Michelin Magic
I have always used manufacturers tyres, and have now tried Pilot4, 5, and 6. I will never go back. These are the tyres every motorcyclist needs to use.
Excelent compromise
Great tyre, progressive, brings a lot of comfort, maneuverability and grip!
GOOD GRIP - wet or dry
A set was installed on my 2002 BMW R1150RT, matched front & rear in OEM sizes. These tires provide excellent traction, reliable handling, and good durability. Running the mountain backroads of Tennessee, including the Tail of the Dragon, these tires performed magnificently. The limiting factors, in my experience, are ground clearance and control inputs. With smooth and even control inputs, I run out of ground clearance before I run out of traction, wet or dry. Excellent product. Will continue to ride on these tires.
I am staying with the Pilot Road 4 GT's
I have been using the 4 GT's since they came out. I tried Bridgestones, Pirellis, Dunlaps Metzlers, and even the 5GT's. I have returned to 4 GT's each time and am so satisfied with them i won't try anything again. I am on my third BMW RT and love the 4 GT's I can get twice the mileage from a set, and the dual compound is perfect for my 50/50 riding, aggressive in the twisties in East TN and Western NC, and touring gentle sweepers elsewhere. Excellent grip in all conditions. Cold weather and summer heat. Rain and slushy snow. They have NEVER gotten me into trouble. I have even plugged a rear tire in Yellowstone and rode home 1,800 miles!. One a price per mile basis the cheapest tire i can buy, never mind it's the best. On long trips I can get about 8,000 miles out of a set. Local mixed riding is about 4,500. Still about double that of other brands in similar conditions. (I ride about 20,000 miles a year).
Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT vs Road 5 GT
Going back to Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT. Road 13,000 miles on one set on a BMW K1600 GT. Replaced them with Road 5 GT and only got 5,000 miles. Road 5 GT has great grip but not worth the difference in mileage. Road 6 GT should be the newer version of the 5 GT, so Road 4 GT is it for me.
Thank you, bikes66, for your review!
