Best Motorcycle Tires 2018
TOP MOTORCYCLE TIRES 2018
All of the performance capabilities and fancy farkles mean absolutely nothing if your motorcycle isn’t well-situated on the road. In the end, that comes down to two things; your front tire, and your rear tire. For our 2018 Gear Guides, Lemmy highlighted the best motorcycle tires to do the trick in a variety of different riding conditions. Whether it’s gripping the road or gripping the ground (like, dirt, actual, literal ground), this list of top tires for your motorcycle provides a look at our favorite few.
Over the years we have done numerous motorcycle tire reviews both in the studio, and under our own bikes. We have ridden endless roads and trekked tumultuous trails, all the while paying attention to which motorcycle tires performed best through it all. The tires that made their way into this guide are the absolute best of the bunch that we have seen, compared, and put to use on our own bikes.
Finding the best motorcycle tires is like finding the best pair of reading glasses; it won’t be the same for everyone. We all have a different prescription. Because of that, if you are in search of some more information, be sure to check out our Motorcycle Tires 101 guide where Lemmy sets to explaining the basics for new (or just curious) riders.

Building upon the success of the Pilot Road 4, the 5th generation of the popular Road series drops the "Pilot" prefix and takes on more of an all-purpose approach to an all weather sport and sport touring tire. In wet conditions, we change the way we ride. Wisdom dictates less aggressive lean angles when traction is questionable due to slick roads. In dry conditions, well, we're out having fun. The design of the Michelin Road 5 Tires takes these complimentary riding styles into account. The section of the tire that sees the most use during day in, day out, even spirited riding is outfitted with deep, water-evacuating sipes. The edges of the tire, those that are only called into action during aggressive riding on dry pavement, are uninterrupted expanses of a softer tread compound. | Shop Now |
