Real tire for real riders. - Best tires for fair weather riding. Phenomenal tires. Anybody with a bad opinion of these tires simply CAN NOT be trusted. Dual compound, hard rubber center increases travel mileage, soft shoulders have you scraping peg in the twisties. Unbelievably good and confidence inspiring. I got 7k before the cords started showing on the rear, stetched to 8k with care. Front could probably make it 10k but I replace anyway. Oh, and that's wear from big bore KAWASAKI torque, not childish, mouth breather burnouts. I run these on the last of the real Japanese Superbikes, the mighty KAWASAKI ZRX1200R. Also the killer Z1000. I simply LOVE these tires, I run them on every motorcycle I own. Are they good in the rain? I dunno. I keep a clean machine and dont ride wet. If you're a commuter who does, try the Road 6. If you're a fair weather rider like myself, who travels some miles to get to the twisties (like most Florida riders) buy these. Chicken strips are the sign of POSERS. These tires get down. You wont be disappointed. Review: great tire not a full lean track tire though - i bought this set front/back for my gsxr750, they were really sticky for the road and can be used on the track. but they are not full lean tires and start slipping a little on the track when you get too low or the tires get too warm. but my road rides are amazing and they work on the track too. not to mention the price was great. ## Features - 20% softer rubber mix on the edges of the tread yields phenomenal cornering grip* - Track-day tire that's equally at home on the road - Lean angles up to 51.2 degree measured on Michelin test track* - Real MotoGP technology from the tire company that has won 15 consecutive GP World Championships - Precise handling and feedback ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005J889QA | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,145,666 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #562 in Street Motorcycle Sport Tires | | Brand | MICHELIN | | Brand Name | MICHELIN | | Construction Type | Bias | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 258 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 24.8 x 24.8 x 7.1 inches | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Load Capacity | 805 pounds | | Load Index | 73 | | Load Range | M | | Manufacturer | Michelin | | Manufacturer Part Number | 26213 | | Model Number | 26213 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Ply | High-Ply | | Rim Size | 17 inches | | Rim Width | 18 centimeters | | Seasons | Year Round | | Section Width | 18 centimeters | | Size | 180/55-17 | | Speed Rating | W | | Tire Aspect Ratio | 55 | | Tire Diameter | 180 inches | | Tread Type | Directional | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Tire ISO Metric Size Description | 180/55-17 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MICHELIN - **Load Capacity:** 805 pounds - **Load Index:** 73 - **Rim Size:** 17 inches - **Rim Width:** 18 centimeters - **Section Width:** 18 centimeters - **Size:** 180/55-17 - **Speed Rating:** W - **Tire Aspect Ratio:** 55 - **Tread Type:** Directional ## Images ![Michelin Pilot Power 2CT Motorcycle Tire Hp/Track Rear 180/55-17 73W - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Q7YYSbz1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard to beat for the street.
