Michelin Road 5 180/55 ZR17 M/C 73W TL Rear Tyre

The Michelin Road 5 180/55 ZR17 M/C 73W TL is a rear motorcycle tyre designed for road-focused sport touring, which combines wet-weather grip, dry-road handling and everyday touring capability. As a tubeless radial tyre, it is suited to riders who want confident road performance across changing conditions, whether commuting, weekend riding or longer motorcycle journeys. Michelin positions the Road 5 within its on-road Sport Touring range with technology developed to provide wet and dry performance mile after mile. The rear tyre uses a 180 mm width, 55-series profile and 17-inch rim diameter. The ZR designates radial construction for high-speed applications, and M/C confirms it is for motorcycle use. It has a 73W rating which corresponds to a load index of 73 and a W speed rating; Michelin states that load index 73 represents a maximum load capacity of 365 kg and W up to speeds of 270 km/h under the applicable rating conditions. The motorcycle manufacturer's approved tyre size, load rating and speed rating should always be checked before fitting. The Road 5 incorporates Michelin's Water Sipe Technology and 2CT/2CT+ tread compounds. Michelin states that these technologies are intended to provide strong wet-weather grip, with its Water Evergrip Technology to ensure wet braking performance as the tread wears. ACT+ casing technology is used to provide support for dry grip, stability and handling. These characteristics make the tyre relevant to sport-touring riders who regularly encounter wet roads as well as dry highways and everyday urban riding. The 180/55 ZR17 rear fitment is listed for motorcycles including Triumph Street Triple 765 RS, Triumph Street Triple R, Triumph Street Triple S, Yamaha YZF-R6 and Suzuki GSR 750 ABS in the manufacturer's tyre-selection information. Exact compatibility depends on the motorcycle's model year, homologated specifications and front/rear combination, so riders should confirm their motorcycle before ordering rather than selecting a tyre based on a size.
