MICHELINRoad 6 GT Rear Motorcycle Tire 180/55ZR-17 (73W)

I have had earlier versions of this tire and they are great all-around tires: plenty of dry grip, wet grip, long wear and good feedback. Have had every tire under the sun, and these are at the top due to their balance and longevity on my BMW R1250RT. Remember, these tires (GT's) are designed for heavier sport-touring bikes.

I replaced a well worn (GP team TT veteran test tires) Dunlop D211 GP-A tires. The picture shows why lol.I loved those sticky GP-A's but I had to ride 30 miles normally to get them to stick where I suddenly felt like I was riding on a drag strip's sticky launch pad. Absolutely wonderful and confidence inspiring.The Road 6 GT's are even better and they stick after a mile just as good as the Dunlops, if not better. Controllability went up, braking confidence improved and high speeds were more stable and less vibration.I bought two, the 180/55-ZR 17 is the one I'm speaking of here. I'll CC this over to the front tire as well as it deserves the same praise.Summary: After you get home from your first ride on these the extra money simply won't matter.

Tire put on a 2021 BMW R1250RT. Works well in rain and dry. Ride is good grip is outstanding and wear is well above expectations. Overall very happy with tire.

Excellent quality tire. The manufactured date was fairly new. You have to have good motorcycle tires to be safe on the road

Item was correct and arrived earlier than expected at a better price than I could get anywhere locally
