ROAD 5 Tyre 120/70 R17 58W by Michelin

The Michelin ROAD 5 front tyre is designed for Sport Touring road use. Its design combines a radial structure, dual-compound technology, and evolving sipes to maintain effective grip on wet roads over time. It also offers good stability, suitable dry grip, and optimised handling.

Design and Materials

• The Michelin 2CT and 2CT+ dual-compound technology adapts rubber blends to combine grip on wet and dry surfaces.
• The MICHELIN XST Evo technology progressively widens the grooves with wear to preserve water evacuation over the kilometres.
• The MICHELIN ACT+ carcass process enhances the tyre's stability both in a straight line and in curves.

Installation and Fitting

• The 120/70 R17 size is suitable for front fitting when this dimension is recommended for the motorcycle.
• The Tubeless design installs without an inner tube on a rim designed for this type of tyre.
• The load index 58 and speed index W facilitate the verification of the tyre's compatibility with the motorcycle's specifications.
• Manufacturer reference 162459

Usage and Performance

• The grip on wet roads enhances traction during wet weather rides.
• After 5,000 kilometres, braking on wet roads remains comparable to that of a new MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 according to the indicated tests.
• Dry grip and stability provide handling suited for Sport Touring.
• The siped tread pattern promotes water evacuation to maintain grip on damp surfaces.
