Road 5 TYRE REVIEW

Poor longevity

Pilot road 5 front Only lasted 6000 kilometres, Easy driving at that only on the road.

Ride with Confidence

Changed to Road 5s and feel more assured in the dry and the wet.

Excellent all purpose tyre

An excellent all year and general purpose tyre. Certainly very good in the wet. My R1200rt is a good match for the tryres. Wear seems very good. I would consider these tyres excellent for touring.

Quality tyre

Had two sets on my 07 Blackbird can’t fault them Very stable in the wet

Speed twin 1200 perfect tyre

Done many miles with these now, in rain, in mixed damp roads and dry warm days and they are excellent. Give fantastic confidence in the wet all the grip you need in the dry. I would even trackday with these (intermediate). Perfect road tyre and are wearing excellent

Poor design and testing

Great tyre in the dry and equally seems good for traction and grip in wet, but such a poor design, you and your bike get absolutely covered in muck and road spray. The 3D progressive stripes suck up whatever is on the road and lob it back at you. I’ve never been so wet and mucky from winter riding.

Solid Tyres

Replaced old tyres with the Michelin Road Pilot 5s which give me assurance and confidence in all weathers.

Excellent tire in all conditions

Warm, cold, rain, dry, … doesn’t matter. This tyre performs flawlessly in all conditions. Lasts long too, 12000 - 13000 kms easily.

Skid master

I have never ridden a rear tire this bad since Avon brought out the Deathmaster back in 1886 - been out 4 times on the bike and 4 times it steeped out , slid the bike completely sideways - utterly hopeless . Don’t go near these commuter tires , if your bike has any kind of performance

très bien pour mes utilisations ( route, autoroute)
