Pilot Road 5/6 GT's (interesting post from the bmwlt.com forum)

[Scott9999]

Don't intend to start "yet another tire thread!! 🙄", but I found this (old) post (2020) interesting.

 

The Pilot Road 4 GT remains our recommended fitment for your bike, and the standard Road 5 tyres are not recommended. We are developing a Road 5 GT tyre, but it will not be available in 2018.

 

Probably old news for most, but again, I found the Michelin quote interesting, since the original Pilot Roads were my favorite on my old 2005 RT hexhead.

 

There are more interesting posts, including a video, but I won't repost the entire thing here.  The last (most recent post) indicates that Michelin is still recommending the GT's (Road 6 GT) for the heavier RT's.
