I called Revzilla and spoke to a 2 different cyclegear employees. They stated the weight/speed rating on the side of the new Michelin ROAD 6 supports heavier bikes like the ST1300, and the GT variant is not necessary. I expressed to them my concern about sidewall flex, premature wear, the weight of the bike, etc., and they stated the 'regular' ROAD 6 will support the bike and rider's weight, even 2-up.
Does anyone have any first hand knowledge regarding this? Should the decision to GT or not to GT be based on the speed/weight rating on the side of the tire? The speed/weight rating of the ROAD 6 is pretty high (59W).
Thanks for any info.
