This tyre came stock in my cb 650r from 2021. I just replaced this tyres with a new set of michelin road6, and what i have to say is stay i couldnt believe the difference.
I never felt confident with them, i tough i was the problem but after installing the new rubber. I wasn't wrong it was definitely the tyres.
They only work if u let them heat up to temperature, if its less than 24ºC the tyre is always stone cold. Wet grip is none, i once reverse the bike in a dump/slime surface and the tyre instantly slip i almost fell just turning around giving 0 gas at 1 km/h, its the same as driving on icy roads.
They rubber is extremely hard, i had to reduce the tyre pressure to help my spine cope and get a bit more traction. I never had problems with breaking.
Although traction even with hot weather is not great, average at best. Be careful with front tyre at least mine wore faster than the back tyre and also the front tyre had less grip on slow corners (without load) than average/fast corners.
I wanted to replaced them sooner, also for the low amount of grip and hard rubber i dont know how the rubber goes by so fast. Front tyre with 7500 Kms was completely gone, back tyre had 2.5mm left.
