+1 for the Pilot Road 4. I'm running those on my '13 and LOVE em. Plenty of grip wet and dry, predictable handling, and a large temperature range.
Don't go GT - that's for a heavier bike.
Same here, mine was bald on the left side. I think it's due to the crown of the roads. We get a lot of rain and all our roads have a high crown.I'm about to order the pilot road 4's. I noticed on my front tire that the left side is very bald when the right side isn't !? Lol. Weird.
3,000 miles in 9 days on road4's and they still looked like the day I put them on.
Ran them through the dragon and love them! Very quick warm up, go where you point them! Oh, and they're great in the rain. No evidence of squaring.
Depends on how you ride but the PR4 is NOT a track day tire, if that helps, but you probably know that already. That's a serious long-distance tire for heavier sport/touring bikes. The FZ8 is very light so the PR4 is gonna last a LONG time, but do not expect anything like the grip of a PP3 or Dunlop Q3 out of them. Lean angles are fine but if you expect to wick it up hard driving out of a turn whilst cranked well over, best get a PP3.Tired of getting new ones every 6 months...looking at pilot road 4 gt...anyone running these? How many miles you have on em? How aggressive can you ride on them?

That's exactly what Michelin says; the PP3 is a street tire for aggressive sporty riding, and also good for the odd track day, where the PP4 is a street tire. Not a good idea to ride on the street as you would on the track anyhow.The pp3 is what I took off. Grip is extremely comprable between pr4 and pp3..both have 2ct..I ride on the street..not the track..when I go to the track I will run a track tire. I have had both pp2ct and pp3..they last barely 3,000 miles.

The whole reason I'm getting the PP3's is 'cause the Q3's just don't last long enough and the FZ8 is not my track bike.
I am looking forward to trying these PP3's out!
Got the set..**** it
