I live in NE and got Michelin Alpin 4s and like them quite bit. Its not too crazy here and if we get deep snow I have other options. We have an SUV I can use and since the pandemic I can work from home which is a huge help. I haven't driven in snow in years. If you only have the R as your daily and MUST drive in snow then I agree with the above statement that pure winter tires are a better choice. For me the Alpins ride quite nicely and don't feel squirmy or get hard as a rock when the temp drops.
Owner reviews for tires
I’ve been really happy with the Pilot Sport AS4. Not difference in ride comfort or sound, and they definitely are going to last longer than the MXM4
Conti Sport Contact Force tires. The absolute best summer tire. The testers are right, it's almost telepathic. 40 mpg on long trips.
I have Bridgestone tires on my bike(Harley Fat Boy 114).
Very grippy in the corners, rear tire hooks up to the pavement for launches increadibly well.
7000miles on the tires and the middle still has a ton of tread life left.
Switched over to Continental ExtremeContact on all my other cars and noticed they feel good all the way to the bald spot. I’ve recently switched our MYLR to Continental and it feels great. Quieter, feels softer, and more confident in corners with the same PSI.
Im just now looking at replacing my OEM Dunlops at 17k. These are on a 2019 HD Road Glide.
I ended up going with the Continental ExtremeContact after reading a bunch of reviews and am very happy with them
I got mine with the pirelli summers which are great.
KO2s are great in the snow, not so great on ice.
I got the Michelin mxm4 235/45 R18 tires, and by the time of first rotation at 5k miles, the rear tires went from 10/32" to 6/32". At 10k miles, all tires were already at 4/32 thread depth!
