The Michelin Anakee III rear motorcycle tire is designed for adventure touring riders who want dependable road performance, confident handling, and a distinctive tread appearance. Sized 170/60R17 with a 72V rating, this rear tire supports a balanced combination of stability, comfort, and control for both everyday riding and extended touring applications. Its 90/10 adventure touring design is optimized primarily for paved roads while maintaining the versatility expected from an adventure motorcycle tire.
Michelin uses a more rigid tire carcass and a profile inspired by its sport touring radial tires to promote precise handling and enhanced stability. This construction is well suited for solo riding or two-up travel, helping the motorcycle remain composed during cornering, braking, acceleration, and highway cruising. The tread pattern features beveled edges and carefully designed indentations that provide the Anakee III with a unique visual character while supporting consistent road contact and predictable performance in a range of touring conditions.
The Michelin Anakee III was selected as original equipment for BMW adventure motorcycles, including the BMW R 1200 GS, R 1200 GS Adventure, F 700 GS, and F 800 GS. It is an appropriate replacement choice for riders seeking the original equipment design philosophy and Michelin’s adventure touring engineering. This product is manufactured by Michelin, and its manufacturer part number and vendor part number are both 15006. Verify the motorcycle’s fitment, approved tire size, load rating, and speed rating before installation, and always follow the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommendations for tire selection and inflation.
