Puncture caused pre-mature replacement in France. Michelin Road 5’s removed having done 7,987 miles. Would have done around 9000 miles if the puncture was repairable. Very fond of the Road 5’s, never had any problems with grip, tire was very neutral and responded well. Wear was even front & back wearing at the same rate within only 200 miles to wear bars between the two. Best tyre I’ve ever had on a bike. Hoping Road 6’s will be even better. Tyres replaced by Dafy Moto in France. Very cheap @ £245 for the pair + £65 full fitting including removal and refitting.

Michelin Road 5’s fitted (not GT variant) Pirelli Angle GT 2’s removed with approx. 6,500 miles on them. Not my favourite tyre, squared off very quickly consequently road badly, front cupped badly and the tyre did not inspire confidence they also let go without warning. Had this happen twice, one on front end and the other on the rear, the rear however could have possibly been a diesel spill on the road
