FAQs

What makes the Road 6 better in wet conditions?

The Road 6 features 100% silica technology and a new tread pattern, which together contribute to a 15% increase in wet grip compared to its predecessor, the Road 5, enhancing safety and control in rainy conditions.

How often should I check my tyre pressure?

It is recommended to check your tyre pressure at least once a week, and always before a long ride, using a reliable gauge. Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for the correct pressure settings.

Can I use this tyre for off-road riding?

No, the MICHELIN Road 6 is specifically designed for road use, prioritizing performance, grip, and longevity on paved surfaces. It is not intended for off-road or dirt track applications.

What is the lifespan of the Road 6 tyre?

The Road 6 is engineered for longevity and consistent performance throughout its lifespan. Actual lifespan varies based on riding style, road conditions, maintenance, and motorcycle type. Regular inspection and proper care will help maximize its life.

Is professional installation required?

Yes, for safety and optimal performance, it is crucial that the MICHELIN Road 6 tyre is installed and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre professional.

How do I know if this tyre is compatible with my motorcycle?

You need to match the tyre's specifications (size `120/70 ZR18 TL 59W`, load index, speed rating) with your motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations, usually found in your owner's manual or on the motorcycle itself.

What do 'TL' and '59W' mean in the tyre designation?

`TL` stands for Tubeless, meaning the tyre does not require an inner tube. `59` is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tyre can support (243 kg for 59). `W` is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tyre can safely maintain (270 km/h or 168 mph for W).

How should I store spare tyres or my motorcycle with these tyres?

Store tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure. If storing the motorcycle for an extended period, consider using stands to lift the tyres off the ground and maintain recommended pressure.

Troubleshooting

Motorcycle feels unstable or handles poorly

Check tyre pressure. Ensure tyres are properly balanced and aligned by a professional. Inspect for uneven wear or damage. Consult a qualified mechanic if issues persist.

Reduced grip, especially in wet conditions

Verify tyre pressure. Check tread depth; if worn beyond safety limits, replace the tyre. Avoid riding on oil or loose debris on the road. Ensure proper tyre break-in after installation.

Puncture or slow leak

Immediately and safely pull over. Do not ride on a flat tyre. Have the tyre inspected by a professional; while some small punctures can be repaired, replacement is often recommended for motorcycle tyres for safety.
