Michelin 4 or 5

[slideplayer]

Hi peeps, decided to go for quality tyres for the bike,but which ones ? Anyone tried both types on a CBF 1000 ? Any advice most welcome. Many thanks.

Gidday slideplayer, I have run the Michelin 5 and they transformed the handling of my bike. Grip in corners was a huge improvement over the Dunlops. I currently have a Michelin Road 6 on the front and it is equally good. I was told by my tyre fitter that the Road 5 is no longer but you may be able to get it where you live.

Fit 6s all day long, astounding tyre.

Hi Slide
I'm on my 4th rear and 2nd front Metzeler roadtec 01, (now SE)and love them, i always check for latest reviews when its time to change the pair but always come back to the roadtec.
from reviews, other tyres last a bit longer but i love the grip and the smooth ride with the Roadtecs
You pays your money etc....

Road 6 has more grip and lasts longer, whats not to like 

If you can find Road 5's at a good price then still a great tyre.

Michelin Road is best tyre I`ve ever had,
no matter which version.
I always go for the lastest version, never went wrong.

The only tyre that gives me confidence no matter what weather, warm and dry, or in the wet and cold.
In case you don`t want to get scared off by rain or cold, these tyres are the only choice.

Well, that is, unless you like to live on the edge,
enjoying a nice slide so now and then is fun too of course.
That you can forget with these tyres.

Greez,
Moh

I have just ordered a pair of PR4's as the bike I have bought needs new rubber.

Got a pair of Bridgestone BT023's on stand by

Hi all,
A few months before selling my CTX1300, I had purchased an AVON Spirit ST rear tire for that bike - never mounted it as my previous tire wasn't ripe for replacement yet and I sold it with the bike as a spare.
Anyone has an opinion on this brand? Not easy to come by in France but that particular model for the CTX was really affordable compared to other brands so I'd be happy to hear from anyone with experience on these when the time comes for my Bifette...
Thanks

I'm surprised they are still available having been replaced with 5s and R6s some time ago! (I just hope thy have been stored well as I imagine it is a few years since they were manufactured.) However it remains a good tyre, just not as good as those of subsequent newer versions.
