Meet the Maxxis Road MA-ST2 in a 190/55ZR17 rear setup—a tubeless radial tire built for riders who crave precise handling, strong wet and dry grip, and dependable wear on every road they ride. This isn’t a tire for occasional weekend spins; it’s engineered to elevate daily commuting, canyon carving, and long Sunday rides with consistent performance from start to finish.

Designed for sport-minded street bikes, the MA-ST2 pairs a carefully tuned profile with a tread pattern that responds to rider input with confidence. The result is a lively, predictable feel at lean angles, solid stability at highway speeds, and reliable braking feedback when you need it most. The tubeless construction optimizes heat dissipation and casing stiffness, contributing to steadier cornering and fewer set-up quirks as you push into tighter lines or long, fast straights.

Key advantages of the MA-ST2 Road tire

• Balanced grip for dry and wet conditions — a purpose-built compound and tread layout deliver secure traction across changing weather, so you can ride with confidence year-round.
• Sport-touring orientation — optimized for nimble street performance without compromising comfort or mileage on longer rides.
• Structured for high-speed stability — a robust casing and contact footprint promote steady handling at highway speeds and during quick direction changes.
• Durable tubeless radial construction — designed to resist wear patterns and maintain performance through the tire’s life, providing predictable feedback ride after ride.
• 17-inch compatibility with common sport bikes — specifically sized for riders using 190/55ZR17 rear wheels, aligning with many contemporary sport and sport-touring platforms.

Who should consider the MA-ST2?

• Riders seeking a reliable rear tire that blends sporty handling with everyday practicality.
• Owners of sport and sport-touring motorcycles running 17-inch wheels who want consistent performance across a wide temperature range.
• Those who ride in mixed weather and want confident grip during sudden rain or damp roads.
• Riders who value predictable progressive feedback, not just raw grip, especially during cornerEntry and late-apex maneuvers.

Practical tips to get the most from the MA-ST2

For optimal results, pair the MA-ST2 rear with a well-matched front tire to ensure balanced feedback and predictable handling. Always follow your motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended tire pressures when the tires are cold, and check pressures again after a ride to maintain consistent performance. Inspect tread depth and wear patterns regularly, and replace the tire before the tread wears below safe limits to preserve grip and braking performance. When mounting, ensure proper seating and mounting torque to maximize stability and longevity.

All in one package, the Maxxis Road MA-ST2 in 190/55ZR17 (75W, TL) delivers a focused riding experience: sharp response, reliable wet/dry performance, and the everyday durability you need to enjoy every mile without second-guessing your tires.
