Good, confidence inspiring
Size: 180/55ZR-17 (73W)
Excellent tire for grip on dry and wet road. Ok to balance and install. First one got a puncture at just 2k miles. Hard to say on longevity but i immediately replaced with same rear because i liked it. Had very little visible wear. On 2020 Yamaha Tracer 900GT

Favorite tire for 600’s
Size: 180/55ZR-17 (73W)
Great tire! I have switched to these on my zx6r’s instead of the power 6 and I love these. They are well worth the extra money and last a few thousand miles more than the power 6. I would buy these for any bike in the middle weight super-sport class.

The best street tires you can get
Size: 140/70ZR-17 (66W)
I’ve used Michelin Road tires since I was 14, they’re always the best quality tires, these ones are perfect for road, and I even rode them on a little gravel and they do just fine. You really don’t hear them at all. And they look great on my MTO3

Excellent Longevity and Performance
Size: 120/70ZR-18 (59W)
The Michelin Road 6 front tire has been outstanding. After more than a year of use, it still looks and performs like new. Grip, stability, and overall confidence on the road have remained consistent throughout its lifespan. Very impressed with the durability and quality.

Had 10k on my last rear, and never broke traction once. A great tire.

Absolutely Yes.
Size: 120/70ZR-17 (58W)
These tires are fantastic. I put them on my Ninja650 and found they're perfect in rain and sun. They're confidence inspiring, and they grips perfectly in the corners. I then proceed to get this brand and model tire for my cbr600rr as well to the same assessment. I installed them in my living room, with hand tools only. They have been going for about 4k miles on the cbr and 2k ok the ninja. Its beyond worth every penny. ... show more
