MICHELIN - 88786 - Road 5 Tire
This 190/50ZR17 Road 5 rear, rated (73W), is Michelin's wider sport touring fitment carrying the same Water Sipe Technology and 2CT/2CT+ compound strategy the Road 5 line is built around. Michelin's ACT+ casing adds improved dry grip and stability on top of the tire's wet-weather focus, aiming for a tire that feels secure across most real-world conditions rather than excelling in only one. It's sized for the bigger sport touring bikes that need extra contact patch to manage more power and weight without giving up the Road 5's confidence in the wet.
