FAQs

What type of motorcycles are these tyres best suited for?

The Michelin Pilot Street (110/80-17 57S) is ideal for small engine motorcycles used for urban commuting and everyday riding.

How long can I expect these tyres to last?

These tyres boast an extra-long lifespan, lasting 35% longer than MICHELIN Pilot Sporty tyres, offering excellent durability for daily use.

How do these tyres perform in wet conditions?

The Michelin Pilot Street features specific tread depths and grooves angled towards the shoulders, which efficiently cut through water to ensure good grip on wet surfaces.

What do the numbers and letters '110/80-17 57S' mean?

'110' is the tyre width in millimeters. '80' is the aspect ratio (sidewall height is 80% of the width). '17' is the wheel diameter in inches. '57' is the load index (maximum weight the tyre can support). 'S' is the speed rating (maximum safe speed for the tyre).

Can I use these tyres for aggressive sport riding?

While the design is sporty, these tyres are optimized for urban and everyday riding. For aggressive track or pure sport riding, tyres specifically designed for those high-performance applications would be more suitable.

How often should I check my tyre pressure?

It is recommended to check your tyre pressure at least once a week, and always before a long ride, using a reliable pressure gauge.

Troubleshooting

Tyre wearing unevenly or too quickly.

Check your tyre pressure frequently; both over and under inflation can cause uneven wear. Also, ensure your motorcycle's suspension and alignment are correctly set by a professional. Aggressive riding styles can also accelerate wear.

Feeling of reduced grip, especially in wet conditions.

Verify tyre pressure is correct. Inspect the tyre for wear beyond the tread wear indicators or any damage. If the tyre is worn, it may be time for replacement. Ensure your riding style is adjusted for conditions.

Motorcycle feels unstable or wobbles at speed.

Immediately pull over safely. Check tyre pressure. This could indicate an issue with tyre balance, improper installation, or a damaged tyre. Seek professional inspection from a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent balance of grip and wear for daily riding.
Reliable performance on wet surfaces.
Significantly extended tyre lifespan.
Sporty look inspired by high-performance tyres.
Predictable and enjoyable handling.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

For your safety and optimal performance, it is crucial to have the Michelin Pilot Street Tyre (110/80-17 57S) installed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic. Proper installation includes mounting, balancing, and ensuring correct bead seating. Do not attempt to install motorcycle tyres yourself without professional tools and expertise.

Compatibility

This tyre is specifically designed for small engine motorcycles. The sizing `110/80-17` indicates a tyre width of 110mm, an aspect ratio of 80% (meaning the sidewall height is 80% of the width), and a fit for 17-inch wheels. The `57S` rating denotes a load index of 57 (up to 230 kg or 507 lbs) and a speed rating of S (up to 180 km/h or 112 mph). Always verify these specifications against your motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations in your owner's manual.

Care and Maintenance

Tyre Pressure: Regularly check and maintain the correct tyre pressure as specified by your motorcycle manufacturer, not the pressure printed on the tyre's sidewall. Incorrect pressure can lead to uneven wear, reduced grip, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Visual Inspection: Before each ride, perform a quick visual check for any signs of damage such as cuts, punctures, bulges, or embedded objects. Also, inspect the tread for excessive or uneven wear.
Tread Depth: Monitor tread depth regularly. Replace the tyre when the tread wears down to the minimum legal limit (often indicated by tread wear indicators within the grooves).
Cleaning: Clean your tyres with mild soap and water to remove dirt, grime, and road contaminants. Avoid harsh chemicals or silicone-based products which can degrade the rubber.
Storage: If storing your motorcycle for an extended period, ensure the tyres are off the ground or the weight is evenly distributed to prevent flat spots. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone-producing equipment.
