The Michelin Road Classic is a Sport Touring & Classic tyre which offers the perfect balance between performance and styling. The tyre may have a retro style tread design however it’s designed with the latest materials and tyre technologies. This 100% silica rubber compound tyre is great for fast warm up and offers great wet grip. The chamfered grooves move off diagonally from the centreline, which helps to break through the surface of the water on wet roads to further increase grip in difficult conditions. There have been significant improvements in straight-line and cornering stability along with all-round grip.
“The new tyres couldn’t be more grippy. These new Michelin Road Classics have a smooth feel to their ride. After some miles and riding time has passed, I’ve scrubbed the surface finish off of them and can report that they track and corner well. The best tyres are those you don’t have to think about, and after a couple of weeks on these I can say I don’t think about them at all. The bike just goes where I point it, leans over when and how I want it to, and tracks straight. You really can’t ask for more.” Keith Fellenstein, Motorcycle Classics Sept/Oct issue p.58
