I have had 6 sets of Road 6’s and always found them to provide superb grip in both wet and dry conditions and give good mileage. I ride all year covering around 8000 miles per year, they are my go to tyres for year round confidence.

Terms of publication and processing of reviewsA marked step up for me on all the other tyres I have used
I am a fairly experienced rider and have ridden a range of motorbikes over decades. I currently ride the K1600GTL so have a limited range from which to use as the tyres need to be a "GT" version capable of heavy and powerful bikes. I have had a lot of success in fairness with other premium makes but this is my second set of Road 6 GT. Right off they feel very positive in the front steering and a noticeable improvement to others. In all conditions i find then very good and I feel confident in all aspects. Tyre wear too is as good or better for my style of riding so whilst a little more expensive this evens out for me. The one thing i find is that even when nearing the end life i still get a great performance on corninging and feel.

Fitted a set of the Road 6 GT’s to my K1600b for our trip to the Alps, and they didn’t disappoint. Rode through heavy rain and in 37 degree heat and the tyres were faultless. Great grip offered in all conditions and certainly gave good levels confidence for progressive riding. We covered 2,500 miles two up and fully loaded for an 18 day trip and the tyres are still in good condition with plenty of tread left.
