Impressed!
I bought my motorcycle new in Nov ‘23 with the Michelin tyres already fitted. It is now April ‘’25 and I have done 22300 km on them! I had a minor service done a week ago and they said my FRONT tyre needs replacing soon before the 30k service, which means they can probably go for another +-5000 kms..? I have ridden 100km+ in torrential rain, gravel, muddy surface. I’m getting a new set in the next week or so! Excellent durability, performance overall! I can safely say I feel safe on the road/s! Thank you!!

Unmatched Performance and Grip: Michelin Motorbike Tyres Take Your Ride to the Next Level!
I recently fitted Michelin motorbike tyres to my bike, and I am thoroughly impressed! The grip and handling are exceptional, offering confidence in both dry and wet conditions. Whether I’m cornering at high speeds or navigating tight turns, the tyres provide excellent stability and traction. The ride feels smoother, and I can definitely notice an improvement in overall performance. The longevity is also great, and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in wear compared to previous brands. Michelin has truly delivered a top-tier product for motorcyclists. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their ride!

Stop looking at other tires and buy these.
Stop looking at other tires. Yes these cost a touch more than other brands but they perform under ALL conditions. Torrential downpours of rain, sudden inch deep hail, 10 mile silty gravel road to a camp site, it can do it all and be plenty sticky on super twisty mountain roads. I will not buy another brand and used the 2, 3, 4 and 5 makes and will gladly use the 6 when it comes out.
