This sport-touring motorcycle tyre, Michelin Pilot Road 4 R 190/50R17 73W, is aimed at riders seeking all-weather sport performance. It is developed for long-distance road riding where grip, durability and consistent handling matter. The design prioritises wet grip and water evacuation thanks to an innovative tread layout that channels water away from the contact patch.

A dual-compound profile gives a stable contact patch at lean while preserving mileage and maintaining predictable transition from upright to cornering. The carcass and belt architecture deliver responsive steering response and controlled flex to support sharp line accuracy. The tyre also optimises braking distance on damp surfaces without sacrificing dry confidence.

For the rider this translates into reliable stability in changeable British weather and durable performance across long tours. Improved wear characteristics mean fewer tyre changes and a steady feeling through corners at pace.
