Michelin claim to be the manufacturer that first put radials on a road bike in 1984 but Pirelli claim they were earlier,so I'd think racing tyres were earlier 1983 with Freddie Spencer?

Freddie Spencer won the 83 500 title using a rear radial tyre but it was Randy Mamola the following year who first won a race using both front and rear radial tyres  |
