The MICHELIN Road 6 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders seeking dependable wet-weather grip, long-lasting tread performance, and confident cornering. This rear tire uses a 190/50ZR17 size and (73W) speed rating, making it suitable for compatible sport-touring motorcycles that specify this fitment. Manufactured by MICHELIN, the tire combines advanced tread compounds and pattern technology for consistent performance across a wide range of riding conditions.
Compared with the MICHELIN Road 5 tire, the Road 6 delivers up to 15% more grip in wet conditions through 100% MICHELIN Silica Technology tread compounds and a tread pattern featuring MICHELIN Water Evergrip Technology. It also provides up to 10% longer tread life than the previous generation, helping riders enjoy extended service between tire replacements. Actual results may vary based on motorcycle, riding style, road conditions, maintenance, and other factors.
Technology: MICHELIN 2CT+ Technology uses a dual-compound construction to enhance tire rigidity at lean and improve stability during cornering, strong acceleration, and heavy braking. This technology, previously used on the rear tire, contributes to predictable handling and secure road contact. The MICHELIN Road 6 reflects more than two decades of ongoing motorcycle tire development and is built for riders who value responsive handling and dependable touring performance.
