The Michelin Pilot Street Radial rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable stability, responsive handling, and confident wet-road performance. This 140/70R17 66H tire uses Michelin Radial X-Technology to help deliver a smooth, controlled ride while maintaining composure at highway speeds. Its radial construction features supple sidewalls that absorb imperfections in the road surface, supporting improved comfort and stability during everyday commuting and spirited riding.
The Pilot Street Radial uses a 100% silica rubber compound combined with deep, effective tread grooves to enhance grip on wet surfaces. The tread design helps channel water away from the contact area, giving riders added confidence in changing weather conditions. An even contact patch pressure during use is engineered to promote more uniform tread wear, helping the tire maintain consistent performance throughout its useful life.
Compared with a bias motorcycle tire, the radial construction provides a shorter, wider contact patch that contributes to added grip when cornering at extreme lean angles. The H speed rating is suitable for speeds up to 130 mph when properly installed and used according to the motorcycle and tire manufacturer’s recommendations. This rear tire was original equipment on select BMW motorcycles, including the 2019 BMW G 310R, and is also associated with BMW Motorrad and Honda CB300 applications. Manufacturer part number: 29590. Vendor part number: 29590.
