The Michelin PILOT ROAD 4 is a premium sport-touring motorcycle tyre designed for riders seeking maximum safety and performance across diverse road conditions. This radial tyre features advanced XST+ siping technology and silica-charged rubber compounds that deliver exceptional wet weather performance, with independent testing showing 17% better wet braking performance than competing tyres. The tyre utilizes Michelin's 2CT dual-compound technology, combining a harder center compound for extended longevity and softer shoulder compounds for enhanced grip during cornering. Available in three variants - Standard for lighter sport bikes, GT for heavyweight touring motorcycles, and Trail for adventure bikes primarily used on pavement - the Pilot Road 4 maintains consistent performance across a remarkable 90-degree temperature range from 23°F to 113°F. With up to 20% longer tread life than its predecessor and excellent stability whether riding solo, two-up, or with luggage, this tyre is original equipment on numerous premium motorcycles including the BMW R 1200 RT. Testing shows impressive durability with some users reporting over 13,000 miles from rear tyres on heavy sport-touring motorcycles.
