Michelin Road 6 GT 180/55 ZR17 M/C 73W TL Rear Tyre

The Michelin Road 6 GT 180/55 ZR17 M/C 73W TL is a premium radial rear motorcycle tyre for Sport Touring and GT-class road riding, combining wet-road grip, cornering stability and touring-focused durability. This tubeless rear tyre is ideal for riders who travel on the road, covering a lot of miles whilst looking for predictable handling and confidence in all road conditions. Michelin created the GT version with a reinforced construction to offer enhanced stability on heavier GT motorcycles. With a 180/55 ZR17 specification the Road 6 GT covers a 180 mm nominal width, a 55-series aspect ratio and a 17-inch wheel diameter. The ZR is the high-speed radial construction indicator and M/C reveals that this is a motorcycle tyre. The 73 load index reflects a 365 kg maximum load and the bracketed W speed rating means that it can cope with more than 270 km/h under the applicable conditions. Ensure that these ratings are matched with the motorcycle manufacturer's approved specifications and recommended tyre pressures. Michelin's 100% Silica Technology tread compounds and Water Evergrip Technology have been utilised on the Road 6 GT to improve wet-weather grip. Michelin claims a 15% increase in wet grips compared to the Road 5 GT in the specified internal testing. The Michelin 2CT+ Technology is used on the rear to improve rigidity at lean for enhanced cornering stability, especially under powerful acceleration or braking. This 180/55 ZR17 73(W) rear size is listed by Michelin for motorcycles including the 2026 Yamaha YZF-R6 and the 2021 Triumph Street Triple R 765. Michelin testing information also cites a use of this rear size by a Suzuki 1250 Bandit S and BMW K1300R, although riders should confirm the exact year, variant and manufacturer-approved specification before fitting. For Indian riders looking for a Michelin Road 6 GT 180/55 ZR17 rear tyre, the specification is suitable for road-focused sport-touring use, including long highway journeys, touring routes, everyday road riding and wet-weather conditions. Make sure to cross-check the motorcycle's original specifications for the tyre's size, load and speed ratings, because Michelin recommends that you stick to the dimensions approved by the motorcycle manufacturer.
