Michelin Road 5 GT Rear Tire

Description

The Michelin Road 5 GT is the latest addition to the Michelin Road 5 motorcycle tire range. It is designed for long-distance touring enthusiasts. Touring motorcycle fans demand specific tires that deliver safety, comfort, long life, stability and sheer riding enjoyment irrespective of the conditions, and even when a high number of miles have passed under their tread. Developed in exactly the same spirit and to the same rigorous standards as the Michelin Road 5, the GT version packs the technological advances that are a hallmark of the other tires that make up the Road 5 range. To address the exacting demands expressed by owners of this type of motorcycle, the Michelin Road 5 GT places the emphasis on performance, notably on wet roads, along with stability and efficient braking, especially in instances where riders are caught out by poor weather. Following in-house comparative tests, the new tire came out on top in terms of grip and braking performance on wet roads, even when as much as 50 percent worn. The Michelin Road 5 GT benefits from additive metal manufacturing technology which permits the making of highly sophisticated molds, as well as the incorporation of Michelin XST Evo technology whereby the tread pattern’s sipes widen to increase the tire’s sea-to-land ratio, and thus maintain its water-clearance capacity, as the tire wears.
