Something out of alignment, or the carcass has failed
no tyre should rub unless its the wrong size?
Is your tyre rubbing ? Or is this something you have read about somewhere else?

You’d be happier on the 1600 forum and Facebook.
thats what it says on the 1600 site ?
Then you know the answer.
I believe they're not recommended now by Michelin, although they're apparently saying if you have them fitted, there's no problem! I read that they will entertain warranty claims if you go back to your tyre supplier.
i thank you.

Strange, I have asked around and no one in the UK either has a problem or knows they have a problem. Definitely seen the photos of swingarms being rubbed by the Road 5 on US sites, apparently they are a very wide tyre for a 190 - over 200mm.
Not sure why, but it seemed to be on 2017 models onward having the problem - interesting that Michelin don't actually recommend a tyre for the K16 2017 onward anymore on their UK site when last time I checked they had both the PR4 and R5 in GT sizes as fitment?

been told they will replace it for the 4 ?
