The Michelin Pilot Road 4 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable handling, wet-weather confidence, and long-lasting performance across a wide range of road conditions. This Michelin tire features a 180/55ZR17 size with a (73W) speed rating and is engineered for sport-touring motorcycles. Michelin 2CT technology combines multiple tread compounds to support balanced cornering grip, stability, and mileage for everyday riding and extended touring.
The Pilot Road 4 uses an updated tread pattern and improved tread compounds designed to last longer than the previous Michelin Pilot Road 3 tire. Based on Michelin internal wear testing conducted in 2013 at the Ladoux Technology Center, the Pilot Road 4 demonstrated a claimed 20% improvement in tread life. Its tread design helps maintain traction on wet roads, cold pavement, and challenging surfaces, giving riders consistent control when conditions change. Performance is intended for normal road use and does not apply to snow, ice, or other extreme conditions.
This rear Michelin Pilot Road 4 tire was original equipment on select BMW R 1200R, BMW R 1200RS, and Yamaha Tracer 700 motorcycles. It is a practical replacement choice for riders seeking predictable road manners, strong wet-weather grip, and a high-speed capability of 168 mph or more when properly fitted and operated according to the motorcycle and tire manufacturer requirements. The manufacturer and vendor part number for this tire is 75390.
