Touring motorcycle fans, who own machines like the BMW R 1200 RT, BMW K 1600 GT, YAMAHA FJR 1300, HONDA PAN EUROPEAN 1300, KAWASAKI 1400 GTR, TRIUMPH TROPHY, demand specific tyres that deliver safety, comfort, long life, stability and sheer riding enjoyment irrespective of the conditions*, and even when a high number of kilometres have passed under their tread.
Developed in exactly the same spirit and to the same rigorous standards as the MICHELIN Road 5, the GT version packs the technological advances that are a hallmark of the other tyres that make up the Road 5 range. To address the exacting demands expressed by owners of this type of motorcycle, the MICHELIN Road 5 GT places the emphasis on performance, notably on wet roads, along with stability and efficient braking, especially in instances where riders are caught out by poor weather. Following in-house comparative tests, the new tyre came out on top in terms of grip and braking performance on wet roads**, even when as much as 50 percent worn***.
The MICHELIN Road 5 GT benefits from additive metal manufacturing technology which permits the making of highly sophisticated moulds, as well as the incorporation of MICHELIN XST Evo technology whereby the tread pattern's sipes widen to increase the tyre's sea-to-land ratio, and thus maintain its water-clearance capacity, as the tyre wears.
Maximum confidence in wet and dry conditions- mile after mile!

Stuck to the road wet or dry
I have a set of these on a 2015 BMW R1200R, it straddles the line between sport bike and big heavy touring bike at 500lbs wet. Before the GT's I had a set of standard road 5's and had zero complaints. They lasted 14k miles and had phenomenal grip wet or dry. Switching to GT's I've put about 500 miles on them so far. The big difference I can tell is the stability and nimbleness of the bike is markedly better. You can feel that the tires are stiffer because it changes direction much more easily than with standard 5's, yet at the same time bumps are actually noticeably smoother. In summation, if your bike is on the heavier side, these tires work exceptionally well. I can keep up with and often outrun my friends on sport bikes with much stickier tires. I expect these to last the same as standard 5's if not longer. Couldn't be happier with them.
