Key specifications:
>Size: 180/55ZR17 (180 mm width, 55% aspect ratio, radial construction [“zr”], 17-inch rear rim)
>Load/speed index: (73W) (max load capacity of 365 kg / 805 lbs; speed rated for above 270 km/h / 168 mph)

Standout features:
1.Reinforced GT carcass architecture: adds a dedicated carcass casing ply to increase structural rigidity, suppressing high-speed weaving and tire squirm under heavy passenger, luggage, or trailer loads.

2.Michelin 2CT+ Dual-compound technology: features a high-wear central strip composed of 100% silica rubber layered over a stiffer base compound, flanked by softer shoulder rubber for maximum wet/dry edge grip when leaning heavy bikes into corners.

3.Water Evergrip™ 3D siping: integrates patented progressive sipes that widen as the tread wears, ensuring consistent standing-water evacuation and high wet-braking performance throughout the tire’s service life.

4.10% Mileage increase: formulated with high-density silica and adaptive functional polymers to extend total tread lifespan over the previous-generation road 5 GT.
