Road 5 Touring Radial Tire-120/70ZR-17 (58W) 58Y

This is my first time not running a "street slick" like a SuperCorsa SP or similar (on superbikes) and I have been VERY impressed with these tires on a V2 Ducati Monster 900S. Good dry grip and excellent wet traction. They may not be sufficient for high HP bikes or very fast street riding but they work perfectly for aggressive cornering on a low HP bike like the Monster in the wet or dry.

Great tire at an unbeatable price.

Second time buying this tire in this size. First tire is 11k miles old. Still has usable tread but is down to the wear bars. Amazing wet and dry traction. Good ride quality as well. In short it's a Michelin. Best made tires on the planet. 2013 FZ-07. I don't think I'll ever buy a non- michelin tire for my bike ever again. Third one now. By far the best tire I've ever used . Averaging about 11k miles for the front. Excellent grip in wet or dry conditions even in extreme cold weather. Definitely give this tire a shot

Came early and is perfect quality!!

These are the only tire I ride. Try em and you’ll never go back, especially if you rip the canyons hard like I do. They are as grippy towards the end-of-life as they are the day I put em on. Also, I can ride at about 90% attack in the rain as I can in dry conditions.

love the tires. they arrived quickly and Michelin is the only tire I want on anything I drive or ride

Got 10k miles out of the front, could still go another couple. Rear is going strong, but with a slight flat center. Surprising for a literbike. When new, tires completely ignore most road defects (crack filler, grooves). Upon entering a high speed corner, little effort is required and tracking is top notch. I feel like if I let go mid corner, the bike will maintain on its own. Front tire seems noisy. I read the rears tend to toss rocks, and I believe it. A good feature in my book. Tailgaters get pelted, I've noticed larger gaps behind me when I'm stuck going slow myself. I can't stress enough the importance of correct suspension setting. Its easy to blame the tires otherwise. I do wish the rear center was softer. I like using the rear brake a lot, but the ABS kicks in and the rear is more useless than I'd like in a braking emergency. Same with hard acceleration in the wet. Michelin made a few compromises to increase mileage in the centers, assuming a responsible rider won't be a hooligan when wet. Never had to do a front before a rear until these. On a side note, date code of new tire is 1221 (March 2021). For bandit 1250 and 1200.

Unbelievably fast shipping! The tire was shipped in a box versus sent with a mailing label wrapped around it. What a great attention to and care of the item...important to me...perhaps not everyone. I didn't look at the date code yet, but will, and update my review if necessary. However, the tire has the feel and smell of new rubber versus that of a hardened and less aromatic example. I will seek this company out versus counterpart offerings on future occasion.
