Questions & Answers

I'd like to ask you two questions, the first of which is as follows: Isn't this only the back tire? Is this the standard model or the GT model?

Look at the size of my rear tire; it wasn't a GT. GT refers to bikes that are more powerful.

When did it come out?

I purchased the set for my bike, with dates of March 2018 for the front and September 2018 for the rear.

The industry's best streetbike tires
5/5

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!.

The traction is excellent
5/5

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.

For the fz09/mt09, the best tire is This is a truly incredible tire
5/5

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.

Fresh rubber is shipped quickly! The best tire I've ever seen
5/5

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 I'm always wary of buying tires online because some sellers sell out-of-date tires, but I'll buy from THIS seller again!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!.

I did some research, gave it a shot, and I really liked it
5/5

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.

On the Honda VFR800 v-twin, the Road 5s are fantastic
5/5

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.

I've never used a better wet weather tire
5/5

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.
