Michelin Road pilot 5 160 60 XR17 17 Tires

[Beardog]

Hi Does anyone know where in Thailand I can purchase a  Michelin Road pilot 5   160 60 XR17 17 Tires for My Kawasaki ER6n 650. I have  been able to find only the 120 70 ZR 17 for the front but every place I look states the back tire is made in Spain which is crazy they have a Michelin factory in BKK. I am having difficulties finding real websites(not Facebook) to buy a rear tire before I go with another companies tire altogether as a front & no rear isn't going to work at all. Switching from Pirrelli's I am blasting through a set withing 5000 kilos & don't do track days.

Thanks for any tips! Barry

29 tire has Pilot Road 4

Worth a call to see if the have the 5's also

But only Z rated - why do you want an X rated tire ?

If you want to try - I have had very good results with the Metzeler

Thanks I can get 4's but the newer 5's put the pilot 4's to shame the redesigned the rubber surfaces they use & made the tire 30%+ better, But I will check their site &

inquire if they can get me the tire or the set of 5's

If anyone is looking for this tire it is at IMOTO tires 1 block down from Maxxis tire in Pattaya. I have used this same shop since 2007 & was delighted after calling 3 places in Bangkok including the factory to find out they had in stock.

and they gave me a 600 baht price less than the distributor of Road 5 tires.

Thanks again for the ideas! ????

If you are in Bankok area or need to order Call Pilod at 066-142-6364 They have over 60 of these tires in stock now and he speaks English well! A
