Michelin

Have 1200 miles on these on my Specialized Tarmac in size 30, very few other choices in this size. As noted, they are very hard to mount; the master bike mechanic who put them on fought with them for way more than it took to get the Conti 5000s on, but so far they are wearing well. I have had a few small leaks in front tire, but the tubeless healed itself.

So far these are looking good, the Conti 5000's never made it past 800-900 miles on my rear (I ride on lots of chipseal roads) and they have good grip and handling.

Bought this tire on a whim having never run Michelin. I love pirellis and usually run the Pzero Race. My use case was fast training rides, in the city and burbs, and i went with 32c for comfort.

Long story short, these are some of the best and easiest tires to use. They went on easy, almost too loose on my zipp hookless wheels. Then with a normal track pump, seated after 5 pumps and fully set at 40 psi. IDK how Michelin nailed the sizing and construction, but all tires should be like this. After adding sealent, I only lost 2 psi the first night which is crazy good.

Then onto the feel, they are great. Supple, grippy, and predictable. There is a weird white powder on the center of the tire, as this tire has multiple compounds, which comes off after only a few short minutes of riding. But after the first 100 miles, they have zero wear or cuts. These are NOT the fastest tires(my guess is 13.5 watts for BRR tests coming), but they are pretty close to race day tires and i think the durability and wet grip will be amazing long term. I will def buy these again. The only thing I don't like is the logo as it was printed a little crooked, but that's a TINY niggle. I got these during the memorial day sale for 55 which is an insanely good deal.

I am using this as the rear tire on a long wheelbase recumbent. It replaces a 1.5 inch high pressure tire that just was a bit choppy ride. Adding this larger 1.95 tire allows me to go lower pressure, good cushy ride now. Tire was modestly challenging to mount, a tight fit on the rim, once mounted centered and runs true.

The longer saga was with the front tire 406, went from 1.5 inch up to 1.75 inch, a Schwalbe Green Marathon, reflective as well. Never can be too safe.

The marshmallow man (the beloved french character, not the techno dj) is back with the latest of installment of the Pro Race series we *ALL* know and love. Fast as a monegasque card dealer, grippy like a classic Cotes du Rhone, buttery smooth like baby's first beurre blanc. Ca va bien mes amis....Ca va tres bien!
