Michelin Pilot Street Motorcycle Tyre - 100/80-17 52S

The Michelin Pilot Street Tyre - 100/80-17 52S is specifically engineered for small-engine motorcycles primarily used for daily commuting and road riding in urban environments.

Thanks to its angled grooves, this tyre excels in wet conditions by effectively cutting through water, providing good grip and enhancing safety on rainy roads.

The Michelin Pilot Street Tyre is designed for durability and offers an extra-long lifespan, lasting 35% longer than MICHELIN Pilot Sporty tyres, reducing the frequency of replacements.

While optimized for small-engine urban use, it's crucial to always verify that the specific size (100/80-17) and load/speed rating (52S) match your motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations. Using an incorrect size or rating can be unsafe.

The correct tyre pressure should always be determined by your motorcycle's manufacturer specifications, typically found in your owner's manual or on a sticker on the swingarm. Always check pressure when tyres are cold.

Ensure tyre pressure is consistently maintained at the manufacturer's recommended level. Excessive or insufficient pressure can lead to uneven and rapid wear. Also, review riding habits; aggressive braking and acceleration can accelerate wear. Info needed: Consult a professional to check wheel alignment and suspension settings if wear remains unusual.

First, verify that the tyre pressure is correct. Insufficient tread depth will also significantly impair wet grip, so check the tread wear indicators. Adjust your riding style for wet conditions, reducing speed and making smoother inputs.

Check tyre pressure immediately, as incorrect pressure is a common cause. Confirm the tyre is correctly balanced; an unbalanced wheel can cause vibrations and instability. If issues persist, have a professional inspect the tyre for damage and the motorcycle's suspension and steering components.
