Michelin Road 6180/55 ZR17 M/C 73W TL Rear Tyre

The Michelin Road 6 180/55 ZR17 M/C 73W TL is a rear motorcycle tyre designed for sport touring riders who want dependable road performance across daily commuting, highway travel and longer distance rides. As a tubeless radial rear tyre, it combines a 180 mm width, 55 series profile and 17 inch wheel diameter with a 73 load index and W speed rating, while Michelin states the 73 load index covers loads up to 365 kg and the W rating covers speeds above 270 km/h for the appropriate rating conditions. Built for road focused sport touring, the Michelin Road 6 takes advantage of Michelin technologies which balance wet grip, cornering stability and long term road usability. With MICHELIN 2CT+ technology, different tread compounds are used with a harder centre compound extending underneath the softer shoulder areas to increase rigidity and improve cornering stability; Michelin Silica technology improves wet road grip while supporting tyre longevity and Water EverGrip technology uses sipes which widen as the tyre wears offering improvement in water evacuation capability. For the rider, these construction and compound technologies translate into real world beneficial characteristics: predictable road behaviour, confidence in cornering, better wet road contact when riding through changing weather conditions. The radial construction is particularly relevant to those motorcycles with high speed road focussed usage, while the tubeless format is suited to modern alloy wheel sport and touring motorcycles, while the tyre is intended for paved road conditions only.
