Description
160/60R17 Michelin p/street rear
The michelin pilot street radial 160/60R17 69W is an entry-to-mid-tier street radial designed for lightweight to middleweight motorcycles. It bridges the gap between basic bias-ply commuter rubber and premium sport-touring tires like the michelin road 5 or road 6. positioned specifically to bring full radial casing technology to light-to-middleweight street platforms, it bridges the performance gap between entry bias-ply commuter rubber and premium hypersport tire ranges.
Key specifications:
>Size: 160/60R17 (160 mm width, 60% aspect ratio, radial construction [“r”], 17-inch rear rim)
>Load/speed index: 69H / 69W (max load capacity of 325 kg / 716 lbs; speed rated up to 210 km/h / 130 mph or 270 km/h / 168 mph)
>Position: rear fitment (commonly paired with a 110/70R17 or 120/70R17 pilot street radial front)
Standout features:
1.Radial Casing architecture: derived directly from michelin’s high-performance sport ranges, the flexible radial sidewalls absorb road bumps effectively while optimizing footprint contact patch consistency.
2.100% Silica rubber compound: delivers exceptional mechanical and chemical wet-weather grip, resisting cold-weather slip and accelerating tire operating temperatures during daily urban commutes.
3.High-Efficiency Water grooves: deep directional tread channels evacuate surface water rapidly from the crown outward to prevent hydroplaning on rain-soaked asphalt.
4.Extended Tread lifespan: formulated with high-durability synthetic polymers to resist rapid center-line flat-spotting, extending total mileage across highway transit and city riding.
