MichelinCity Tire 700c(Return to Product Page)

Bought this tire after my original set of Bontragers gave out. Opted for a treaded tire instead of slicks. Rolling resistance is very low, in fact I didnt notice much difference. The BIG difference was when I went to HNH100 last summer. 110F in the shade with road surface temps approaching 130F. I saw TONs of exploded tires on the side of the road. Many quit after loosing more than one tire. These kept rolling along, over chip seal, HELL hot Texas roads. I ran them around 95psi, never missed a beat, and better traction which gave me piece of mond after taking a spill on barely wet road....good tire. Have about 2K on both, and ready still for another season of riding.

I like the look of these tires. I bought 32's which were actually 35mm wide. They seemed to roll pretty good. The thing that made me switch to another tire was that they still got flats. My punctures were all glass caused. I think that they are a bit heavy. On the plus side, they didn't show any wear after several thousand miles.

Usually use Continental Contact tires on my commute (paved but not in good conditions in some places)), but wanted something 'faster' (less rolling resistance). About 900 miles total on Michelin City, at 0 dark 30 on my commute to work went through 2 tubes and a $$ taxi ride home to discover basically a rip in the side wall when installing a 3rd tube at home (discovered when it blew out - literally). Will stick with the 'slower' Continental, no side wall problems in 10 years with it.

Ive been riding a set of these for about 6 months. The tires ride nice, and i havent had any flats while riding them. My only issue is just last week i noticed the rear tire has a moderate buldge on the side wall. ( i did also rotate these tire about 3 months ago ) Regardless of this issue ive been happy enough with these tires that i plan on replacing the rear with another Michelin City Tire.

Have only been riding these for about a week now but I have to say, 28's are a huge improvement over 23's for the less than stellar road conditions here in Providence. Good ride on dry or wet pavement. Plenty of coasting speed with these inflated slightly higher95psipressure than the list max of 87psi as suggested in some of the other reviews I've read. Pretty easy to install. Could corner a little harder on the 23's but that's to be expected. It isn't really as big an issue for me as being able to take a pot hole or two without getting a flat.

I have recently purchased the 700c X 35mm size City tire for my Cannondale and I can not get over the difference it has made in my daily ride to work. The traction is fantastic, I have not had once puncture. Something I was dealing with every other day with my old tires. I have not changed routes, so I make the assumption that the new Michelin's are doing a great job where the old tires could not cut it. One of the best things about these tires are how quiet they are, people who are walking I have to make sure they are aware of me overtaking. With a tread life of 6000km I will have these tires a long time and look forward to it.
