The MICHELIN Road 6 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders seeking confident wet-weather grip, dependable handling, and extended tread life. This rear tire features a 170/60ZR17 size and (72W) load and speed rating, making it suitable for compatible sport-touring motorcycles that require this fitment. The model combines MICHELIN engineering with proven road-touring performance for daily riding, long-distance travel, and changing weather conditions.
MICHELIN Road 6 technology provides up to 15% more grip than the MICHELIN Road 5 tire in wet conditions, based on internal lap testing. Its 100% MICHELIN Silica Technology tread compounds work with the Water Evergrip Technology tread pattern to help maintain traction on wet pavement. Results may vary based on motorcycle, road conditions, riding style, and tire maintenance.
The MICHELIN Road 6 also delivers up to 10% longer tread life than the previous-generation MICHELIN Road 5 tire, based on external wear testing. MICHELIN 2CT+ Technology is used in the rear tire to support cornering stability and handling under strong acceleration or heavy braking. The combination of advanced compounds, tread design, and two decades of MICHELIN motorcycle tire development makes this tire a practical choice for riders who want balanced touring performance without sacrificing responsiveness.
