Michelin Pilot Street Motorcycle Tyre - 90/90-14 52P

This tyre is specifically designed for small engine motorcycles used primarily for everyday commuting and urban environments. Its size and speed rating are optimized for these types of bikes.

The Michelin Pilot Street features strategically angled grooves that efficiently channel water away from the contact patch, providing improved grip and confidence on wet roads.

Thanks to its tailored tread depths and new compound formulations, the Michelin Pilot Street offers a 35% longer lifespan compared to MICHELIN Pilot Sporty tyres, offering excellent durability for daily use.

While durable, this tyre is optimized for urban and everyday use on small engine motorcycles. For extensive, high-speed, or heavy-load touring on larger bikes, specific touring tyres would typically be more appropriate.

'90' is the tyre width in millimeters. The second '90' is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 90% of the width. '14' is the rim diameter in inches. '52' is the load index, indicating its maximum load capacity. 'P' is the speed rating, signifying a maximum safe speed of 93 mph (150 km/h).

It is recommended to check your tyre pressure at least once a week, and always before any long ride. Correct tyre pressure is crucial for safety, handling, and tyre longevity.

Yes, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended. This ensures correct mounting, balancing, and inflation, which are critical for your safety and the tyre's performance.

Check your tyre pressure frequently, as incorrect inflation is a common cause. Also, have your motorcycle's wheel alignment and balancing checked by a professional, as misalignment or imbalance can accelerate wear.

Inspect your tyre's tread depth for excessive wear; worn tyres lose their ability to channel water effectively. Ensure correct tyre pressure. If the tyre is new, consider your riding style and road conditions. If persistent, have the tyre inspected for manufacturing defects or damage.

This could indicate improper tyre balancing or an issue with wheel alignment. It may also be caused by damage to the tyre itself (e.g., a bulge or flat spot). Have the tyre and wheel professionally inspected and balanced.

Check for visible punctures or leaks around the valve stem. Sometimes a slow leak can be caused by a poorly seated bead or a compromised rim. If you can't find an obvious cause, have a professional check for hidden punctures or rim issues.
