MICHELIN Road Tires Positioning Chart
Pilot Activ tires set the standard for bias-ply replacement tires. No other tire at this price offers this level of performance and durability. Compared to Macadam 50 tires, Pilot Activ tires deliver an increase of 20% in tread life*, giving Pilot Activ tires an unbeatable price/performance ratio in this market segment.
- 20% greater tread life* than Macadam 50*
- For older bikes, a significant improvement over OEM tires
- Minimal performance deterioration even when worn
- Wide range of sizes to fit popular bikes that use bias-ply tires
- Excellent value
- Significantly improved wet* and dry grip compared to Macadam 50 tires, thanks to Pilot Activ tires* increased rubber contact with the road (5% more than Macadam 50* tires) and a reformulated rubber mix.
- Optimum performance throughout the life of the tire with virtually no difference in wet grip* between a new Michelin Pilot Activ tire and a worn Pilot Activ tire.

Best trike tire I have experienced
I have seen lots of reviews on Trike talk about this tire and I have to say that it is a great front trike tire. I now have 17,000kms on this tire and hardly seems worn. Looks like I still have many more clicks to go before it needs to be changed. Canada's Motorcycle has a great price and fast delivery :)

The best tire for Trike /No contest
HI, it's me again. I now have 11,000 km on my Michelin Pilot Active Rear Tire in the front of my Honda Goldwing Trike. I've did a check this morning with the depth gauge and I've got a little bit over 6/32 in almost the whole tire and the lowest reading was at just a little hair below 6/32. I've just completed a 4 days ride ( 1400 km ) in the New York, Vermont and Massachusetts state with hundred of tights turns going up and down in the Appalachians mountains, with 70 pounds of gear, my wife riding with me and temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius. That marvellous piece of rubber is still looking good for another 5 to 10,000 km of manly riding.... at least, if not more. No more to say. I'll ride it for another while, at least 5,000 km and give another assessment.
Bonjour c'est encore moi, j'ai ce pneu au devant de mon trike Goldwing et j'ai roulé à date 11,000 km avec ce pneu. J'ai fait une vérification de la profondeur des rayures sur le pneu ce matin et j'ai encore 6/32 de profondeur sur la majeure partie
du pneu avec quelques rayures avec un peu moins que 6/32. Je viens d'aller faire une fin de semaine de 4 jours ( 1400km) dans les états du Vermont, New York et Massachusetts avec des centaines de virages serrés en montée ou en descente dans les montagnes des Appalaches. Chargé comme un boudin, je pèse 200 lbs, ma femme 115 lbs, les coffres a baggages remplis et un sac a baggage sur le rack arrière ( 70 lbs total) et pour compléter le tout des températures jusqu'a 35 Celsius. Ce morceau incroyable de caoutchouc est certainement bon pour un autre 5 à 10,000 km de performance musclé ... au moins et sans doute plus. Je vous reviendrai dans un autre 5,000 km pour vous dire comment ça va. Plus rien à ajouter, ça parle de soi-même.

Great Tires. Solid Ride.
Replace standard Bonneville Metzlers for these and so far they are performing great.

Front of trike
Used in reverse of direction arrow on front of a Goldwing trike. Got over 20000 km. Went across country 3 times. East to west, back, and east to west again. Replaced with a Avon trike front tire beginning of last season. Not impressed with that. Have this tire on shelf for start of next season.

A Great 23000km Front Tire (1995 R100R Classic)
2000km on this tire (100/90-18) and it cruises well, corners well, provides outstanding traction at street sport lean angles. I would definitely buy again. It replaced a 110/80-18 front pilot active (spec size for the '95 R100R) which was not available as the tread disappeared and the cord was nearing exposed, and had 23000km on it. (I would like way more milage to rate as excellent.) I would recommend for pavement highway sport touring rides on BMW "air-head" bikes with 18" front bias ply tires.

Smooth ride/sticky grip
I previously had a set of Avon roadriders, they were a few years old, worn and scalloping quite a bit. I had a 120 rear tire and it rubbed on the rear swing arm. I ordered a 120 in the Michelin pilot activ… and it has clearance now, probably around 3/8”. So it’s a little narrower than Avons.
I really like these tires.
They really changed the handling of my bike for the better. It feels a lot more stable

Day and night difference
Amazing tires. Still in the brake in period but already notice the difference vs. the stock metzlers on my thruxton 900

Great sport touring tire
Neutral handling with good grip. Stiff carcass means a tire machine is your best friend. Great value.

Questions
I am interested in the Michelin Pro Activ bias ply tires for my 1981 BMW R 100 motorcycle.My sizes are 3.25x19 front , 4.00x18 rear.You only list in metric sizes.I see in the states they are available in imperial sizes.I would need tubes as well.
Hi,
The tire sizes you are looking for would be the equivalent of 100/90-19 and 110/90-18. These Michelin tires would not work for your application. Our Customer Service department will contact you with more information on tire/tube recommendations for your bike.
