What Riders Are Saying
★★★★★

Constant rain for an entire day on a 2,000-mile road trip. I didn't think once about how the bike was handling — nearly no different from dry pavement.

★★★★★

14,000km on the front and just hitting wear bars. I didn't know you could have incredible grip AND great mileage at the same time.

★★★★★

Mountain roads in the rain — no slippage, no traction control warnings, no drama. Soft enough to grip at lean, durable enough for sharp road debris.

Frequently Asked
Road 6 vs Road 5 — what actually changed? ›

Two measurable improvements: +15% wet grip (Silica Technology + Water Evergrip tread pattern) and +10% longer tread life. The 2CT+ dual compound — previously rear-only — now covers the front tire too, giving better lean rigidity on both ends. There's also a Road 6 GT variant with a reinforced carcass for heavier bikes and two-up touring.

What does the load/speed rating mean? (54W, 73W, 75W) ›

The number is the Load Index (max weight the tire can support). The letter is the Speed Rating. W = up to 168 mph. ZR construction exceeds 150 mph. The SKU panel above always shows the exact lbs and mph for the selected tire.

What does MTC's installation include? ›
Mount (per tire)$69.00
Balance (per tire)$9.95
Disposal (per tire)$3.50
Per tire total$82.45

Walk-in, no appointment needed. Front + rear same day: 60–90 min.

Should I buy front and rear from the same model? ›

Highly recommended. Michelin designs front and rear compounds to complement each other. Use the matching tire picker above to add both positions.
