The Michelin Road Classic rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable wet-weather grip, confident handling, and improved stability on classic and modern-retro motorcycles. This rear tire features Michelin Silica Rain Technology (SRT), a specialized compound technology developed to enhance traction on wet roads while maintaining balanced performance during everyday riding. The 4.00B18 64H tire size is suitable for approved motorcycle applications, including select Triumph Bonneville T100 and Triumph Street Twin models. The tire is manufactured by Michelin and identified by manufacturer part number 38992 and vendor part number 38992.
The Michelin Road Classic combines its silica-enhanced compound with a bias-ply construction and bias casing supported by two crown plies. This design helps deliver controlled cornering response and steady straight-line behavior across a variety of road conditions. Compared with the previous-generation Michelin Pilot Activ, Michelin reports up to 50% more wet grip, up to 50% greater cornering stability, and up to 40% greater straight-line stability under its stated in-house test conditions. Actual results may vary depending on motorcycle setup, rider input, road surface, weather, and other operating factors.
Built for riders who appreciate traditional motorcycle styling without giving up modern tire technology, the Michelin Road Classic provides a practical balance of comfort, traction, and responsive handling. Its tread design supports water evacuation and consistent road contact, while the reinforced casing helps maintain composure during acceleration, cruising, and cornering. Always confirm the approved fitment, load rating, speed rating, and motorcycle manufacturer recommendations before installation. The Michelin Road Classic rear tire uses a 64H rating and is supplied as a motorcycle tire only.
