Look at the size of my rear tire; it wasn't a GT. GT refers to bikes that are more powerful.
I purchased the set for my bike, with dates of March 2018 for the front and September 2018 for the rear.
Selected User Reviews For MICHELIN Road 5 Touring Radial Tire-180/55ZR-17 73W
Just returned from a 2000-mile road trip through the Smoky Mountains, which included some of the country's twistiest and best-riding roads. The Cherohala Skyway, the Tail of the Dragon, and a slew of others. I can honestly say that I never had anything less than 100% confidence in these tires at any time in my life. I'm the proud owner of a 2014 Yamaha Fz-S. I can also say that until I rode on these tires, I'd never leaned so far over to scrape the footpegs on that bike. On dirt and gravel, I included about 100 miles of unimproved surface roads, and they performed similarly to a street tire. I got about 10,000 miles out of my Road 4s, and I expect the Pilot Road 5s to do the same. This is the best tire on the market!.
Michelin tires are my favorite because of their traction, despite the fact that they don't get great mileage. I believe the lower mileage is due to the fact that I drive a BMW with telelever suspension. I only get about 5 to 6 thousand miles out of each set, and both front and rear tires show abnormal wear at the same time, so I replace both when one shows wear.
I've ridden it for over 3000 miles on the street and it's still in great shape, despite the fact that I'm a hard rider. They have a lot more grip than the stock tire and feel great in the corners, so you can ride with more confidence. This tire is excellent for any motorcycle with a lot of power.
Fast shipping and a good tire; the date on the tire was 4619, which means it was made in the 46th week of 2019. I'm always wary of buying tires online because some sellers sell out-of-date tires, but I'll buy from THIS seller again! Thanks!.
Running on a cbr1100xx, this is a fantastic tire. Bike ol sport tourer with speed and sportbike style. At all times, this tire performs admirably. It gives me a sense of assurance. It's been about 2k miles, and thanks to the dual compound, there's still plenty of life left in it. Although it is a costly tire, I believe the quality will be worth it.
Tec. This is a significant improvement over my previous Continental Battleaxes and even Michelin Road 4s. Will continue to use them. On my heavy mores sport-tourer Honda VFR800, it's fantastic. With confidence, I take corners and dust the 600s.
My 2012 R6 is a CBR900rr and it is far from stock. Without a doubt, the 2005 GSX1300R Road 5 is the best wet weather motorcycle. I've never seen anything like the spring tires I've ever put on my bikes. They've lasted 7000 miles since the last set I put on the R6 last fall. They're also pricey, but they're well worth it.
