The MICHELIN Road 6 is a high-performance rear motorcycle tire designed for riders who want confident handling, dependable wet-weather traction, and long-lasting touring performance. This rear tire uses the 150/70ZR17 size with a (69W) speed and load rating, making it suitable for a wide range of sport-touring motorcycles that require this fitment. The tire is engineered to deliver balanced performance across everyday commuting, extended touring, and spirited cornering.
The MICHELIN Road 6 provides up to 15% more grip in wet conditions than the MICHELIN Road 5 tire. Its 100% MICHELIN Silica Technology tread compounds work with a new tread pattern featuring MICHELIN Water Evergrip Technology to help maintain traction on wet pavement. These technologies are designed to support confident braking, acceleration, and cornering when road conditions are less than ideal. Actual performance may vary depending on motorcycle setup, riding style, road conditions, and other factors.
MICHELIN 2CT+ Technology, previously standard on the rear tire, is also incorporated into the Road 6 range to help improve rigidity at lean and enhance stability while cornering, particularly during strong acceleration or heavy braking. The MICHELIN Road 6 delivers up to 10% longer tread life compared with the previous generation, helping riders spend more time on the road between tire replacements. This product is manufactured by MICHELIN and is identified by manufacturer part number 28559 and vendor part number 28559. Testing referenced by MICHELIN was conducted under specific controlled conditions, so actual results may vary.
