180/55ZR-17 (73W) Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT Radial Rear Motorcycle Tyre

Arrived quickly. Bike hugs the road like no other. Great price. Great product

Date code was 2 years old. I specifically wrote in comments that if it was over 6 months old I didn't want it. They sent tire anyway... I should have returned it but I go through a tire in a few months so I just put it on the bike. Otherwise good

Although the first one I purchased had a bad luck encounter with some road debris after only 200 miles, I've now had it's replacement on my 2013 Yamaha FJR1300A for a few hundred miles and I can say with confidence that this tire blows the factory tires away. The handling going into and around corners makes me feel drastically more confident in the bike's capabilities. Comparing the estimated tread life on these to the 4,000 miles I got out of the factory tires makes these tires an even more obvious choice. I would recommend these tires to anyone with a larger sport touring bike like my FJR who values both performance and longevity. If you regularly ride two-up or pack heavy, make sure to go with this GT version instead of trying to save the extra few dollars by going with the normal version.My Rating Standards:- 5 Stars: The product is exactly as described, completely fulfills it's intended purpose, AND I feel it is definitely worth it's current full retail price.- 4 Stars: The product is mostly as described, adequately fulfills it's intended purpose, AND I feel that interested buyers would be likely to consider it worth it's current full retail price.- 3 Stars: The product may be slightly different or lower quality than described, barely fulfills it's intended purpose, OR I have concerns over whether or not interested buyers may be likely to consider it worth it's current full retail price.- 2 Stars: The product may be substantially different or lower quality than described, failed to fulfill it's intended purpose, OR I feel that interested buyers would be unlikely to consider it worth it's current full retail price.- 1 Star: The product was completely different or lower quality than described, in no way fulfilled it's intended purpose, AND I feel that it is definitely not worth it's current full retail price.

I run these on my '09 FJR1300AE. I get great mileage out of them, usually around 12,000 miles. I ride solo without the saddlebags most times, but I also do long road trips 2 up and fully loaded for a weekend, these tires handle it all very well. They are very stable in tight twisties and smooth on the long freeway slabs. I ride year-round in Washington state and I especially like the "siping" that these tires have. They perform extremely well on wet rainy days. I always keep an extra front and a rear in the bedroom closet, a nice cool dark place, so that I can change a tire out anytime I am ready and have a free moment. I have stuck with the Pilot Road 4 GT's so far, but might transition to the Pilot Road 5 Touring's once these sets are done.

Having been through multiple sets of Contis on my RT, I opted to try out the PR 4 GTs before an upcoming road trip. Initial reaction after putting them on was that the bike felt solid. A new pair of Contis left me grinning like the bike was on rails. I didn't quite get that same initial reaction to these but the bike felt solid and provided immediate confidence. Just after mounting, I headed out west on a >4,500 mile road trip through the Colorado mountains, Utah, New Mexico, and back home to Kentucky. These went through loose road, rain, extreme heat, extreme cold, backroads, highway, you name it... In the end, I was very pleased with this set of tires. I am still debating whether they were worth the premium $$ as compared to the Contis but in the end it seems that the wear life is going to be a little bit longer than other sets I have had. After over 5k on these tires, fully loaded and riding 2 up, I would guess that I will still have another 5-6k left on these.
