Comment:
I’ve ridden on many tyres but I thought I’d spend a bit more and get the Michelin road 5, I first went out when it was pouring with rain and I was astounded! The level of grip was unbelievable, the lean angle you can get was incredible, just like riding in the dry, I’m always hard on the brakes (comes from track racing) and believe me you can get the back wheel off the floor in the wet, don’t just whack them on the let the suspension compress first. Anyway enough rattling on, Amazing road tyres 👍
