  • 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

  • Amazing tire.
Size: 190/50ZR-17 (73W)
I've put about 3-4k miles on these and I can BARELY see it starting to flatten. I mostly use my bike for commuting in phoenix which has a lot of straight roads with almost no turns and despite that, its barely worn down. I can lean on these pretty comfortably and feel confident in them. Haven't felt them slip at all. ... show more

  • Phenomenal
Size: 190/55ZR-17 (75W)
These tires are amazing. My favorite tire ever. I’m honestly blown away at how capable they are. The above photos weee taken after 2 and 3 track days respectively and about 1800 and 2000 street miles respectively. Perfect tire wear. The tires have tons of grip and when they do start to slide it is a very predictable slide. I was worried about overheating these tires at the track but I did not have that problem at all, they never overheated or got greasy at all. These tires do it all, dry grip, wet grip, they don’t require warmers and they have an insane amount of life. I’m sure I could do 2-3 more track days and another couple thousand street miles which is absolutely insane. As far as road riding goes I have no complaints at all, tire has grip, wet or dry. I was honestly expecting these tires to be completely worn out after one track day but they are barely worn at all. Tires are on a 2010 multistrada 1200 and I ride in A group at the track. I don’t write reviews…. Ever. But these tires are just THAT good! For anyone who thinks they are expensive, they are. But… I’ve worn out good tires (Pirelli Supercorsa SC3, Michelin Pilot Power, Michelin Power 5) in half the time so if you look at it that way the road 6 is really a bargain. I’ll run this tire until they stop making it. ... show more

  • The best, especially in rain
Size: 180/55ZR-17 (73W)
Great tire, very confident inspiring. Great to have in rainy florida. They have never slipped on me, even when caught in heavy downpours. Mounted them on my mt-07. Daily riding for 10 months, i had to replace the rear because of 3 separate punctures from debris on the road but tread still had half its life left. ... show more

  • Great mileage and a smooth ride.
Size: 120/70ZR-17 (58W)
This is a upgrade to my Michelin road 5, these tires are amazing. If you want a smooth ride and lots of miles on a tire, then this is for you. I've gotten over 4000 miles on the road 5 on my Gen 1 busa which had probably another 4000 left, but I ran over a screw so I had to change. Great tires, you'll love them. ... show more

  • I would buy again, just what I needed
Size: 180/55ZR-17 (73W)
After noticing that my tires were thread there on my harley, I decided to order them through Amazon rather than go to a dealer. It was a good value and quality. They have nice deep tread
