The Michelin Pilot Road 4 R 160/60R17 69W is a sport touring motorcycle tyre designed for riders seeking strong wet performance and longevity on road bikes. It is suitable for long distance touring and spirited weekend rides where consistent traction in variable conditions matters. The tyre name reflects a focus on wet grip and predictable behaviour under lean.

Its tread compound and pattern were developed to deliver reliable adhesion in wet conditions while offering progressive feedback as lean angle increases. The profile optimises the contact patch to provide stable steering response and confident cornering stability. Dual compound technology balances grip and mileage so the centre wears evenly while shoulders retain traction for turns.

Riders will notice a clear reduction in braking distance on damp surfaces and improved water evacuation when riding in rain. The tyre contributes to a composed ride with reassuring feedback when changing lanes or navigating twisty roads. For practical touring use the Pilot Road 4 R combines durability and safety so riders can cover miles with reduced degradation and steady performance. Outstanding wet grip and consistent mileage support its touring credentials.
