Michelin Pilot 4 Road Tires

The PR4's ar all the rage on the CB1100 forum, too much good feedback to ignore....looks like Michelin has a winner here.

  I love the ride on my Shinko Raven's for my Norge except one thing.  The handling on grated bridges is absolutely the scarriest I have ever experienced.  The stock Pirellis and especially the Birdgestoine's I ran previously showed no ill effects compared the violent jerking and  bouncing the Ravens do.  The front Shinko has a pronounced center groove and I believe that is the culprit.  I a may try another tire from there lineup.
  My problem with Michilin is too may people report that the handling deteriorates as the tire wears, the Bridgestone showed not of that.

After running thru a set of Pilot Road 3's in 12k miles, I put on a set of Pilot Road 4's, including the 2GT rear tire since I do ride 2 up fairly frequently.  It works just fine whether I'm riding single or 2 up on the Norge, odd advice given earlier about it being squirrely unless it's a heavy cruiser is accurate since it's working very well on the Norge.  So far, I've got about 6K miles out of them, and easily 1/2 the tread depth left from what I see.  Excellent tire, supremely stable in wet and dry conditions, sticky and plenty of grip when leaned over...love the tire so far!

I installed them on my R1150r last year, ove the ride and feel on wet or dry pavement, over 5K miles on them...  some told me that they are better suited for the heavier RT but I find them just right...
