Unless I am mistaken and I hope I am, Michelin no longer offers Road 5's in stock sizes for our bikes. Only the pricier Road 6. The 6 is suppoded to be a little better in the rain. If this is the case I guess I'll be changing my preference to another brand. I have noticed that tire prices have jumped substantially in the last few months. Who else offers the dual compound tire?
Dammit!

How many miles do you get out of a rear on those?

I have ordered the Metzerler Sportec RR M9 from Revzilla for mine. They are listed as dual compound with silica which is supposedly why the Michelin tires grip and last as well as they do. I am not saying they will be as good but they are available and $90 less. Almost anything will be better than my 11,000 mile stock Dunlops.😄

I check price $189 where did you find them for $90.

Yep, those Metzeler Sportec M9RR were great for me. Dual compound for long life and silica for rain grip.

They were $360 total after tax for both front and rear- free shipping. The $90 was the difference between them and the Michelin Road 5 if the Michelin was available. Sorry if I confused anyone about that.

Dang, you are getting after it.

Dang, you are getting after it.

Umm I guess...maybe. I do a lot of brisk on/off throttle in the hills.

I knew you were being nice for the flatlander.

5k miles street and track. The shoulders gave up first. The center was still beefy.
