industry leading touring tyres

 

When it comes to long-distance rides, commuter reliability, or year-round road comfort, touring motorcycle tyres are the go-to choice for riders who want durability, wet-weather grip, and consistent performance. Whether you're crossing Australia’s winding hinterlands or daily commuting through city streets, the right set of touring tyres can transform your ride.

In this guide, we compare four of the most trusted options on the market today:

  • Pirelli Angel GT II
  • Michelin Road 6
  • Bridgestone Battlax T32
  • Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE
     

We’ll cover key features like grip levels, wet performance, mileage expectations, and who each tyre suits best.

Pirelli Angel GT II

 

Designed for sport-touring riders, the Angel GT II takes cues from Pirelli’s high-performance background while offering excellent wet traction and superior mileage. The tread design channels water effectively, giving confidence in wet conditions. Cornering performance is responsive and stable even when carrying pillions or luggage.

  • Strengths: Sharp handling, ABS-optimised design, great wet performance
     
  • Best For: Riders who want a balance of sportiness and long-distance capability

Michelin Road 6

 

A benchmark in wet-weather performance, the Michelin Road 6 excels in grip and longevity. Featuring dual-compound technology (2CT and 2CT+), it delivers firm grip under lean and progressive wear patterns. Michelin’s RainTech siping boosts confidence during rainy commutes and unpredictable weather.

  • Strengths: Leading wet grip, superb wear resistance, comfort
     
  • Best For: All-weather riders, commuters, and tourers who prioritise safety
     

Bridgestone Battlax T32

 

With improved wet grip over the T31, the T32 offers a reliable and balanced experience for all-day riding. Its new Pulse Groove pattern enhances water dispersion, and silica-rich compounds ensure consistent feel in various conditions. A great fit for mid-weight to heavy touring bikes.

  • Strengths: All-round comfort, confident wet handling, predictable wear
     
  • Best For: Long-distance riders who want stability without sacrificing comfort

Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE

 

The Roadtec 01 SE brings Metzeler’s renowned road feel with added performance for more aggressive riders. It provides great lean angle grip while maintaining comfort for touring applications. The silica-rich compound and advanced tread layout handle a variety of road conditions with ease.

  • Strengths: Excellent dry grip, sporty feel, suitable for touring bikes
     
  • Best For: Riders who value performance but still do long distances
