Country of Manufacture: Spain

Country road / motorway (131 points, 2nd place): The new Pilot Road 4 already impresses with very good feedback in the first few meters and scores with its decent adhesive reserves even when cold. If the rubber temperatures rise after a short time, the driving pleasure with the Michelin increases again: the fourth evolutionary stage of the Pilot Road series can be steered safely and neutrally through curves at a high incline, the slight tilting that is still perceptible on the Road 3 is no longer possible sense. In terms of handiness, it is only a touch away from the Conti. Typical for many Michelins is a slightly crumple feeling when leaning and braking at high (tire) temperatures – the Road 4 is no exception.

Wet test (94 points, 1st place): The Road 4 even masters the extremely slippery wet test track with flying colors: best lap time, highest cornering speed, top speed on the straight. The Michelin scores not only because his reserves are correct, but because he can always be safely assessed due to his limit area. A high flyer in the rain? Not quite: Bridgestone and Dunlop brake better.

Conclusion: In bad weather, Michelin drivers have always had good cards. As expected, the new Road 4 shows no weaknesses. But the Frenchman has also improved on the country road!

MOTORRAD verdict: 1st place – 225 points
