Questions & Answers
My front was created in the 12th week of 2021.
They're the only tires I'll use on my F 800 GT, and they're the only ones I'll use. I've put 7000 miles on them so far, and the rear is good for another 2000 miles. This is the bike I use for touring.
The Road 5 gt is designed for bikes that are more powerful. (Higher load rating) Other than that, it's pretty much the same.
On the whole, it's a good tire. However, I am unaware of your BMW bike's exact wheel size.

Shipping is quick. I've gotten 10k miles out of the front, and there's still a couple more miles left in the tank. The rear is doing well, but the center is a little flat. Surprisingly for a literbike, tires ignore most road imperfections (crack filler, grooves) when new. Little effort is required when entering a high-speed corner, and the tracking is excellent. I believe that if I let go in the middle of a corner, the bike will maintain itself. br>It appears that the front tire is making a lot of noise. I've heard that the rears have a proclivity for throwing rocks, and I believe it. In my opinion, this is an excellent feature. Tailgaters are pelted, and when I'm stuck going slow, I notice larger gaps behind me. br>I can't emphasize how important it is to set your suspension correctly. Otherwise, it's easy to point the finger at the tires. br>However, I wish the rear center was softer. In a braking emergency, I prefer to use the rear brake, but when the ABS kicks in, the rear brake becomes less useful than I'd like. In the wet, the same goes for hard acceleration. Michelin made a few concessions in the center to increase mileage, assuming that a responsible rider won't be a thug in the rain. Until these, I'd never had to do a front after a back. br>br>As an aside, the new tire's date code is 1221 (March 2021). For the 1250 and 1200 bandits.
If you live somewhere where it rains a lot, this might not be the tire for you. I've had a few kick outs on rainy days on painted arrows and tar snakes, and I don't think I'll be buying the 5's in the future. I live in Seattle, and I'm sure they're good tires, but the kick outs decelerating in the dark rainy nights on tar snakes and paint marks is a little more than I'm.
I have two sets of road 5's on my Yamaha Fj09, and this is my second set. On the back tire, I got 11,500 miles and on the front, I got 15,500 miles. Prior to the fives, I had been riding on fours, which were also a good tire. What comfort it provides to have great side traction even in the rain!.
Maybe it's because I was riding on an old front tire, but riding on my FZ6 with this Road 5 is a completely different experience. The only thing that comes close is the first time I used a pair of shape skis and they seemed to turn on their own. The bike is only interested in carving its way up the canyon.
I received it after two days. The following day, I had it installed. The tire is in excellent condition and performs admirably. These tires aren't inexpensive. I'm hoping the mileage proves to be accurate. Yamaha FJR 1300 FJR1300FJR1300FJR1300.
On the market, the best sport touring tire! With a focus on the sport.
Last time I tried Road 4's, they didn't last long in terms of mileage and front tire cupping. I'm hoping for a better Road 5 this time.
