MICHELIN - 32169 - Power 5 Tire

This 190/50ZR17 Power 5 rear is Michelin's wider footprint option for liter-class sportbikes that put down serious horsepower and need the extra rubber on the road to use it. The 2CT+ dual compound and 11% void ratio work the same way as the rest of the Power 5 line — channeling water away in the wet while keeping the center and shoulders responsive through transitions — and the tire carries a (W) speed rating for year-round sport riding. Michelin's internal wet-track testing showed the Power 5 outpacing rivals from Bridgestone, Pirelli, Continental, and Metzeler — evidence of real performance.
