The new MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tyre stops 17 % faster than its closest competitor on wet pavement , and 24 % faster on a wet slippery surface . All of which means , riding in the rain should feel safer and more secure , and a lot less stressful
Lasts longer Thanks to 2CT technology , new MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tyres last up 20 % longer than the MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 tyres . Over the long run , that adds up to fewer tyre changes and a lower total cost of ownership .
