## Overview

The MICHELIN Road 5 Touring Radial Tire (120/70ZR-17) combines patented XST Evo siping and advanced 2CT+ tread compounds to deliver industry-leading wet grip and long-lasting performance. Engineered with ACT+ casing technology, it offers superior dry handling and stability, making it the go-to tire for confident, all-weather touring and aggressive cornering. Highly rated by riders for durability and consistent stopping power even after thousands of miles.

## Description

When one of the best gets better, you'll ride with more confidence - rain or shine, hot or cold, city or highway. With its new XST Evo sipes, which widen as the tire wears, MICHELIN Road 5 tires offer effective water evacuation throughout the life of the tire. The new compounds are specially formulated to provide excellent grip on a wide range of road surfaces, including painted lines and pedestrian crossings, making it easier for you to ride with confidence in virtually all conditions.

Review: This is my first time not running a "street slick" like a SuperCorsa SP or similar (on superbikes) and I have been VERY impressed with these tires on a V2 Ducati Monster 900S. Good dry grip and excellent wet traction. They may not be sufficient for high HP bikes or very fast street riding but they work perfectly for aggressive cornering on a low HP bike like the Monster in the wet or dry.
Review: Very high quality tires for my 1018 BMW R1100RT. I got 13,000 miles of my last set of these for my Beemer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***M on 6 February 2026*

These tires grip, they heat up quick also.. Ive road raced in the past and the edges of the tire are soft and you can drag knees on the street!! The center of the tire takes awhile before they start to flatten out, you'll get great mileage out of them..
