Great tirea
These have been a great tire on my bike. They feel secure and grippy on the road and really grab a turn. The ride is smooth and they installed super easy.
Sans faille!!!
J'ai installé les Pilot Road 4 Gt sur ma moto bien chargé pour faire un road trip de 15000KM et ils ont fait tout le trajet dans toutes les conditions les plus extrêmes sans manquer d'adhérence. De la pluie diluvienne sur la côte Ouest de l'Oregon au terre aride du Nevada. Sans Faille
Excellent as usual
Great tires for my FJR1300. Excellent traction over all surfaces.
BMW RT1150
I bought these based on what other RT1150 owners had said along with Michelin’s reputation. The tires felt very stable from day one and were used primarily for touring. I did ride in a couple of downpours out on the interstate and never had any “moments” because of the wet roads. Overall they have been a good tire and am just getting down to the wear bars after 8000 miles. Even though I don’t come close to pushing the limit with these tires it is comforting to know that I have good rubber underneath me.
Always A Good Grip
The grip of these tires inspire confidence and they’ve never let me down. Superior handling and safety with many miles to go.

GOOD GRIP - wet or dry
A set was installed on my 2002 BMW R1150RT, matched front & rear in OEM sizes. These tires provide excellent traction, reliable handling, and good durability. Running the mountain backroads of Tennessee, including the Tail of the Dragon, these tires performed magnificently. The limiting factors, in my experience, are ground clearance and control inputs. With smooth and even control inputs, I run out of ground clearance before I run out of traction, wet or dry. Excellent product. Will continue to ride on these tires.

My favorite set to date.
First time trying the Pilot Road 4GT, have use the Pilot Road and Pilot since 2005 but wanted to try the GT for two up riding and could not be happier from the smooth ride to overall performance.
Pros & Cons
I do like these tires, I've had 3 sets. On the Pro side, 1 handling is very good 2 they are comfortable 3 wet or dry the grip good Now, my only problem is durability. These tires just don't hold up very well for me. After 2 or 3 thousand miles, they start to get choppy, almost like an adventure tire. The softer compound on the outer edges wears quickly. But, like I said, I've had 3 sets. This is all probably due to my riding style, quick exceleration, and hard breaking in corners and fully loaded.
Tire deformation in AZ
My front tire deformed so I had to replace it prematurely. I ride up to 105F here in AZ. I know it was not alignment, but I checked anyway. All is good with alignment. I have used Metzelers and GT2’s on this motorcycle I have owned for 6 years. I have also been riding for over 30 yrs and have never experienced this issue. Please don’t assume it is the riders fault. I decided to test the GT4 and bought another set. I will send the tire in if it deforms once again.
Front tire deforms in hot climate
The GT2’s were not available so I went with the 4’s. The front tire deformed, not the usual wear nor from mis-alignmentI. I agree with the other AZ review but decided to test another set with higher psi. I have gone through Metzlers, GT2’s, and now 4’s on this bike with 45k miles. I was running the same psi as on the previews sets. I confirmed the alignment and will run a higher psi as mentioned. I think Michelin shouldn’t just assume a rider doesn’t know what he is doing and not take this seriously. I unfortunately disposed of the deformed tire, but will send this one to them if it deforms after riding in the AZ summer heat. I have been riding for over 30 yrs so I have experience with alignment and mounting tires.
