Here's the Google Translation:

Weight: 4.2 kg front, rear 6.2 kg Country of origin : Spain Info / approvals: Michelin tire plants, tel 07 21/53 00 motorrad.michelin.de,

Review: Road / Highway: (131 points, 2nd place)
Already in the first meters convinced the new Pilot Road 4 with very good feedback and scores even at room temperature using his ordinary detention reserves. Climbing after a short time the rubber temperatures of driving pleasure with a Michelin increases again belonging: safe and neutral can be the fourth stage of evolution of the Pilot Road series in high skew by corners no longer control the perceptible light Kippeligkeit is at Road 3 now feel. In terms of portability it is only a breath away from Conti. Typical of many Michelin is an easy knautschiges
feeling in an inclined position and the brakes at high (tires) temperatures - as well as the Road 4 is no exception.
Wet test: (94 points, 1st place)
Even the extremely slippery wet test track masters of the Road 4 with flying colors, best lap time, highest curve speed, top speed on the straight. The Michelin scores not only because his detention reserves agree, but because he can be judged by their limit always safe. A flyer in the rain? Not quite: Bridgestone and Dunlop brake better.
Conclusion: In case of bad weather Michelin riders have always had good cards. The new Road 4 shows, as expected, no weaknesses. But the Frenchman also on the road has risen!
MOTORCYCLE judgment: 1st place, 225 points (MOTORCYCLE test winner).
