What we think:
The Michelin Power 6 is the latest evolution of Michelin’s sport tire lineup, replacing the Power 5 with improvements across the board — especially in dry grip, agility, and longevity — while keeping its excellent wet weather performance.
🏍️ Why Consider the Michelin Power 6 Rear?
✅ Key Improvements Over Power 5:
-
Even More Dry Grip: New rubber compounds provide sportier traction and better corner exit performance.
-
Enhanced Agility: Revised profile for quicker turn-in and more linear mid-corner behavior — ideal for flickable handling.
-
Longer Tread Life: Optimized compound wear rates allow better mileage than the Power 5, while still sport-focused.
-
Great Wet Confidence: Michelin continues to lead with wet grip; Power 6 maintains silica-based compounds and groove design for rain traction.
-
Track-Day Capable: While still primarily a street tire, it can now handle occasional aggressive track sessionsmore confidently than the Power 5.
