Michelin Pilot Road 5 120/70 R17 58W

Michelin Pilot Road 5 120/70 R17 58W is a premium touring front tyre designed to deliver excellent grip and long life for modern motorcycles.

The Michelin Road 5 series brings advanced wet-weather performance and confidence-inspiring handling, and the Pilot Road 5 in size 120/70 R17 (load index 58, speed rating W) continues that reputation. This tubeless (TL) radial tyre is engineered for front-wheel fitment on Naked, Touring, and Sport Touring bikes.

Constructed as a radial (R) tyre with a 17-inch rim diameter, 120 mm width and 70% aspect ratio, the Pilot Road 5 balances agility and stability for everyday riding and long-distance tours. Its construction supports a maximum speed capability up to the W rating (up to 168 mph), making it suitable for spirited road use where high-speed stability is required.

Key design priorities for this tyre include improved wet grip and tread life, which are especially valuable to riders who frequently encounter changing weather conditions. The tyre labelling as M/C confirms its motorcycle-specific homologation and intended application.

Common use cases include commuting in mixed conditions, multi-day touring with luggage, and sport-touring rides where predictable front-end feel is essential. Riders will appreciate the tyre's feedback and predictable behaviour when cornering, braking, or riding over different road surfaces.

Installation is straightforward as a tubeless front tyre, and the 58 load index covers a wide range of solo-rider front-load requirements. The combination of the Michelin Road 5 technology and the tyre's dimensions makes it an excellent choice for riders seeking confidence in wet weather without sacrificing mileage.
