I put on black and round ones. All the cafe talk on tyres don't mean shit if you can't ride to save your life lol. I'm on maxxis at the mo. No problems. Love angels myself. But they don't make me ride any better than any other tyre. |

Had road5 trails on my 1250gsa last time, found they were fairly good with decent mileage, now on road 6, better grip, they are purely road based riding and looks like decent mileage so far. Can’t believe how much tyres cost tho. |

My stock tyres and my previous GT have all faired well I’m not the slowest of riders I can get a fair bit of wear right on the edges so no problems getting a good few thou out them currently sitting on 4.2k miles of wear in the three months I’ve owned the new bike but a few motorway miles haven’t helped the wear though |

Road 5’s are awesome road tyre! Have put on last 2 bikes (some might dispute the term bike) Honda nc750 (came with Bridgestone battleax and made a difference as night and day) and versys 650 which came with Dunlop’s and were hopelesss in the wet! Being in Northern Ireland a lot of riding in damp/wet conditions (and not in the good sense!!) road 5 excellent stick and with dual compound great wear too! |

"So the angel GT were a three week lead time so ordered the Michelin road 5s instead
What’s everyone’s views on the new rubbers "
I was very sceptical about Michelin road 5 but all the advanced observers were using them. After a lot of research I went for them. Can honestly say, after swearing by Bridgestone for many many years the road 5 are the best tyres I've ever put on my bikes. I trust them in dry or wet 100%. May I add I don't hang about either  |

Great tyre, they can handle some track use too, for the more road rider "novice" group of course
Tempted to stick some 6's on my KTM 990 SM but soooo expensive and that bike eats rear tyres
Anyhow less of the boring tyre talk lol,
hard to find a poor modern tyre to be honest |

I put road 5s on my XR and initially didnt like the feel when going over from the hard compound to the softer edges...once over great but a couple of times i felt a wee change in the grip...maybe better after a few miles tho |

Two black rubber doughnuts will do. Tyre talk I've put some seriously expensive tryes on the race bikes and with poor suspension setup and incorrect pressures have no feed back at all. This post is a can of worms I wish you all good luck and be confident in what you choose. Rubber side down remember.  |
