I was always happy with Michelin Pilot Road 4 on my bike, but after switching to a set of Road 5 I was very pleasantly surprised: the bike felt so much more neutral, more stable in a straight line as well as leaned over in the corners.
Road 4 GTs better than Road 5.
Love that you're on your own now. Loved all your old videos. You're an awesome rider with a great perspective
You’ve grown on me Adam. I love your ability to deliver the information in an understandable manner. 👍👍
I've been riding and driving on Michelin tires since 1973. Performance has always been great and lifespan excellent.
i dont want to say anything bad about the Michelins, but i got the first tyres on my r1, the pipo 2ct, and i dont felt confident on this tyre. now i got the road attack 3 and this is a whole new Level. maybe the tyre was kinda "old" or something but the whole time felt ist wrong to go low with it.
i will test the road 5 after the RA3... but im a Little scared and hope its the same Feeling and grip like the RA3
manhunni, I certainty can understand being a little scared with not being confident in the way a new tire is capable of performing. The best way I have learned to test capability is to slowly push more and more until you sense it's now at it's limit as opposed to suddenly finding out a tires limits the hard way...by crashing! Stay safe on your R1!
i tested a lot of tyres. first on my r6 now on the r1 but the stock tyres are the first tyres i tested from Michelin. but i dont know every time i tried to get lower than the regular turns, i felt slippery kinda wierd.. dont know if the tyre wasnt like it should be or its the Michelin way im not confident with.
but i like the new design from the road 5. and the Slick part. so ill have to make new experience about Michelin tyres and give them a try
Nice review. I have my 2nd set of Michelin Pilot road 2's still on my 1999 Honda CBR600F4 and I'm thinking of getting these tires. I do a lot of long rides and I like the fact these tires last a long time. I can't even remember when I put that 2nd set of road 2's on my bike.
I bought a pair for my GSX 1250 FA and straight off I noticed the difference from my Pirellis, so much more confidence in the twisties and you can certainly feel the stiffer sidewall. Prior to this hitting a bump with the back wheel while cornering imparted a "dutch roll" type effect on the bike.. that's now gone and the bike tracks true. I can say that these tyres are a major step up from the Diablo's I was running, and prior to that the Angel GT's. As for me I ride about 25000 klm's a year and it's 80% twisties and the other 20% is getting to the twisties.
Hi Gary - that's good to know. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Glad you like the Road 5's. Cool to hear that you're riding that ol' Bandit too! Adam
Pirelli Angel GTs far better then Mitchellins Road 5 on heavier bikes.
The pilot 5 is a very sporty tyre, the contact patch on the lean is massive and the edge has a wide slick band. They will lean over a lot further than I have the courage to do
Kinda neat how the graphic on the right leg of your riding partners leathers replicates the switchblock buttons on the lhs of your KTM at 9:37 or thereabouts. cheers, Terry Colley, from Australia
Haha - nice catch - I didn't notice that until you said something! Love it.
I did a video about the PR4 and got slated by it when I said it squirmed in hot dry weather. The PR4s were a brilliant tyre in the wet and cold winter time, much better than my current Metzeler Roadtec 01's. I'll try out the new PR5's and hope they live up to tge wet performance of its predecessor.
I just want to see some thrashing action so you can comment about performance at the limit. I think Michelin took the Road 5 in a direction that I think most people wanted. The Road 3/4's were lacking in grip. Wasn't really considering them for the Versys I just picked up....but maybe now.
I'm watching this, and was about to request more wheelies right at @17:03 so, thanks, Adam! :D And, I loved the PR4's, and am keeping an eye on the Road 5 GT for my ZX-14R next winter.
Land Shark 503 i just ordered a set last week for my 990 Duke. Let ya know how they handle our Oregon twisties!
URLs don't have backslashes in them, they have slashes.
/ is a slash and \ is a backslash. You'll never see the latter in a URL, although it's frequently used when referring to the location of a file on a hard drive or similar.
Hi Daniel - thanks for the 'heads up' on that. I feel like an idiot but I appreciate you filling me in. Will make note of that going forward.
Not important, just a pet peeve (and something I see all over the place, it isn't just you).
Cool video. Maybe you'll get to really push them on the track. Chaparral Motorsports is an awesome company to deal with. Glad to see they're sponsoring you. I've gotten some tires through them in the past.
Not sure what other angles you can shoot from, but the voice over while you test them is cool. That way if something happens we can watch it happen while you explain it.
Yeah, we only got six laps on track. Was good to feel 'em out. They are better for sure but still a bit softer in typical Michelin spirit. I like 'em though.
still love the old and great Road2 but this will be my next tyre!
Nice! Thanks for watching.
I think Mich is probably right that these will be a good "road" tire for many people, but the "Pilot Road" name has been synonymous with sport touring for a long time now. I expect silica and tread to near the edges on sport touring tires.
Last year, I had to haul ass over Cherohala as Irma was passing over. Freezing cold, winds whipping around at 60 mph or so, leaves and limbs blown all over the road, and pouring rain. My Road Smart IIIs never missed a beat. My annual trek for fried trout will not be interrupted by a petty little level 4 hurricane!
