The Michelin Road 6 benefits from 100% silica technology in its compound and a brand new tread pattern. These innovations collectively provide 15% more wet grip compared to its predecessor, the Road 5.

Thanks to a new high-tech compound, the Michelin Road 6 offers a 10% increase in longevity compared to the Michelin Road 5, meaning more miles between replacements.

This specific tyre (Rear 150/60 ZR17 66W TL) is designed for certain motorcycle types. Always verify that the size, load index, and speed rating match your motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations found in your owner's manual or on the bike's tyre placard.

Yes, new tyres require a break-in period, typically around 100 miles. During this time, avoid aggressive acceleration, braking, and lean angles to allow the mould-release agents to wear off and the tyre to seat properly.

You should check your tyre pressure at least once a week, and always before a long ride, when the tyres are cold. Correct tyre pressure is critical for safety, handling, and tyre lifespan.

For safety and optimal performance, it is strongly recommended that motorcycle tyres be installed, mounted, and balanced by a qualified professional mechanic with the proper equipment.

This often indicates improper balancing or mounting. Return to a qualified mechanic to re-check balancing, alignment, and proper bead seating. Also, ensure the break-in period has been observed.

Check tyre pressure regularly; under or over-inflation is a common cause of uneven wear. Also, inspect motorcycle suspension components for wear or damage, and consider having wheel alignment checked by a professional.

Verify tyre pressure is correct. Ensure tread depth is adequate and not worn down to the wear indicators. If the tyre is old, the rubber may have hardened; consider replacement even if tread depth seems acceptable. Avoid aggressive riding during the break-in period.

Inspect the tyre for small punctures (nails, screws). Check the valve stem for damage or looseness. If unable to find an obvious cause, have a professional inspect the tyre and rim for leaks, including the bead seal.
