Great dry conditions cyclocross race tire!

The 35mm version offers a bit more rough terrain comfort than standard 33mm CX tires, and it still fits in-between my dedicated CX bikes chainstays.

Surprisingly good braking and cornering traction even on moist grass sections of CX courses. No burps or air leaks, but the center knobs do wear down fast if you use them on pavement (pre-race warmup laps).

After a few months the tire now measures 37.2 mm (knob to knob) on a 21mm internal width rim. They measured ~36mm when I first mounted them.

Pretty Okay

These tires are pretty fast on hard-pack dirt and pavement. Easy to mount on WTB hoops and setting up tubeless is easy-peasy.

My only nit is they wear FAST. My rear tire tread lasted all of about 700 miles before becoming a "slick" in the center of the tread. Tire was ridden probably 50/50 hard-pack dirt and pavement.

Awesome

Switched from a schwalbe allround and this has been much better imo. I have it set up tubeless and it seems to be offering better puncture resistance and less leakage than the schwalbe. It does well on gravel and I have only had slippage when struggling slowly up steep climbs, but it was manageable. Considering the aggressive tread it also does well on the pavement. I'll be purchasing again

Great 47c option with protection, reasonably fast rolling

Weighed in at 570g and measured 47mm on the dot on Roval Terra C 25mm internal rims. Easy mounting and setup, reasonably fast rolling considering the size, definitely not as fast as a Terra Speed or Pathfinder-style but not pigs by any means. Ran these super low pressure with inserts and you can smash any sketchy descent you'd like.

Awesome tubeless gravel tire for Stans Rims be prepared for a tight

Excellent high-performance tubeless gravel tire. The tread is ideal for hero-dirt and pavement. In muddy conditions, the tread collects minimal mud or clay. I rode the 2019 Grinduro with the Michelin up front. It rolls smooth and fast on pavement. Superb handling on gravel and even in light snow (yes, it snowed). Overall, I was delighted.

These tires fit Stans Tubeless Ready rims. Therefore theyre not right for the UST rims.

Be prepared for a very tight fit the first time you mount these tires. But dont be discouraged a tight fit is a good thing. If you ever need to remove the tire, the subsequent mounting is much easier.

Some tips

- Warm the tire in a bucket of warm-to-hot water immediately before starting the fit.

- Use a sponge to soak the rim and the tire bead with heavily soaped-up water.

- Keep applying warm soap water as you work the bead.

- Seat the bead around the valve first then work your way to the opposite side of the rim.

- I kept the valve raised high in the rim until the tire was fully mounted. This creates more room for the bead on both sides of the valve. I tightened the valve as the final step before inflating.

- its such a tight fit that I was able to inflate it with a regular floor pump. That should tell you something.

2019 Belgian Waffle Ride and Dirty Kanza 200 tested

I purchased a set of the the 700 x 33 for the 2019 Belgian Waffle Ride and a set of the 700 x 40 for the 2019 Dirty Kanza 200. Both sets of tires performed brilliantly No flats and very fast rolling. For the Belgian Waffle ride I was looking for a tire that would hold up to 45-ish miles of off road yet still be super fast on the 90-ish or so miles on pavement. The 700 x 33 paired with my Reynolds Strike 62mm wheelset was perfect! What really surprised me was how fast this combination is on pavement. I didn't detect any sacrifice in top end speed with this wheel and tire combo. Additionally the traction on off road sections (gravel, loose sand, hard pack dirt) was great. I will be using this exact same combination (55 psi and orange seal by the way) for the 2020 Belgain Waffle Ride. The 700 x 40 I used for the 2019 Dirty Kanza 200 performed equally as well. I paired these tires with the DT Swiss ERC 1600 wheelset. This tire wheel combination is incredibly durable and in my opinion perfect for a ride like Dirty Kanza. The 40mm width provided the perfect amount of traction, rolling resistance, and most importantly comfort for 202 miles of Kansas' finest gravel roads. Up until race day I was seriously considering using a 650b tire wheel combo but decided on using the 700 x 40 power gravel tires instead. I'm glad I did. My concern was more about combating fatigue vs fitness over the course of 200 miles of gravel and 14 hours on the bike. The 700 x 40 (30 psi and orange seal) provided great comfort and were super fast rolling on the gravel. If I were to change anything, I would use a lighter wheelset (just nit picking as the DT Swiss wheels were awesome). Having said that, I didn't experience any flats or mechanicals during the entire 202 miles. Great Tires and Wheels! These are now my go to tires for any race that has a serious amount of graveloff road sections. Highly recommend!

Good as a warm weather tire

I had no trouble mounting these tubeless, and had no leaks. I put my wheels outside over night to cool them off and put the tires on the radiator to warm and expand them a smidge. A little soapy water also helped. The tire has been fine, not amazing. In the cold, the rubber compound turns plasticky and loses its grip, particularly in icy conditions or on pavement. I found that out the hard way. I found the the Conti Terra Speed to be a much better year round gravel tire (though it was hard to mount and tread life was about 1800 miles). I probably won't buy the Michelins again.

Decent little tire

I purchased this tire for early season 'cross. I am running an MXP up front and this on back for the local grass crit series. So far it has provided all the traction I've needed without the rolling resistance penalty. It does well on my local training loop through 8 miles of loose gravel trail.

Setting it up tubeless is a must and so far zero issues. I will likely return to dual MXP's once traditional cross conditions return to North Carolina, but i'd recommend this to anyone early season

Absolute best tire I have used

After using tires from Specialized, Vittoria, Clement, WTB and Continental on this bike, these are by far the best tires I have used. Set up as tubeless, the ride, traction, response and 'feel' are incredible, in the dirt and on pavement. I was actually able to seat the bead using a floor pump, which had never happened before (I was not even able to get the Conti tires to seat at all). NO WAY will I ever use another tire, unless Michelin comes out with a slick model in a 28. Highly recommended.

A little hard to seat but fast and durable

Got these to replace a pair of Gravelkings which didn�t last long on my combo pavement/gravel rides. The Power Gravels offer good puncture resistance and are fast on pavement but were tough to seat on first install. I still use tubes and had to

pump up to 95 psi to get them to seat.

Avoid this tire.

I purchased a pair of the 700X40 Power Gravels. After 4 re-mounts, one of the tires was out-of-round by a full one centimeter. The other had a significant wobble but was rideable. BTD exchanged one of the tires for a replacement. Amazingly, the replacement tire was more out-of-round than the original. Obviously, quality control on these tires is below any acceptable standard. My advice is to avoid them. BTD should discontinue this tire.

Very tight and hard to mount, then beads wouldn't come off. One tire leaked like a sieve regardless of adding sealant. Cut off and threw away.

Won't buy Michelin again. Will go back to Schwalbes that are easy to mountdismount and don't leak.

The perfect gravel tire compromise

If a schwalbe G one and a Terravail cannonball had a son, it would be the Michelin power gravel. You got the speed of the G one and the puncture resistance of the cannonball. The perfect compromise. On top of that, the tire is very affordable. Got already over 1000 miles of gravel on this set and doesn't show any wear at all. My tire of choice for the coming season. Good job Michelin!

hardest tire to mount

this tire is way too tight to get on my envie rims. I struggled for an hour to get them on, and figured if I was out on a trail with a flat it would not be fun trying to install a tube. don't buy this tire!!!

Nice, free-rolling gravel tire

I'm using the Michelin Gravel tubeless on my 2022 Lynskey. Ride mostly forest service roads, pretty smooth with some chunks. Decent traction in soft spots. Wore a bit fast
