From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Michelin City Grip Winter is highly regarded by scooter riders for its exceptional versatility and durability in cold-weather conditions. Users report consistent performance across wet and dry surfaces, with notable longevity that exceeds expectations for a winter-compound tire.
Pros
- Excellent traction in both wet and dry conditions
- Impressive tread longevity despite aggressive riding styles
- Reliable performance in snowy conditions
- High value for money due to extended service life
Cons
- Limited feedback available regarding performance on larger displacement motorcycles
- Potential for compound hardening if used exclusively in high-heat summer environments
Observations
- Users operating 200cc scooters report that the tire maintains stability and grip even at higher speeds up to 80mph.
- The tire demonstrates robust durability for daily commuting applications, showing minimal wear after two years of use.
The Pirelli P4 Four Seasons+ receives a polarized reception, with users highlighting its exceptional tread longevity while expressing significant concerns regarding noise levels and wet-weather traction. While marketed as a premium, quiet touring option, real-world experiences suggest inconsistent performance in these specific areas.
Pros
- Exceptional tread life and durability
- Reliable long-term value
Cons
- Higher than expected road noise
- Reduced traction and stability in wet conditions
Observations
- Users report that the tire's noise profile does not meet expectations for a premium touring tire regardless of vehicle application.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
