Michelin Road 6 Tyres

First launched back in 2002, the Michelin Pilot Road was one of the game-changing modern tyres that worked amazingly well in the wet.

This sixth generation of the firm’s sporttouring hoop aims to continue the tradition with even better wet weather performance than the previous Road 5 fitment.

The firm claims a 15% improvement in wet grip over the Road 5 – as well as 10% more mileage.

The new tread pattern looks sweet, 100% silica compound boosts grip on cold damp surfaces, and there’s a GT version for larger, heavier machines like the Suzuki Hayabusa and BMW K 1600. Available in all the popular sizes, and in the shops now.

RRP: From about £250 www.michelin.co.uk
