Michelin Pilot 5 GT tyres

[Newbs1ok]

My PIlot 4s are due for change
Been a good tyre
Approaching 8 K but profile has gone , especially on front as I tend to counter steer when I am in the zone

My man reckons the 5Gts are an improvement

Has anyone had any experience with them

TIA

Afaik Michelin recommends the normal Road 5 for the Crossrunner, not the GT.

I'm on my second set of Road 5's now and I do like them. But not better than the Pirelli Angel GT.

All in all I think you can't go wrong with any of the A-grade brands, it's mostly personal preference. I, for instance, didn't really like the Dunlop Roadsmart 3.

Agree with Voodoo, the GT is aimed at large touring bikes, I suspect you'll be happier with the normal Road 5's which are pretty good and a small step up on the 4's.

I've heard only good words about the PR5, though never tried them myself. I agree, GT (or HWM) tyres are not appropriate for the Crossie.

I'm wedded to Metzeller Roadtec 1's and have been since they came out. Similar tech to the PR5 and performance sounds similar.

Thanks folks for the advice

Fairly sure I was told the GT's have hard centre compound soft on sides which make them more suitable for long haul highway use.

Normal road 5's are also dual compound.

Thanks Haddo and Voodoo

Thanks Voodoo. Taken a chunk out of the front PR4gt not far off time to change anyway. May give the standard PR5's a shot being duel compound 'n' all then.
