Oem to my multistrada 1200s.
It was good in the start of there life ...I had it until 15.000 KM and now it is for replacement.I am not sure that is the tyre i want.

Landsail LS388 AS rated NAN% while driving a MINI
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 spirited miles
Had a pair fitted two weeks . Back. Basically because of price. The tyre is OK . But I found the side wall had to much movement if you pushing along . Made the rear quite unsettled. I'm no racer . But even at 50mph in a bend in the dry the car was not planted as it was before . I'm going to put them on the front because it's quite nervous as it is .

Michelin Pilot Road 4 rated 76% while driving a Kawasaki z1000
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 spirited miles
I've been riding road bikes since I was 18yo Im now 54 so I have a lot of experience on this.
These are brilliant tyres for a tourer or a commuter that does a lot of miles but also gets out into the twisties to have some fun.
Once warm they do grip brilliantly for a tyre with an expected life on a 1000cc bike of over 18000klm
I have these on the rear of my Kawasaki Ninja 1000abs ( z1000sx) and have screwed them nicely for the past 12000klm since the bike was new. they only have about 2000klm left now but still grip well but are feathered up quite bad due to the severe cramp I seem to get in my right wrist from time to time
Recommend these? Yes in a heart beat... but my next set will be Metzler M7RR's I think for more grip.

Have a nice day.
From the land of OZ.
