Michelin Pilot Road 4

I am very impressed with these tires
I had battleax when I bought the bike back in 2016, and, though some reviews on these tires were good, I found them to be 'unpredictable', slippery and my confidence was low
I bought the Michelin PR4's new back in 2017 and, did the 100km/ 60 mile, run in and these tires have been amazing. I was a bit nurvy in my first biggest storm, extremely wet weather, cat's dog's and elephants haha, but the tires did not move 1 iota on the road. I was soon, very comfortable at 100 kp/h 60 mp/h as the tires stayed firm and straight
In the dry, these tires 'warmed' really quick. It's like riding on rails and locked into the surface
Obviously, dirt, grass and gravel requires a lot more care and correct braking to stay upright, yet these tires have always got me to my destinations in good time
I hear they are no longer available, so, I'm looking to stay with the brand and move onto the next PR series, I believe is 6 or 7.
Great tires and I would highly recommend these tires

Pilot Road 4 know to wiggle and slip somethimes before and in the corner on 10-20 degree lean angle or,when you cross the road white line and similar situations and this is something that you must accept and adapt. Wet grip and dry grip is decent but,on trackday if you are slow or medium slow driver,anything faster above that will cause rear wheel to slip. Response is okay,they biggest advantage is longevity and its good for touring and commuting. You can enjoy in the curves but easy on the throttle. Someting i notice is that they wear nice and gradualy from 100% to 30% and they can run for about 12.000km like that, after they reach 30% of tread they wear faster so i think they maximum is about 14.000km. The price is pretty high so i dont recommend it just beacause,there are similar tires with identical characteristic that are cheaper. I ride my motorcycle in Europe where climate is not harsh,mostly during summer and i tryed this tires in all situations,they said Road 4 is multi purpose tire,i said " For casualy riding,touring and commuting,not so sporty" One more thing,on hot summer day like 30degree outside this tires know to slip when you accelerate,not always but somethimes when you want to lauch the rocket on the straight line,you know what i mean and this dissapoints me a little bit. If the touring and longevity is important to you then consider this tire.

I can't fault these tires in the rain, they grip well and never slip. In the dry, i feel like they messesd with the handling of the bike. I spent hours trying to adjust my suspension to get the bike to handle right, changed out my tires for bridgestone s22 and all the problems went away. The front of the PR4 feels like its always gonna wash out if you put any pressure on them, but the rear felt grippy wet or dry but still a bit skittish. Are the tires good? In my opinion if you commute the same route through traffic everyday they are perfect. But if you bought your bike to have fun and want to experience what it can do then get the type of tire your bike was designed with. I think all these people saying PR4 have more grip than you can use on the street maybe right, as long as you realise you won't feel confident leaning the bike no matter how much grip the advertising says you will have.

Used on a Suzuki gsx s1000 for approximately 2000 miles for touring duties and weekend fun. Replaced the awful in the wet factory Dunlops. Dry grip: is quite good for what the tire is designed for. They will slip a little on their side if provoked but are progressive and controlled. Wet: what this tire excells at and probably the best you'll buy, no issues. Handling: The steering is neutral. Feedback: Not the best on warm days as the tread pattern causes movement. Braking: just for comparison i tested against a triumph Street triple 765rs wearing super corsa sp from 60-0mph full abs at 20c tires warmed to road temperature. On both occasions there was no notable difference between the two for braking on dry tarmac at least. Wear: Started with 6.7mm and is now sitting at 5mm at the rear after 2000 miles. Good choice if you don't like replacing tires often. Conclusion: A tire well suited for UK climate and probably all the tire you will need. However on replacement i will go for a sportier Michelin for better feedback and quicker steering.

Indonesian Review !!!
Got 4 sets of new Pilot Sport 4...
The OEM fitted was Bridgestone Turanza ER33 for 4 years, this tire absolutely rubbish.. when I drove in rainy season, this tire can not handle wet condition and the aquaplaning is really bad (absolutely bad). When ER33 was fitted, the biggest problem is understeer since my car is FWD. it lost grip when I entered corners because my house is in plateau area which built with many corners.
the OEM fitted was 195/50R16.... therefore, for better cornering I chose wider tires than the OEM fitted. So, I went for 205/50ZR16 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 with OEM wheels.
The difference is really big !, the first time I drove the car when it came out from the tire workshop is absolutely amazing. The steering feel is pretty surprising because it felt lighter and easy to turn.
When I was entering corners, it gripped really well. So, it was easy to came out the corner. The breaking distance is really well. I know I'd never measured the breaking distance when I use ER33 but PS4 is much much better.
I thought since it's sport tire, the compound will be hard and harsh when it hits speed bumps or uneven road surface, but it feels good or much better than ER33 (with soft compound) because Michelin mixed the compound for better performance for daily driving.
Since, I get this PS4 in dry season, I could not review when it hits wet road. Hopefully, I can give next review when it comes to rainy season...
I totally recommend this Michelin PS4 for you guys who drive sedan, hatchback or even MPV. Try this Michelin PS4 and you will never get upset and makes your old tire rubbish.

Tires been used on a Monster 821.. huge torque so didn't expect much life but they're dead after 5000miles.
I commute all year round in the Lake District, they grip pretty well in all conditions but they do move around an awful lot in the wet compared to the pirellis that were on there from factory and the Metzeler M5 interacts I had fitted to my previous bike. They wore much better than the Rosso 2 on the front, the rear is about the same.

They offer reasonable feedback and reasonable warm up in cold weather and wet roads, clear water well but doesn't inspire confidence and is a little slower to respond though this could be down to pressures or suspension. Rear traction is where these fall fowl as even with a small throttle input they still spin up over bumps, drains etc.

Also until they're bedded in they border on being leathal on anything but a dry road.

I wouldn't buy them again as that simple aren't as good as the Metzeler M5s which didn't even break loose in the snow on the up a 20% gradient.
