This features a combination of sipes and wells in the tread pattern which cut through the surface film of water, and aid water dispersion, to offer grip levels similar to that of a dry road.<\/p>\n<p>The tyre also uses the latest version of Michelin\u2019s Two-Compound Technology (2CT) which helps the Pilot Road 3 offer excellent tyre life due to its more wear-resistant centre tread rubber compound and softer shoulder areas, which improve grip in corners.<\/p>\n<p>The Pilot Road 3 was designed using Michelin\u2019s Total Performance concept. This means that like all the company\u2019s tyres, it offers high levels of performance in all areas, such as safety, longevity, dry grip and wet grip, without compromising in any others.<\/p>\n<p>The new \u2018B\u2019 version of the tyre is available now in 190\/55 ZR 17 size and is suitable for use on other large touring bikes including the Triumph Trophy 1200.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelin has launched the new \u2018B\u2019 version of its popular Pilot Road 3 sport touring tyre designed specifically large touring bikes including the BMW K1600GT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-michelin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
