Michelin makes a Pilot Road 4 in a 150/70R17 with a 69W load/speed rating, which is higher than the 60V rating of the stock rear tire. They also make a PR4 Trail with the V rating, but sounds like it is a softer compound, and somewhat harder to find. I want a pure street tire with good predicted life, & think the Road 4 would be better. But Michelin's website says "Wont Fit", mainly I believe, because of the different load/speed rating. I don't see any reason why a higher load/speed rating should hurt performance.
Anyone out there with different opinion?
