidence in the wet.
