With just over 3,000 miles on the odometer of my 2019 Triumph Speed Twin, my factory Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires were starting to get pretty square. I decided to ditch that one-trick pony and put on some Michelin Road 5, which supposedly offer a balance of serious grip in the corners, safety in the rain, and longevity on the highway. I'll be putting this tire to the test later this week when I embark on a 1,000+ mile tour of western Colorado!

The Speed Twin wears a 120/70/17 front and 160/60/17 rear. I run them both at a cold 34 psi.

At 8 minutes... that´s exactly what i felt when i tested it. I own two classic CB´s from the 70´s (450k and 550F) and a slightly more modern CB750.

Great tire choice for your style of riding. And this trip sounds like it'll be awesome, and that couldn't be a better (and more photogenic) bike for the twisty roads!

Lol I remember the weather that week last September. Not “normal” but we can get a really big swing very occasionally. I believe that week broke records for BOTH hottest and coldest days on record for those particular calendar days

I agree 100% with your assessment of the tires. I think Triumph wanted to give potential buyers the impression that the handling is on par with a high end sport bike.

Excellent choice in tire. Much better suited to that bike. Pirelli Angel GT2 and Michelin R5s are perfect for any standard, UMJ or sport naked. Both give great grip, wet or dry, and last a long time.

Great videos. Love the speed twin. I've got the 2013 Bonneville and it's beautiful but I would like a little more power. Mine is red and black. When I got the bike I didn't realize motorcycle tires don't last 30k miles like car tires. I'm driving around with 4800 miles and it was like in one week the tires went from having safe wear to being almost bald. Looking to put a longer lasting tire and here that Michelin is a good option.

Dude. If you were incapacitated in a crash and I rolled up, I’d be spending the first 10 minutes trying to figure out why you had two tires wrapped around your body. That would definitely be the most bizarre crash of my career.

I learned some things about tire technology - thanks! (I'm still bummed that RU-vid has stopped sending email notifications when new videos are available - what were they thinking?)

I completely agree with your opinion on the Rosso 3 tires, I really don't like them either on this bike.

I took my Speed Twin to Colorado this summer and put 2100 miles on it. Black canyon is a great ride. At the the end of the trip, I replaced the tires with the Road 5s. They now have 2000 miles. Great bike and tires.

Hey man! Really enjoy your videos! I have a Street Twin, and one day may upgrade to a Speed Twin. Just wondered if you’d recommend those tire for the Street Twin as well. Like you, I’m not a real aggressive rider. I’m a newish rider, so I generally take it easy, not riding beyond my skill level. Keep up the good work and enjoy your time in Colorado!
