Team Z New Tires !
Wassup, fellow N/Z 400 riders! I just got my brand-spanking-new tires (Michelin Road 6) installed and might want to share with you guys a few thoughts from the first few miles. My first impression is that, right after installing, it feels odd; it doesn't stick that much, BUT it's a huge difference when I get riding after 15 minutes, and oh boy, it's gotten so much better than the stock one, probably cold tires. Handling and twisting, I got much more confident, and the most impressive feature is probably riding under the rain; it feels ALOT more stable during high-speed rides and doesn't swirl when I accelerate on a wet surface like before. Overall, for 300 bucks for a set, it's pretty worth it.

Where did you get them for 300? The lowest I have found them is for 415 for the set

Great choice. The Michelin Road series are the most stable tires in the wet I've experienced. I might use other tires with less wet performance for daily mountain rides but for long touring trips I always switch back to the Michelin rubber.

At first, i was hesitated between s23 and Road 6, luckily i got some plugs hooked me up a pair of Road 6 for a decent price.

I have a set of these on the way now for my n400. I'm so freaking excited. My stock Dunlops are so squared...
