Michelin Pilot Road 2 Rear Tires

  • The ideal balance Independent tests confirm the Pilot Road 2 offers better wet grip and longer tread life than any of its competitors
  • How did Michelin incorporate these two contradictory traits in one tire? MotoGP-derived 2CT technology makes it possible, using two distinct rubber compounds to achieve what was once thought impossible
  • Innovative front and rear tread designs
  • Winner, 2009 Motorrad and Moto Revue sport touring tire tests
  • 180/55 ZR 17 rear also available in a 'B' version, specifically designed for loaded sport touring or riding two-up

Excellent sport touring tires I have the Michelin tires on both front and back of my bike. Very nice profile so rolls into corners very linearly. Very good grip for spirited riding in all weather conditions (except snow of course :-) ) Wears very well compared to my Dunlop. I continue to use these as I change my tires. I get about 2+ rears changes to 1 front. Rear lasts about 6 to 8 thousand miles.before inner casing shows. May 27, 2013
Great Tires! Great tires feels real nice i picked these over the z6 and the conti I think i made the prefect choice. May 6, 2013
Great Value This is my second set of theses tires with the first set going over 15K miles. April 29, 2013
Good tire at a good price Got about 10K out of my first Pilot Road 2, would have went a few more but I picked up a screw and swapped it out. I bought this one to replace it as it seems like a good tire for the price. April 23, 2013
These tires feel a lot more connected to the road compared to my previous tires. Previous owner had a Dunlop front tire and Shinko rear tire. All last season I never felt confident in corners. I've put about 100 miles on these Pilot Road 2's and 20 of those miles in the rain and it's given me a lot of confidence now when I lean into corner wet or dry. The bike just sticks and feels planted underneath me. I'll have to wait and see what kind of mileage I get out of them, but so far they're a huge improvement. April 22, 2013
Confident with these tires This is my first set of new tires. I switched out my stock sv650 tires. Anything were better than those stock tires. I haven't had the opportunity to try them in the rain yet. They have plenty of grip though. April 22, 2013
Great tire for commuting Great tire! This is my second set of PR2. This tire gets great traction on dry or wet roads. March 18, 2013
Its grips awesome This being a new tire obviously it grip awesome, I will have to come back later update later to see if the 'grip' is still there. March 7, 2013

Answer: 
Yes, the 180/55-17 Michelin Pilot Road 2 is a rear tire. If a specific size is available in the same size for both a front and a rear application, it will be specified as such.

Answer: 
The "B" in the tire specification (180/55ZR-17B) signifies that particular tire has a reinforced sidewall and is intended to heavier touring bikes such as Yamaha FJR1300's, BMW K1600GT's, Kawasaki Concourse's. etc...

Answer: 
So I could be off, but I believe the "b" classification refers to a higher load limit (stiffer side wall) that makes the tire suitable for use on heavier touring bikes.
