The Michelin Road 5 is a premium front motorcycle tire designed for confident sport touring performance in changing weather conditions. This Michelin tire uses patented Water Sipe Technology to help maintain wet-weather grip, while the advanced tread design supports consistent handling throughout the tire’s service life. The 120/60ZR17 (55W) fitment is designed for motorcycles requiring a high-performance front tire with a speed rating of up to 168 mph. Manufacturer part number: 99303. Vendor part number: 99303.
The Road 5 combines Michelin’s latest 2CT and 2CT+ tread compounds with patented ACT+ casing technology. This construction is engineered to improve dry grip, cornering stability, and overall steering response, helping provide a balanced ride for sport touring and everyday road use. The casing and compound combination is designed to deliver reliable traction across a wide range of riding conditions while maintaining a controlled, predictable feel during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Michelin XST Evo sipes help the Road 5 retain wet braking performance as the tire wears. Michelin testing found that worn Road 5 tires, after approximately 3,500 miles, stopped as short as new Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires under the stated test conditions. Independent and internal testing compared the Road 5 with selected sport touring tires in matching front and rear applications; actual results may vary based on motorcycle, road surface, weather, riding style, and tire maintenance. The Michelin Road 5 front tire offers a practical combination of wet-weather confidence, dry-road control, and long-term performance for riders seeking dependable sport touring capability.
