MICHELIN - 48057 - Pilot Road 4 GT Tire
The Pilot Road 4 GT swaps in Michelin's 2AT technology, blending elements of radial and bias construction specifically to improve handling and stability when a bike is loaded up for two-up riding — the scenario this GT variant is built around. This 180/55ZR17 rear is approved as original equipment on the BMW R 1200RT, a sign of the touring pedigree behind it. Michelin still credits the tire with 20% longer life and grip that holds up across most conditions, plus a W rating for speeds of 168+ mph. It's the Pilot Road 4 built for carrying a passenger and luggage, not just a solo rider.
