The trail version is specifically designed for taller bikes with longer travel suspension whereby the side walls are more compliant thus basically more comfortable than the standard or the GT version. The 6's not offer a trail version yet so i have stuck with the trail 5 version until the 6's trail version comes out as i value compliance or comfort more.

Use the correct name. Michelin has dropped "Pilot" from their Road 5 and Road 6 tires. The Road 5 GT tires on my Wethead RT have been perfect. Great confidence, all the way to the edge. Good grip in wet conditions. Outstanding tires! I've gotten 14,000 to 15,000 km out of each set. Maybe your riding skills are the problem.

hi, I mounted them a little while ago and I only did 300 km and I must say that they are fine. the only thing I have to see is if they oscillate like the Road 5 did at other speeds. Beyond 190/200 km / h it fluctuated a lot

I’m riding a BMW R1250GS TE with OEM tyres. I was intending to fit the Michelin 6 tyres but my local dealer is having difficulty sourcing the “trail” rear but can get the GT rear. He also offered the Metzeler Tourance Next 2 pair, but having had the Pilot 4 on my previous bike I’m probably going to stick with the Michelins. I’d be interested in your views, opinions and review of the Metzeler though.

I would love to know about the Dunlop Trailmix Mission vs the Road 6. I rode more in rain/ashfalt most of the time and maybe 10% light off road. The only tire experience I have in my previous and current GS/A are with the OEM Bridgestone Batlax a41, and they are PRETTY GOOD in rain. Thanks a lot, would appreciate a feedback.

Hi - I have a R1250 GSA, since the day I picked it up I have been disappointed with the horrendous road noise from the from coming up around the forks and the tank area. Current tyres are Bridgestone Battlax Adventure, still like new. But I'm prepared to change them. Did the Michelin Road 6 have any front road noise mate ?? Thanks.

I have the same issue on my r1200gs. Horrendous noise coming from the front. I have the Michelin Anakee Adventure tyres and or I will try new quite tyres or another motor. I am super sensitive on sound/noise and for me it’s pretty much unbearable to ride the damn thing.

They're plenty good but if you're fast they'll only last like 8-10k km, I had power 5s on my cbr650r and they lasted almost 6, 50/50 highway 140-160kmh and fast twisties End of the day if it rains enough times to annoy you get the roads, if not, the powers, there is a different but I probably won't go back to powers, too small of a difference for the mileage you lose