OTOH, I don't have a super high hp bike nor do I ride race track speeds. For people that do, this one probably makes a lot more sense.
saddlebag so where is this fried trout? How delicious is it? I'm getting ready to go back to the Dragon and I could go for some great fish.

It's very good, but it's as much about tradition. And the people there are great. The poor guy had to come mop up around my table last time, because my gear drenched his floor.
Got it marked for my next trip. I will have to check it out. Food looks delicious in the pictures.
Enjoy!
In the dry, I've find the Road Smart's to have considerably more grip than the Pilot Road series....altough the Michelins do last a lot longer. It's always a compromise!
Maybe some comparisons Adam, great job!
Thanks man. I don't think I will be able to conduct any comparisons anytime soon. Sorry man.
@@AdamWaheed no worries 👍
Hey Man how are you? That video was awesome 🤙🏾I just bought a set of those Michelin’s 5s For my 07Fjr very nice tire in rain 🌧 I rode through 3 storms on them already and absolutely perform the way a skilled rider wants I’m 46years old been riden bikes since I was 19years old and these are by far the best bike tires out right now for sport and touring riders I’m 💯 percent satisfied with them on rainy days here in the Midwest and sunny days ! I would love to break those tires in for The Michelin corporation and give my feedback thanks Michelin again for the pilot 2salso on my 03 R1🤙🏾🤙🏾!!
Very nice. I'm good man - just cruising. Thanks for the nice update.
+1 on Rev'it gear!
I need michelin road 5 for r12 vespa/scooter
Tnx.. Finally honest review.. 👍
Hell yeah.
Hi Adam. Awesome review as always! These or RoadSmart 3’s? For the fair weather aggressive street rider who wants mileage aka me ;) thanks man!
I know of 4 people who have the Road 5's now, and all are aggressive riders through the twisties on litre plus bikes and they all rave about them.
Great question - I haven't ridden on the RSIII's yet so I can't give you a definitive answer. But understanding how Dunlop and Michelin currently engineer its tires, I'd presume that the Dunlop's will likely be more rigid-feeling than the Michelin's. Michelin's will also likely be superior in full rain conditions.
@@AdamWaheed they are rigid, my buddy has them on his wing and loves the Dunlop. Course it weighs fuckin 900 lbs. 😆
You did not say anything about how the tyre felt basically. Love most of your work though
Oh c'mon. I had to. I would listen to that thing again.
Great review, just fitted a set of these and yeah i agree more sportier heaps of grip, turn in is good, like them so far, just come off road tec 01, not so good, noisy front tyre really bad the front made in China, not impressed at all, will never buy metzler again because of that, anyway thanks for a great review. Regards stewart from oz
I went with a set of Michelin Commander II and waiting for delivery. The front was or is a Dunlap and the rear a Shinko 777 which are worn out. These were put on by the previous owner. Here is a neat calculator I found on the internet that might help someone out on comparing tire sizes.
www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?
Not for GT bikes. Too soft. Wore out front while rear 50% worn at 4k kms. Pirellis Angel GTs better grip & longer life.
Congrats on buying the wrong tire. The Road 5's were designed for smaller sport bikes like the Street Triple, MT-07/09 etc. The Road 5 GT's were designed for the bigger touring bikes. Classic case of user error.
Interesting....wonder how many crazy people who run their tires till the threads are going to get caught out by the harder compound on the edges lol
!!
Where's the part 2?
What’s up Mr. Wright - I am working on Part II now - will publish later tomorrow!
Thanks for your interest!
Cool man. I seen the new video last week and it wasn't it. I was like, oh no I hope he didn't lose the footage or something. Lol. Can't wait to see it.
Sweet man - I am publishing it right now - again, didn't turn out as good as I'd like it to have. I only burned three laps and was crunched on time due to the host's schedule. Let me know what you think!
Rev'it is nice, but too expensive and Dainese stuff still has more sex appeal than almost everything else. I really like Scorpion!
i picked up some Dainese gloves last week and I normally wear Aplinestars, but fuck me depending on what model Aplinestar glove it was depended on what size fitted, from extra large to medium and at no time did my hands leave my wrist.. but the Dianese gloves fitted perfectly, have a longer gauntlet that now fits over my jacket sleeve and a lot more feel.
Gary Cheavin yeah it just depends. All the brands and even models within the same brand fit a little differently.
I think they're missing a potential market by not making these in small bike sizes....
Yeah you make a valid point - will ask Michelin what's up with that...
Adam Waheed Hey Adam, can I ask your opinion? I need to make a choice relatively soon for some sporty sport-touring tires for the Versys 650. I'm a big fan of the Bridgestone T30 and T30 Evo from when I've ridden on them. Highly grippy with excellent feedback and last a long time. Always thought the Michelin Road 3/4's were lacking in grip, which I need since I ride aggressively. How do the road 5's compare? Also have you tried the new T31?Any thoughts? Cost, longevity, and performance is of consideration. Bridgestone has some sweet rebates....I can get a set of T31's for $210 shipped or a set of S21's for $165, which is hard to argue with and I may just pick one of those up. What's your opinion?
10 is more than 5 enjoy.
No thanks, I'll stick to my Road Tech 01's
HAHAHAHA....typical KTM....broken
