The Michelin Power Performance Slick R is a competition-focused motorcycle tire designed for riders seeking consistent performance on closed-course applications. This tire uses a slick tread profile to maximize the available contact area on dry pavement, supporting predictable handling and controlled feedback during track riding. The soft compound is intended for use where grip and warm-up performance are key priorities.
The 200/55R17 (78V) fitment is designed for compatible motorcycles requiring this tire size and specification. Its racing-oriented construction helps provide responsive steering and stable behavior during acceleration, braking, and cornering. As a slick tire, it is intended for suitable track environments rather than everyday street use, and riders should confirm vehicle compatibility, event regulations, operating conditions, and required tire preparation before installation.
This Michelin tire is identified by manufacturer part number 917 and vendor part number 917. The Power Performance Slick R is supplied in a soft compound with a tubeless construction designation, making it a purpose-built option for riders and race teams selecting tires for controlled performance use. Proper mounting, balancing, inflation, heat-cycle management, and inspection should be completed by a qualified tire professional. Always follow Michelin recommendations and the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment guidance for safe and effective operation.
