Got my copy of the BMW OK magazine today with the insert on the new Michelin Road 6 tire, available after 1-Jan-2022.
Looking at the tread pattern it certainly looks like a great performer in the wet and it claims to have the same grip in the dry and also have 10% better longevity, which does not match up to the claim Dunlop makes of over 40% compared with the same standard (Road 5). Also, the use of the 2CT+ technology on the front tire could see better resistance to cupping ...? That was my experience with the PR4s - front tire cupping.
Anyone going to give the Road 6s a try? Looks like $183 (front) and $234 (rear) for the Road 6s vs $158 (front) and $209 (rear) for the Roadsmart 4s (Revzilla prices).
