Michelin Pilot Road 4 180/55Z R17 (73 W) Rear TL M/C

I've got these fitted to a 2009 Triumph Sprint St 1050 so it's a heavier sport tourer. Unusually, most of the 2000+ miles I've covered this year have been in the wet (including several hundred miles in extreme wet) and I never once had any loss of confidence in these tyres - they were very much planted and while the guys around me in the group were having moments on other tyres I never felt anything other than a solid and predictable level of grip. The dry level grip exceeds my capability / confidence but I've yet to have any cause for concern. After 2000ish miles the tyres show minimal signs of wear. Read more Collapse

I had a pair of Pilot Road 4s fitted to my Street Triple for a trip from the UK to Nordkapp in the north of Norway, and back again - 4000+ miles in total, and I've done a fair bit of city riding since then. Norway was very cold and wet in places, with varying quality of road surface, and these tyres handled everything perfectly. They're easily the best tyres I've ever had (including PR3, PR4 and PR!). Only negative is they're not as flash-looking as the stock Pirellis, but that's the least important thing by far. Read more Collapse

I purchased Michelin Tyres for the quality and design standards. These tyres have excelled all my expectations (still to use in snow) They perform well in dry, light and heavy rain along with those patches of mud on country roads. Whatever's been around the corner, these tyres have so far dealt with. :) As far as Oponeo service in concerned, they delivered the tyres promptly and everything was very smooth (Certainly use again, within the next 6 months) Cant wait to use them for my car tyres Read more Collapse

Love these tyres! The Pilot Road 3s were good - these seem even better. Great amount of grip and feeedback in the dry - in the wet they are superb. Lots of confidence when out in any amount of rain. The wear also seems better than their predecessor but I'll still only give them 4/5 - they've got to have something to aim for! Read more Collapse

Very long life of 12000 km. On a Honda CB 1300. Tire gives good feedback on dry road surfaces and is an absolute highlight in wet road surfaces. I wear 1 set per year and enjoy every kilometer. The tire profile is definitely not beautiful, but it's so perfect that I forget it. Read more Collapse
