Done many miles with these now, in rain, in mixed damp roads and dry warm days and they are excellent. Give fantastic confidence in the wet all the grip you need in the dry. I would even trackday with these (intermediate). Perfect road tyre and are wearing excellent

Best overall motorcycle tire there is.

Reviewed by Eric - April 24, 2023 for a purchase of March 1, 2023

The road 5 is an amazing motorcycle tire that gives the rider a good feedback. I own a 2018 CBR1000RR and this is the second set of Michelin that I have put on my bike. By the way I have put over 16,800 miles on my CBR1000RR and these tires have done a better job than the Pirelli Angel.

Poor design and testing

Reviewed by JohnDo - March 25, 2023 for a purchase of August 20, 2022

Great tyre in the dry and equally seems good for traction and grip in wet, but such a poor design, you and your bike get absolutely covered in muck and road spray. The 3D progressive stripes suck up whatever is on the road and lob it back at you. I’ve never been so wet and mucky from winter riding.
