    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.

    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  :152:

    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,
