Excellent tires for my 77 CB550K

I've been using Kenda Challengers for years on all my bikes and they always wear out in less than 5,000 on the rear. They also don't do very well in the rain. After a lot of research and reading reviews I decided to spend extra and give the Michelins a try. Wow, what a difference! Very sticky, can do some really tight corners with these. They also perform very well on the highway. I can easily cruise 85+ all day no issues. With the Kendas it would always feel like everything was going to fall apart at those sustained speeds. Going over grooved surfaces and poor-quality roads is not a problem for these tires. You very rarely feel anything unless the road is exceptionally bad. The Kendas would want to "walk" if you drove over tar patches, paint lines, etc. Not a problem with the Michelins. Biggest regret is that I've wasted 15 years on cheap, crappy tires. It's an investment to buy these, for sure. But if you're debating it just do it. It's totally worth it. A whole new ride.

Great Tires

I usually run Pirelli sport demons on my vintage bikes. Recently I wanted to to try this on a 79 Suzuki GS 1000 I restored. I was so surprised how well they performed. Rock solid stability at high speeds around 100mph. Cornering is excellent as well. I have to run tubes in this tire and Michelin said it was no problem. Pirelli would not tell me yes or no if it was ok to run a tube in there vintage tire. I do like the tread pattern "look" of the Pirelli, the Road Classics look like the Avon Road Riders. Anyway Michelin said it was new, I really like the tire, the fact I can run a tube inside is a plus.

Nice Tires

Yes I had this tire put on my Honda Shadow Sabre back in 2020 and bike rides nice and grips even in wet weather!

Great tires

I replaced the Pilot Activs on my 2014 Triumph Thruxton with Road Classics and feel they offer better all-around performance. The Road Classics seem to transition in corners better and have very nice straight line feel. If the wear is as good as the Pilot Activs then Michelin has a winner.
