MICHELIN Motorcycle Tires

The most trusted name in motorcycle rubber — and we stock all 53 families.

MTC Brand Rating8.9/10Elite · Unmatched Range

Michelin is the benchmark. When riders argue tires, Michelin is the standard everything else gets measured against. From the Road 6's all-weather sport-touring grip to the Power 6's track-ready compound, from Commander III's confident cruiser feel to the StarCross 6's terrain-specific mud, sand, and hard-pack options — Michelin covers every discipline without cutting corners in any of them.

At MTC, we stock 53 Michelin families, which means whether you're commuting on a scooter, pinning it on canyon roads, hauling miles on a tourer, or sending it in the dirt, we have the exact Michelin you need — mounted and balanced while you wait, priced below MSRP. Walk in, roll out on fresh rubber.

Heritage

Founded in 1889 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, Michelin has spent over 130 years engineering tires across every motorsport and road discipline on the planet. Their radial tire technology, introduced to motorcycles in the 1980s, fundamentally changed how performance rubber was built. MotoGP supply contracts, Dakar Desert Race dominance with the Desert Race Baja lineup, and decades of OEM fitment on flagship bikes from BMW, Ducati, and Honda have cemented Michelin's reputation not as a marketing brand, but as an engineering one.

MTC’s Take

Michelin sits at the top tier of our lineup alongside Pirelli and Bridgestone — but Michelin's breadth is unmatched. Where Pirelli leans into sport and superbike prestige and Bridgestone favors OEM partnerships, Michelin wins on range: they are genuinely elite in sport touring (Road 6 is one of the best tires we sell, period), highly competitive in off-road and enduro (StarCross 6 series, Bib Mousse), respected in cruiser (Commander III Touring earns an 8.7 from us for good reason), and credible in trial and commuter categories. Value is where the conversation gets nuanced — Michelin commands a price premium, but our below-MSRP pricing closes that gap significantly, and the longevity of compounds like the Road 6 and Road 5 means cost-per-mile often beats cheaper alternatives. Who is Michelin for? Riders who want the right tire for their exact application and don't want to guess. Riders who've been burned by budget rubber. Riders who know the difference.

MICHELIN Tires — FAQ

What's the difference between the Michelin Road 5, Road 6, and Road 6 GT?

The Road 5 is a proven all-weather sport-touring tire with excellent wet grip — still a great pick and available at a lower price point. The Road 6 is the current generation and improves on wet braking distance, tread life, and dry performance; it's one of the best all-around tires we carry. The Road 6 GT is built for heavier bikes and two-up touring loads, with a stiffer carcass to handle the extra weight without sacrificing handling.

Is the Michelin Commander III really worth it over the Commander II for my cruiser?

Yes, and we say that with data behind it. The Commander III uses a more evolved 2CT+ compound that extends tread life meaningfully over the Commander II while improving wet-weather grip — a real upgrade for cruiser riders who log serious miles. If you're on a heavyweight HD or Indian, the Reinforced Touring variant is what we typically recommend. Come in and we'll spec the right fitment for your bike.

Which Michelin StarCross 6 variant should I choose for SoCal riding?

Southern California terrain tends toward hard-pack and dry dirt, which puts most riders in StarCross 6 Hard or Medium Hard territory. If you're riding softer, loamier trails or heading to Mammoth for muddier conditions, step down to Medium Soft or Mud. We stock all StarCross 6 compounds and can help you match to where you actually ride — not just what sounds right on paper.

How does Michelin's Bib Mousse work and who actually needs it?

Bib Mousse is a foam insert that replaces the air tube entirely — there's no air pressure to lose, so a puncture in the desert or on a race course doesn't end your day. It's designed for off-road competition, enduro, and extreme terrain riders where a flat is a serious problem. It's not a commuter solution — the ride feel is firmer and there's no pressure adjustment — but for serious off-road use, it's a legitimate performance advantage we're proud to stock.

Can I walk into MTC and get Michelin tires mounted same day?

We carry one of the largest Michelin inventories in Orange County, mount and balance on-site, and our pricing is consistently below MSRP.
