I have been using Michelin roads since road 2. Simply the best wet weather and all round grip everywhere tire.
The only, not really a problem, was they changed the shape/smile of the front trye on road 4's and later
I was riding a Bell Ulysses and found my new 4 just sat "higher" and the chicken strip on the front went from almost nothing to half an inch and the Buell just did not turn into a corner like it should do so swapped the 120/70 for a 120/60 and the handling came back and the chicken strip disappeared.
Bought the 120/60 version with the road 5 & 6 for the same reason
My bikes were 1988 & 1989 Vfr750 and 2003 NT650v Deauville.
My riding style is fast into corners so front end grip/control is very important for me.
My old saying is "Straight lines are for wimps that can't handle corners" 😎
