[QUOTE="art miller, post: 1397099, member: 19411"] I'm in a back in forth with a riding friend over the use of the Road 5 vs Road 5 GT. I have been using PR 4's (non GT) for the past two sets. I have been getting 12K miles consistently and have had no issues. I ride one up only and am a moderately aggressive rider. I recently purchased a set of Road 5 non GT's and my friend claims this tire is not made for the FJR. He refers to the Michelin web site that states the GT is required for the FJR. I have read various reviews and it seems the Road 5 has redesigned tread to provide better wet road traction and the rubber compound is modified to improve traction. There is no mention the skeletal structure has changed. I am not a heavy person (150lbs) and I only ride solo. Is there any reason to feel I need to use GT tires? [/QUOTE]
