Michelin Road 6 pulls to the left

[Don in Lodi]

I know it's directional, but for experimental purposes... try mounting it backwards. Would remove possible bike issues completely.

Has anyome seen the date codes for the bad tires? I have a set of PR6's put back with a date code of 2122 which is May of 2022.

Hello.
I'm trying to resolve pr6 problem. I have tested my set of pr6 on vstrom650 and 1200gs. Every time pulls to the left. When I have changed front tire to another one (not pr6) everything was ok. I'm really think that there is a problem with front tire. I have reported it to Michelin and waiting for the answer. My dot is 2222. Maybe we should create some aditional resource for contact via messenger or fb. Becouse it is a problem which I have found on few motorcycles forums.

I mounted up a set or road 6's and am having a hard left pull, bike dives if you let go of the bars. Loosened both axles and retorqued in sequence to spec, pull is still there.
production dates of 3122 front, 3222 rear. Purchased like two weeks ago from rmatv.

Any solution ever come out of this?

Update, Ordered a new front roadsmart3, got it spooned on and the hard left pull went away. Let go of the bars and goes straight on down the road. Got a warranty email in with dealer, waiting to see whats gonna happen.

Final update.
RMATV is doing a warranty return on the front. Didn't say anything about the rear nor did I ask. Doesn't seem to be a ton of choices out there with availability.
I'm just gonna run the dunlop roadsmart3 front with the road6 rear. Did a 100 mile ride saturday and they seemed to play nice together so far.

I had a pair of Roadsmart 3s, and still have the front mounted. Have a Road 5 on the rear. The Roadsmarts got slippery in the cold. Road composition might have something to do with the traction, don't know. Wasn't a big fan of them. The only reason I still have the front, is that there was a ton of tread left and by the time we get cold it will be worn out. My next set will be Conti Trail Attacks.
