ROAD PRODUCTS GET STIFF WITH REDUCED-FLEX RUBBER The Michelin Power 5 tubeless tyres are aimed at top-end street riding. They use a singleply carcass at an angle close to 90° to increase grip and pliability at the crown of the tyre, yet folds that single ply over itself on each sidewall to stiffen it – for less flex and better tracking through corners. Its rubber compounds balance longevity with dry and wet performance, while the front profile is designed for quick turn-in and accurate feedback, and the rear for reduced flex at lean and better corner exit stability.
