  MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tires stop faster in the wet than any other tires in the category. But don’t just take our word for it. Independent tests prove it.* The MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 brakes 17% shorter than its closest competitor on wet pavements and even better on slippery wet surfaces thanks to MICHELIN XST sipes technology. All of which means, riding in the rain should feel safer and more secure, and a lot less stressful.

• Lasts Longer

  Thanks to improved 2CT technology, the new MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 lasts 20% longer than MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 tires**. Over the long run, that adds up to fewer tire changes and a lower total cost of ownership.

• Grips the road in virtually all conditions

  All-new silica-charged rubber compounds were developed for the MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tires. These compounds are specially formulated to provide excellent grip on a wide range of road surfaces, including painted lines and pedestrian crossings, making it easier for you to ride with confidence in virtually all conditions.***

• MICHELIN 2AT provides extra stability for heavier loads

  Whether you are riding your GT-class bike solo, 2-up or with luggage, you’ll appreciate the added stability provided by MICHELIN’s new 2AT technology. With MICHELIN 2AT technology, your heavy touring bike will feel stable and secure in both straight line and cornering situations.
