MichelinPro4 Service Course Tire(Return to Product Page)

What can I say, have been using these for the last 4-5 years .. no complaints whatsoever, snow, sun, rain and, yes, even black ice.

I have been using Vredestein clinchers and Continental tubulars exclusively for years. For the last 6-7 years, for clinchers, its been 700x25 Vredesteins! I loved them but they seem to have changed their rubber compound. I ordered these pro 4s in 700x25. They definitely are bigger than the Vredesteins so much so that the rear tire was rubbing on the break arch at the top of the stay. The tires are great though! Once I took time to position my wheel as far back as humanly possible in the dropout, I got it to fit. Thy wear well, grip great dry or wet and feel almost like a tubular! On rougher western New York roads, they do make a bit of noise. I have about 650 miles on them so far and they dont have a mark in them!

Been using these Pro4 Service Course for about 6 months now and these tires are bomb proof!! "No FLATS" as of yet, I use these tires for training, group rides and they ride smooth, very good control over bumps! I've been using Gator Skins all this time and gave this a shot since it was on Sale and I am not at all disappointed at all! I will be buying more when these tires are on sale. I've already bought 2 more sets from bike tires direct already like the fast shipping!

Have always liked these tires for the type of tires they are. Low resistance and light. They are just a bit more susceptible to flats. Conti's get less flats but are a stiffer ride.

I have been riding the Michelin Pro 4's for years. In my mind they are the best value for the dollar out there. They hold up well and handle great. I have another set of wheels with the Pro 4 Endurance I use on longer rides. Rode across the country on a set several years ago and they did not let me down.

This is the second set of Michelin Pro4 tires for me. I got about 3500 miles out of the first set (endurance) model with no flats. The service course model has the same road feel. Very smooth gripping in all conditions. I have about 1000 miles on this set without a flat.

Light weight, Very easy to mount and dismount on rim brake wheelsets, Great rolling resistance, Used this tire for my training rides and didn't have any "issues", Lots of cuts on the sidewall of the tire but "No Flats"!? I like to ride my road bikes a lot almost everyday! Weather here all year round is great for riding!

Rear tire lasted 2600 miles and through the winter & spring grit season. I never got a flat, I just noticed a spot where the rubber was gone and the thread was showing. It could have been from a skid but I don't remember ever locking up the wheel I've really never been able to notice any difference on grip or ride quality of any of the tires I've used over the last 30 years of 5,000 miles of riding I do a year. Can't even say I noticed anything when I went to 25mm from 22mm. Miles per tire are about the only way I can judge really a tire. I've used them all Armadillo, Gaterback, hard shell, just about all of them. These tires lasted as long as any tire I've ever used. This is my second pair, I'm very pleased with them.

These tires perform very well. I have ridden 1500 plus mikes on these tires and they still handle corners and smooth services very well

Very grippy tire. A little softer so wears quicker, but there's always a trade off. I don't use any other tire

Love these tires. I have been riding Michelin Pro Comps for many years and they continiously perform exceptionally well. They provide a smooth ride, great control through the corners and thave the protection of kevlar to resist punctures.

Nice light tire with a grippie tread. However durability is an issue on rough roads with any gravel or rocks. The sidewalls just cant take it. The most I got out of two sets of these tires is 2250 KM.

I have these on my daily commuter bike and they handle great in all weather conditions.

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!

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.

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 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.
