MICHELIN - 11160 - Road Classic Tire
The Michelin Road Classic is a retro-styled tire engineered for modern performance, built around Michelin's Silica Rain Technology compound and approved for iconic models like the Triumph Bonneville T100 and Street Twin. Those gains come from a compound and casing update aimed squarely at wet-weather confidence and stability, without losing the classic tread look riders choose this tire for in the first place. This listing covers the 130/80B18 size, built for the rear in a blackwall finish.
