MichelinPro4 Endurance Tire(Return to Product Page)

I like the tire and tubes. They ride well and appear to be a very good product. Just a few miles but so far doing well.

I ride 180 miles per week. The Pro4 Endurance tires have the lowest rolling resistance with high punture resistance. These tires typically last 3000 plus miles on reasonably paved roads. Best tires I have ever used.

I'm on my fourth set of these tires. They are extremely durable and resistant of almost everything on the roads. I've had less than five flats on all the sets I've riden, and I Out upwards of 10K miles a year. I'm getting about 3K on the front & 2K rear.

These are the first Michelin Pro 4 Endurance tires I have purchased. They were recommended by a friend who uses them and they are a great tire. Comfortable and durable. I would definitely purchase them again.

I've gone back and forth between these Michelins and Continental Grand Prix 4000s. I've been very pleased with both. Michelins seem to be just a tad thicker and more durable, but I would assume weigh a little more. For the price difference between Continental and Michelin, I'd say save your money and buy the Michelins unless you're a purist. Yes, the Continentals have become the gold standard, but these Michelins are damn fine tires for the money. Depending on the deals being offered, you could save $20 or more per set if you choose Michelins.

I been using the 28 mm wide ones all of 2016. The larger air volume really improves the ride. No flats either. I have them on two of my bikes and also on my wife's bike. I really like this tire.

Great tires

Great grip, lightweight, plenty of color combos to match your ride. Not the longest lasting tire out there, flattens out before wearing out.

I bought 4 sets of Michelin Pro4 Endurance tires to replace my worn out Gator Skins TiresI Thought I'd try these as they were on sale and lots of good reviews! Great all around tire in hot, warm, wet weather, Great grip in all conditions of the weather, Very easy to mount, Bi-Directional mounting, I have around 500-600 miles and so far so good! I have these mounted on all my road bikes 3 steel bikes, 1 carbon bike! Ride is fantastic!!

I had gone through 4 sets of these tires, been very pleased with the appearance more than anything. Perform well and hold up good. Flat tires for the most part are from debris on the road you can't help that and I will not consider that a tire defect.

The reason I don't give the 5 stars is because every set of these tires have delaminated from the seams where the colors meat the black wall even when the thread is still in very good condition having to purchase new tires because of that.

They last me in average of 1000 miles at the most I don't go by months and they fall apart.

They are made to last that long because they are racing tires and that's all you get from them, I can understand that you pay for the quality of speed.

I like the tires and I'm trying a different brand this season just to see how they perform since I haven't been riding others for some time.

Good tires overall, don't expect high mileage out of them.

However BTD have exceptional service with prices and warranty assistance if you need any so I keep buying my supplies from them,.

I'd give this tire a 5 for speed, but my first flat totaled the tire after only 500 miles. Clark County country roads are rough, and sticky sharp black gravel from recent road work seems to be the test. Long a fan of Gatorskins, I've tried Rubino Pro-3's and now these Michelins as an occasional experiment. The gravel sliced the sidewall and unfortunately I didn't find the cut until I noted the replacement tube starting to ooze out. Later I compared the tire, a 700-23 with an equivalent Gatorskin I had in backup and there is NO comparison. The Gatorskin has a wider protective belt and the sidewall is heavily threaded. The Michelin has a narrow belt and a flimsy sidewall. Back to the slower, but more reliable Gatorskins for my country roads.

I thought I'd wait before writing my review. When endurance is in the name of the tire, I wanted to make sure it lived up to its name. 1000 miles later, I have to say this is an AMAZING tire. I can confirm their ad copy - it does indeed have exceptional traction while cornering - even on wet pavement. I've only had (1) flat - and I most often ride in an urban environment where the roads are full of debris. Small metal shards that could have pierced most anything were the culprit. These tires are fast, light and worthy of being considered a professional racing cyclist's tire.

The review I wrote almost 2 weeks ago was never posted. Was it because of the 1 star ratings I gave these tires? Well, let me try this again because I had good reasons for the ratings I gave...

I bought these tires prior to a weeklong bike trip in upstate New York. I specifically bought them because of the supposed improved puncture resistance of the Pro4 ENDURANCE tires and what I thought at the time was a good price. I put about 300 miles on these tires before my trip and I'll admit I was very pleased with the ride quality. Unfortunately, neither tire survived the weeklong tour. The front tire suffered a beadsidewall separation, which cause a blowout (fortunately at low speed). The rear tire suffered two punctures the first was caused by a tiny piece of radial tire wire, the second puncture was caused by a small piece of glass. Both punctures were straight through the center of the tread. The gash caused by the glass was enough to make the tire unsafe to ride, so into the trash it went.

I normally get at least 4,000-5,000 miles out of my tires. I got about 700 out of these. At that rate, the tires are not anywhere near as inexpensive as the price would indicate. I just got a pair of Gatorskins to replace these Michelins.

I'm surprised by all of the good reviews for this tire. I hope my experience was just bad luck, but this was my second bad experience with Michelins and I'll never go back to them again.

Gio recommended these tires to me last month as I was scheduled to do the Seattle-to-Portland bike ride which happened this past weekend. 205 miles in two days. Needless to say with over 11,000 cyclists you tend to see a lot of people on the side of the road with flats. I ran over a lot of debris on rural roads ranging from scattered glass, metal debris, wide railroad gaps, sharp gravel and more. Not one flat and no physical damage to the tires themselves. I am really glad I purchased these tires and would recommend them.

