The Michelin Road 6 150/60 ZR17 M/C 66W TL is a tubeless radial rear motorcycle tyre designed for use in road focussed sport touring, providing wet-road performance, cornering stability and everyday riding comfort. This 150/60ZR17 rear size has a 66 load index and W speed rating and is suitable for motorcycles that require this size and rating. Michelin classifies the Road 6 within its touring category and the 150/60ZR17 with 66W specification is officially listed as fitting the rear position.
Suitable for riding across a combination of city roads, highways, weekend routes and for longer distances, this Michelin Road 6 rear tyre features technologies to enhance wet-road performance and stability. Michelin's Road 6 specification includes 100% Michelin Silica Technology™ tread compounds and WATER EverGrip Technology™, with 2CT+ Technology™ in the rear tyre to aid with rigidity, while Michelin's published testing information reports an increase in wet grip and longer tread-life, compared with the previous Road 5 generation (although results may vary depending on the motorcycle, riding style and road conditions, etc.)
The size can be interpreted as follows: 150 is the nominal section width in millimetres, 60 is the aspect ratio, ZR identifies a high speed radial construction, 17 indicates the wheel diameter, M/C denotes motorcycle use, 66W specifies a load and speed rating and TL means tubeless. Michelin notes that ZR identifies radial constructions suitable for higher speeds. The load index of 66 corresponds to a maximum load of 300 kg when used according to the applicable tyre and motorcycle requirements, while the W rating is associated with a speed up to 270 km/h according to the relevant rating conditions.
For motorcycles that require this size, fitment must always be confirmed against the motorcycle manufacturer's specified tyre size, load index, speed rating and wheel requirements. Verified examples for this 150/60ZR17 rear size include the KTM 390 Duke, KTM RC 390, BMW G 310 R, Kawasaki Ninja 400, Yamaha SZR 660 and Husqvarna SM 630 (although model year and market-specific fitment may apply to these examples.)
