Michelin Pilot Street Radial - 140/70 17 (66H)

Michelin never work on one isolated element of performance. Instead, they focus on the whole package: safety, durability and the thrill of riding… all at the same time and with no trade-offs. That's what they mean by Michelin Total Performance. Thanks to the radial construction their supple sidewalls absorb the impact of imperfections in the road surface for extra comfort and stability at high speeds. The contact patch, shorter but wider than that of a bias tyre, provides added grip even at extreme angles when cornering. Their 100% silica rubber compound makes all the difference on wet roads when combined with the deep, effective tread grooving. Radial tyres have a more even contact patch pressure in use, which results in more even wearing and a longer useful life. Their design is directly inspired by Michelin's Sport Touring Radial range and their tread pattern is adapted from the Michelin Pilot Road 2 tyres.
