In my case they didn't answer.
I used to have a Crosstourer, drop onto the site from time to time and this popped up.

Does the Crosstourer use a 19" front ??
I tried everything. Forgot to mention that shop refitted those tyres and it's all the same. Previous tyres, Anakee's, kept my bike perfectly stable. The bike (2021) is now with 9800 miles only, never ridden offroad. I don't know what to say. On other bike's forums (non BMW) I found hudreds of posts about the problem with Road 6 and they all say bike pulls to the left if you let go handlebars. One person at US GS forum has both symptoms with Road 6, bike one year older then mine, pulls left and rear swerving at higher speeds. He also say his bike was perfectly stable with old tyres.
Talked today with old guy (my age) who said he had Pirelly Scorpion Trail, 16 sets on his GS's (he always rode GS) and he can´t fault them. He said he used one set of Road 4 and liked them in the rain.
Well, in my region (south of Portugal) we have 300 sunny days a year and it almost never rains. I don't take my bike out if it rains outside. My experience with the rain is only from times I got cought by rain and then I take it very easy.
I don't know, I'm completely lost as I use Michelin Road series since 2012 and simply don't know anything about other tyres anymore.
You didn't bother to read through all the thread, did you?It sounds like old fashioned wobble and weave that you are experiencing. I gather it's pretty rare these days and can be triggered by bike loading etc. Honda Paneuropeans of about 15 years ago famously suffered from it at speed.

Hi
Michelin have answered. They need my motorcycle technical data and information about set of my tyres. Ok. We are waiting for their next step.
I've not read the full thread, but this sounds to me like the type was facing in the worn direction and lost stability at speed?They have probably corrected the manufacturing error at this point. However, I'm not their client anymore, after the experience I've had with Road 6. Sadly, PR5 was great tyre.
Great tyres. Though I don't have a GS, yet, but will fit them when I buy one.
Been a Michelin man for years and will be hard for me to use another brand.
As you can see in my previous posts in this thread, as soon as I installed back the Anakee tyre at the front, all the problems disappeared.Did you get to the bottom of the problem?
