Sport Touring Radial, Multi-Compound, Tubeless

The Michelin Pilot Road 4 is one of the most popular and reliable sport-touring motorcycle tires, engineered for riders who demand long tread life, superior wet-weather grip, and confident performance in all conditions. Using Michelin’s 2CT dual-compound technology and an advanced tread pattern, the Pilot Road 4 delivers up to 20% longer mileage compared to the Pilot Road 3 (based on Michelin internal testing at the Ladoux Technology Center).

This tire is designed to keep you secure in cold, wet, and slippery conditions, offering impressive braking stability, cornering grip, and predictable handling. With a (W) speed rating, the Pilot Road 4 is approved for 168+ mph, making it ideal for high-performance street riding, touring, and commuting.

This 180/55ZR17 rear size is also used as OEM (original equipment) on select BMW and Yamaha sport-touring models.
