MichelinPower Competition Tire(Return to Product Page)

Piled on about 2500 miles on a set of these and it's time to replace. I think I only flatted twice on these during that time and I ride some pretty crappy roads, so I'm pretty happy about that. $65 a tire doesn't make me happy though. Debating on trying the Endurance version this time around.

168lbs

25mm 95psi

Bora One 50mm carbon clinchers - no issues with mounting etc.

Road training mostly. I don't race and so I'm just trying to keep going at 76 and stay in the A group as long as I can.

I previously used the conti 4000's and converted to these for my go to race tires for the past two years. This with a latex tube is a wonderful smooth ride and extremely fast. I've had my best bike splits in IM distance and HIM distance races.

I wanted to try these tires since they had strong reviews from others and the description of the tire sounded good. I already use the Pro 4's and love them but now I really love the Power tires. The real test for them was in a criterium that I recently raced in. Lining up for the crit to begin, rain started. However, as advertised, the tires had great grip around tight corners. I've also been very pleased with them in climbing. I can't comment on wear since there's only a few hundred miles on them, but it's really helpful to have the wear indicators on the tire.

Reasonably quick and they look cool.

250 miles a lot on marginal roads. No flats no issues. Seems fast, durable and no problem mounting the tire. Will get more

Decided to break out of my usual yearly gp4000 order and am writing this stranded after about 200 miles on the tires (had two tubes). They are fast, feel great around corners but are not strong enough for where I ride it seems. Recommend for smooth pavement. Will probably keep the fronts on but order another continental for the rear.
