NEW MICHELIN SUPERMOTO TYRES
07 April 2005 - Michelin Tyre plc

Michelin has expanded its range of supermoto tyres with the introduction of four new tyres: a soft front, a medium/hard rear, and front and rear wets.

These are in addition to the existing medium/soft front and medium rear.

Using the proven ‘ladder’ tread pattern of the current tyres, the new soft front is suitable for use on smoother track surfaces in all temperatures and the medium/hard rear has been developed for use on abrasive tracks, in higher temperatures.

The wets use the block tread pattern from the circuit rain tyres, but the compound and casing construction have been specifically adapted for use on supermoto machines.

The tyre sizes are 12/60-17 front and 16/63-17 rear, and none of the tyres are road-legal. All tyres are tubeless but can be fitted with tubes if required.
