The Michelin Road Classic front motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable wet-weather grip, confident handling, and classic motorcycle compatibility. This front tire uses a 110/70B17 size with a 54H speed and load rating, making it a suitable fit for select modern classic and standard motorcycles. Michelin combines its proven bias-ply construction with a traditional tread appearance to deliver balanced performance for everyday riding, commuting, and weekend touring.
Michelin Silica Rain Technology™ uses a specialized compound designed to improve traction on wet roads. Combined with the tire’s 26% void ratio, the Road Classic delivers up to 50% more wet grip than the previous-generation Michelin Pilot Activ tire in Michelin’s in-house comparison. Actual results may vary based on motorcycle setup, road conditions, weather, riding style, and tire maintenance. The tread design supports water evacuation while maintaining consistent road contact through changing conditions.
The bias-ply casing is reinforced by two crown plies to help provide stable handling and controlled cornering. According to Michelin’s in-house comparisons, the Road Classic provides up to 50% more cornering stability and 40% more straight-line stability than the previous generation. It is approved for iconic motorcycle applications, including select Triumph Bonneville T100 and Triumph Street Twin models, subject to the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment requirements. Always confirm the recommended tire size, load rating, speed rating, and front-wheel application before installation.
This Michelin Road Classic tire is identified by manufacturer part number 76170 and vendor part number 76170. It is supplied as a front motorcycle tire and is intended to be mounted and serviced by a qualified tire professional. For best performance, follow the motorcycle manufacturer’s inflation recommendations, inspect the tire regularly, and replace it when tread wear, damage, aging, or other service conditions require.
