Michelin Country Rock Tire

Best way to turn a mountain bike into a street bike. Fast rolling and great puncture resistance. Surprisingly high traction rubber and great tread. When commuting on asphalt gets monotonous, this tire is perfect for the trails on the long way home.

-The Country Rock Is Awesome-

I was looking for a commute tire for the MTB and came across this wonder. After checking local shops and even the almighty Sprawlmart i was amazed to find this beauty and at such a low price, i figured even if it was junk it was cheap enought to replace three times a summer. Well to my suprise the thing holds up Awesome, grips like crazy on pavement and hard pack, and rolls about a million times easier than the old knobby. So glad I found your site and these tires. It also helps that I live in Eugene so shipping is a only a day.

I've had a set of Michelin Country Rock tires on my L.L.Bean hybrid bike for the past two years. I primarily do 15-30 mile street rides with an occasional trail ride. These tires have performed exceptionally well in both environments! Very smooth rolling on paved surface, but with enough bite to hold firmly off road. Tires lookfeel sturdy and seem to be wearing well. I would not hesitate to purchase this model tire again in the future. Highly recommended.

A very nice tire that is an easy low resistance roller. Suitable for hard pack trail and street riding. Can handle some loose slop in a pinch, but best on the more groomed trails.

These are my rainy-season street tires here in Oregon. The tread seems to be just enough to help bite through wet leaves & mud on the street, and isn't enough to slow me down too much. Tires seem durable, well made, and are very easy to mount dismount. They don't have any puncture protection, but I use them with tire liners and "thornproof" tubes no flats this past winter.

I was looking for a tire that had much less resistance than my huge knoby tires for a good price. These were just what I was looking for. They roll very easily compared to my old tires and have decent traction.I primarily ride on the street so these are perfect for my daily ride. Great value and great tires!

Rarely ride my MTB off road these days so bought these and got rid of my off-road knobbies. Huge difference- rolls easy, quiet and tons of grip on the pavement. 1.75" is wide enough for grass and hardpack dirt roadsgravel. Also does well on pot holes and shoddy roads. Really love these tires, easy and cheap way to transform MTB to a commuteron road bike.

I have been riding on these since June of 2007 on the streets and trails of San Antonio, Texas. They converted my late model TREK 840 into a nice urban trail and street bike. Solid control on the streets and dusty trails...not too bad in mild wet conditions..handled a two flash flood rides home very confidently.

I have been riding on these tires for over 3 years, and I love them. There are so many 1.5" city tires out there. I don't think 1.5" provides very good protection for your rims. I put a fatal flatspot in a nice 26" rim hitting a curb with a 1.5". That made me switch to the Country Rock 1.75". The wider casing gives more air volume to soak up hits. This tire is a good blend of rim and tube protection, wet and dry grip, light weight, and smooth rolling. They wear a long time as well. You can't go wrong buying a pair of these for an old mountain bike turned townie.
