With the limited range available that fit the modern classic range it is nice to know Michelin are producing this tyre. Have ridden in all weather conditions and never stepped out of line

These are my 3rd set of different tyres on my 2017 Triumph Street Scrambler. I fancied something with a bit more road bias as I rarely rode off road. Coming from Pirelli Scorpion STR Rallys and Metzler Tourance the improvement was immediate: Much stickier and the tyre profile meant leaning into a turn was much easier. In fairness to Pirelli, both Michelin and Pirellis are very good in rain and also at braking. I've ridden for 25 years on various bikes. There comes a point with each bike you own when you identify the tyres you're happiest for the bike and how you use it. If like me you keep your Triumph St Scrambler mainly on the roads, I would not hesitate to recommend the Road Classics these are now my GoTo Tyres.

Replaced both front and rear of the old Actives' with the new road classic. Immediately had very bad vibration at about 60 kph. Eventually found a old stock active to replace the front and problem gone. Rear has been good but without comment from Michelin that the problem is fixed I can't waste money on trusting another set.

Are there any recalls or known defects with the Road Classic tires? I'm on my second brand-new set after the first caused excessive vibration at 60 and 80 km/h, and I'm still experiencing similar issues with the new set at different speeds. I wouldn't recommend them.

Good tyre with a nice profile, confidence inspiring handling and performance.
