Michelin Pro4 Service Course Tire

I know there are other good tires but Michelin has always been my goto brand. These tires are no exception

I bought a pair of these for a recent foray back into road racing, and they're just as good as I remember from my collegiate days. Quick rolling, grippy (after a brief break-in period, maybe 50 miles or so), and nice and high volume. Would highly recommend for your racing needs!

Got a pairr of Pro4's in a 28 mm size for my cyclocross bike. Over time, this bike is more of a winter bad weather tow bike for a trail-a-bike, so having a comfy slick tire looked like a good option.

In addition, I signed up for my first competitive gravel event this year, and these looked like a much better choice than running a set of Ritchey cross tires for grass races.

I am impressed by these tires, which only cost $64 for the pair. They are supple, grippy and did really well on a rough gravel surface. I think I scored buying these tires, no regrets at all.

Have been using these tires for the past 3 seasons exclusively. I've changed them out after 1600-1800 miles. Minimal number of flats. Can't beat the price, especially when they show up on the Daily Speccial. I'm about ready to put on my third set.

Good all around tire

I ran Michelin Pro 2 tires for years on both of my road bikes and loved them, but the Pro 3s were extra difficult to get on and off the rims and seemed to result in flats more often then I had with the Pro 2s, so I moved away from them for a few years. I went back to the Pro 4s as they were on sale and I decided to give them a go. I was pleasantly surprised, they grip as good as ever, are much easier to apply and remove from the rims and the 4s are very durable and I got a couple thousand miles, at the least from the tires. This is a significant improvement. I was so impressed with the Pro 4s that they are once again my go to tire and I run them exclusively on my road bikes. The tire is great value and well worth the price. I highly recommend it.

Quite a tight fit new out-of-the-box, had to use tire irons the fit onto the rims. 'Not really hard on my tires, but these seem to be wearing fairly well, with good traction and handling. Excellent value when on sale from Bike Tires Direct.

I use this tire on my carbon road bike. I ran my first set together and recently had to replace the rear tire. I can say that the best feature of this tire was the way it felt on the road. It felt supple and fast. The feeling against the road made it seem like every pedal stroke wasn't being wasted from friction and being put into putting the bike forward. It was definitely an improvement over the Specialized Espoir and Continental Gatorskins that I have used before.

The only quip I had about the tire was its durability. I put on a pair of these tires at the same time and after about 900 miles, the rear tire started to have constant punctures and the tread was significantly flat. However, I'm still running the front tire and seems to have no wear on it.

Overall, I'd totally recommend these tires to anyone who wants a great feeling tire for a good price.

Very grippy and excellent road tires. They wear out pretty fast but that is the trade off for good road tires that are light and grippy.

I use this as an everyday tire. I run it at 100 lbs and I find it very reliable in terms of punctures. I have used Continentals, Hutchinsons, Schwalbe and Vittoria's and they don't beat the reliability of this tire.

I have a time trial bike with white accents, so I searched high and low for white-rimmed tires which were highly rated, light weight, and puncture resistant. I used to ride on Michelin Pro3 Race tires, and then switched to Continental Grand Prix Grand Prix 4000S. Now I'm back to Michelin Pro4 Service Course and I'm pleased with them so far.

I have these on two different Treks and they have yet to fail. These tires serve as my wife and my daily commuters.

great tires, great feel and handling. nice higher tpi feel for a clincher. i use these for road training as a bit of a luxury. there are other tires that give a good feel but last longer. i really like the feel for my longer rides.

Very fast tires, only a few Victtoria tires are faster. These tires are somewhat fragile however, and their longevity is not great. One of the best racing tires, but inspect them before every race. I personally would not buy these tires unless they are on sale.

After reading several articles about 25mm tires vs. 23mm tires I ordered these and mounted them on my bike. I'll never go back to 23mm tires. This is a much more comfortable ride with no noticeable downside. I'm a 71 year old recreational rider who logs about 80 miles a week in 20 mile rides on a steel Independent Fabrication frame. No more harsh bumps from the 23mm tires.

I purchased a set of these a while back on sale. I usually ride conti 4000 S II. Got these only due to the sale price. After getting these I was reluctant to put them on my spare road bike because of all the bad reviews. After 600 miles I have yet to have any problems or flats. Perhaps I received a set from the good batch released? I was really expecting the worst but now I must say I'm happy I put them on and got a good sale price on them. I ride on well maintained roads for the most part.

Have had some issues with separation of tread/sidewall. This has been a fairly recent issue and may have some relationship to movement of the manufacturing center. For the first few times it happened I took tires to Michelin dealer and the tire(s) were replaced. The most recent tires also have some separation (minor compared to others) issues. I have not had a lot of issues with flats and maybe it is because I tend to ride away from far right side (where all the trash is located).

Bought for road riding in city group rides. They handle ok BUT I had a flat in less than 15 miles. It was a tiny piece of shell fragment that was probably in some light gravel. I was able to break the fragment between my thumb and fingernail,so it obviously wasn't very formidable of a road hazard. These tires don't stand up to much at all. This is the second pair of Michelin tires I've had problems with. I think I'm done with that brand for good. I had a $XX pair of Mavik Aksion on my bike before these and went for 2 years without a flat. The little bit of weight advantage these tires have is NOT WORTH having to buy a whole new set after one ride. Just be warned.

I will add to the small group of riders noting a big issue with this tire. I also had an issue of riding a new tire purchased from BTD and after about 500 miles seeing the bead beginning to separate from the sidewall and the tire surface turning gummy to the point I could rub it off with the surface of my thumb. I have ridden Michelin for quite a few years (riding 3,000 miles a season on average) and I wonder if they have distributed a bad batch of tires that are the result of a flawed process. Worst of all, tow communications to BTD (one email and another phone message) have gotten NO response. Shabby customer service from a company I thought was better than this.

I had about 300 miles on these tires before I took them on a weeklong 450 mile tour. Neither tire survived the tour. The bead on the front tire separated from the side wall, causing a blowout. The rear suffered two punctures, one from a tiny piece of radial tire wire and another from a small shard of glass. The glass left a gash big enough to render the tire unusable. This is the second time I've bought Michelins and I've yet to have one reach 1,000 miles.