I just put these on my Caad10 road bike and can't believe the difference compared to the stock tires my bike came with. To begin with, they are considerably more comfortable to ride, with a much more forgiving road connection. They are also fast, so far averaging a 3-5% increase in speed on my rides with these. Can't speak to their durability yet because I haven't had them on long enough, but, if they don't give me flat problems and last a reasonably long time I will definitely be buying more! I went from 23c to 25c with these tires, and even though they're slightly larger (and likely heavier) still much quicker than my old tires.

The Michelin Pro4 Endurance is my favorite tire of all time. Excellent traction and low rolling resistance, decent puncture resistance. I was lucky to get them, because Michelin has discontinued them, and the replacement, "the power", according to reviews, does not have as good puncture resistance.

I've ridden this tire for several years totaling more than 20k miles. I've gotten as much as 4K miles out of a front tire, but typically about 2.5k miles. I've found these tires to be reasonably puncture resistant - about on a par with Continental Gatorskins. They ride comfortably and corner well.

I'm now on my fourth set of the Michelin Pro4 Endurance tire model and highly recommend this tire.

I log about 140 miles of weekly road cycling and know from year-around experience that this tire lives up to its Endurance name. Its truly durable and performs well over many miles, in different conditions, and on various surfaces with proper maintenance, tube inflation, and rotation.

I ride between Los Angeles County and beach cities in Orange County, either on Pacific Coast Highway or on multiple bike paths. The surface conditions and types or volume of debris on the road and bike paths I ride varies greatly. I ride and roll over a lot of stuff that can damage or make a tire non-usable.

I keep both the front and back tire inflated to 110 PSI, which seems to help the tires shed debris better. The ride is a bit firm, but I'm okay with it. For extra flat protection, I place a tire liner (Mr. Tuffy) inside each tire. I rotate the front and back tire periodically so that I get even wear out of both tires. When a tire does get nicks, cuts, or gouges, I fill them with rubber cement to prolong use of the tire.

No tire is completely impervious to damage from surface conditions or debris. However, the Pro4 Endurance tire has been significantly less prone to damage. Among my three previous sets of this tire model, I only flatted two times. In each instance, a large nail went completely through the rear tire and tube (but didn't render the tire non-usable once a new tube was installed). I'd ridden thousands of miles over nearly a year before I got those flats. With all tires, your mileage may vary based on controllable and non-controllable variables.

I rode and recycled four sets of the Michelin Krylion carbon tire model before switching to the Michelin Pro4 Endurance tire model. The Pro4 Endurance tire is a significant improvement over the Krylion carbon tire, and Id highly recommend it as both a training and racing tire.

I'm now on my fourth set of the Michelin Pro4 Endurance tire model.

I'd previously riddenrecycled four sets of Michelin's Krylion carbon tire model. The Pro4 Endurance tire is a significant improvement over the Krylion carbon tire.

I'm 5'9, weigh 156 pounds, and log about 140 miles of weekly road cycling. I use the Pro4 Endurance 700x23 tire and know from year-around experience that this tire lives up to its Endurance name. It truly is durable and performs well over many miles, in different conditions, and on various surfaces with proper care, tube inflation, and rotation.

I generally ride south and north on Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles County through beach cities in Orange County, and on multiple bike paths that parallel flood control channels in both Los Angeles and Orange counties. The surface conditions of the road and bike baths I ride vary greatly, and the different types and volume of road and bike path debris that must be navigated varies greatly too. The list of things I've rolled over with my tires, or that have hit my tires, would be an entertaining read, but the list is too long. Simply put, I ride and roll over a lot of stuff that can damage or make a tire non-usable.

No bike tire is completely impervious to some type of damage like nicks, cuts, or gouges (heck, no car or truck tire is either) given the various types and amount of road debris that can be encountered. However, the Krylion tire was highly prone to nicks and cuts and was not a durable tire at all. Its rubber seemed to erase itself faster than I would have expected, and so performance and durability were issues with the Krylion tire. Conversely, the Pro4 Endurance tire has proven to be a much more durable tire that's less prone to nicks or cuts from hitting road debris. However, when the tire does get nicks or cuts (and it has, which I expect to happen), I fill them with rubber cement to prolong the lifeuse of the tire.

I keep both the frontback tire inflated to 110 PSI (Max PSI is 116 for the Pro4Endurance tire model), which seems to help the tire shed road debris better. The tires seem to handle fine at the 110 PSI. The ride is a bit firm, but I'm okay with it. For extra flat protection, I place a tire liner (Mr. Tuffy) inside each tire. Similar to a car or truck, I rotate the front and back tire periodically so that I get even wear out of both tires.

Among the three previous sets of the Pro4 Endurance tire model, I only flatted a total of two times. In each instance, a large nail went completely through the tire and tube (but didn't render the tire non-usable). I'd ridden thousands of miles over nearly a year before I got those flats. The Pro4 Endurance tire truly is durable.

I've gotten more t

I have put several hundred miles on these tires so far without any issues. Solid grip, no flats so far and ridden on plenty of rough surfaces and highway shoulders. Slightly heavier handling than some race tires but overall great for logging lots of miles with more than decent performance on the local descents.
