Champion on wet surfaces especially when braking, the MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tire provides versatility and longevity.

Increased Stability for GT Motorcycles - Thanks to novel MICHELIN 2AT Technology, you’ll feel totally safe on straight stretches and curves alike with your GT, even when heavily loaded, whether alone or with a passenger. Equipped with a revolutionary architecture providing firmness and comfort, the MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 GT tire is perfect for long trips.

XST+ Technology Providing for Superb Braking on Wet Surfaces - Thanks to its new XST+ sipe technology, the MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tire boasts a 17% shorter braking time on wet surfaces than its nearest rival*, and 24% shorter times on extremely slippery wet surfaces such as white traffic lines and pedestrian crossings.

The MICHELIN tire for all types of cruisers, offering more longevity without compromising stability and handling.

Proven Longevity - The benchmark in longevity – commissioned third-party tests show that the MICHELIN Commander II rear tire lasts almost twice as long as its main competitors.*

No Compromise on Stability and Manuverability - Thanks to its high-density and therefore stiffer frame (MICHELIN Amplified Density Technology), MICHELIN Commander II features premium handling and responsiveness. The top layers in rear tires are made of aramid fibers, which combine resistance and a lightweight feel for perfect stability, even at high speeds.
