The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Best Motorcycle Tyres for 2024
180/55 R17 • 2024
1st/6
Road: The Road 6 GT impresses with its crystal-clear feedback for grip. It steers very nimbly and remains neutral throughout the lean angle range. It remains transparent even at deeper lean angles. The good self-damping provides a good contact feeling with the road. Even at cooler temperatures, it provides the best feedback in direct comparison.
Wet: The Road 6 GT also feels very comfortable in wet conditions. Good grip, feedback, and agility allow the Michelin to lap the wet track very quickly. The excellent traction during acceleration gives it a slight advantage.
Wear: The lowest wear on the front tyre and low wear on the rear tyre result in the lowest overall wear for the Michelin. Its performance is not significantly compromised by the diminishing tread depth - very good.
Conclusion: The lowest wear, the fastest lap time in the wet, and excellent feedback on dry roads - the Road 6 GT does not show any weakness in any discipline. The most successful point collector deserves the test victory.

Overall: Very Good..

Latest Michelin Road 6 GT Reviews

Given 80% while driving a Yamaha Tracer 9 (180/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 11,000 average miles
My motorcycle is a Tracer 9. In the summer, after riding for at least 20-30 km, it warms up and has good grip on dry ground. In the winter, it slips until it warms up on dry ground (what I wrote so far is valid for aggressive use). If you don't ride it hard in the rain, it has good grip in both summer and winter. Overall, I'm satisfied. I can say that its rain performance is better than the Metzeller Road Tec 01. That's my opinion.

Given 80% while driving a Yamaha Tracer 700 (180/55 R17) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles
I'm not sure if this tyre is great or not. sometimes it totally crashes my self confidence on curvy roads but sometimes it feels glued to the road.
