Love the tires. Low rolling resistence and they ride smooth as well.

Use these as everyday riding tires and could not be happier. If there is a down side I've had one flat so maybe the puncture resistance of the carcass is a bit weak, but for how light the tires are it's to be expected in my opinion.

Thank you for your feedback.

Michelin knows how to make a bike tire

I was using Vittoria Open Corsa CX III Clincher Tires that were fast but did not hold up well, every time I hit a small rock or anything it seemed like they cut and had many flats. Went through two sets of these tires very fast. Went to Michelin Pro4 Course tire a few months ago maybe have 400 miles on them no cuts or flats and they roll very nice. Happy so far, go Michelin...

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire and feel

I've put a few hundred miles on these this so far and I am very happy with the road feel and traction I have since I ride a lot of varying terrain (averaging 40 mi) and like the added confidence these provide on the descents. Overall mileage unknown but a great value so far.

Thank you for your feedback.

I love the Michelin Pro Series of tires. The Pro 4 tires are the best yet. I wouldn't ride any other tire.

I am a recreational, endurance road cyclist. I log between 100 and 200 miles per week on my bike. I find that the Michelin Pro Series tires wear well and hold up to the punishment of our North Carolina back country roads. They also look sharp on my bike!

Thank you for your feedback.

Supple tire with great grip

Bought a pair of the pro 4 tires for training in some seriously steep hills in order to be ready for a gran Fondo involving over 16,000 vertical feet of climbing. These tires have given me a great deal of confidence on the descents and cornering at high speed. They have a very supple ride at full pressure. As for mileage I can't say as I only have about 500 miles on the pair. So far so good. No flats and they seem to be wearing it a reasonable rate. I'll be using them for the gran Fondo for sure.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires overall, but limited durability

I use these tires for both everyday training and racing. They are excellent race tires - they seem to roll as fast as any other clincher I've used before and they are plenty light. As training tires I give them a lower rating. They are not as durable as other race level clincher tires I've used, specifically Continental 4000 and Vittoria. I have had sidewall cuts in two of them this season alone, forcing me to throw out both tires long before tread life required it (once in a race, once training). Overall, I love the tires and I am willing to risk their longevity in order to have them on my bike for all occasions.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Balance of Speed, Wear, and Cost

The Michelin Pro4 Service Course tires offer a good balance between speed, tire wear, and cost.

Light, fast and stable, pretty durable!

Rode a set of Michelin Pro 3's to the threads last season and never a flat. The Pro 4's seem even better. Good grip on wet roads and pretty durable, lots of goatheads and road debris around here and have been pretty satisfied so far, knock on wood.

Thank you for your feedback.

My go to tire

Great tires. I have tried them all. They beat out Vittorio, Vredestein, Continental and even Bontrager for wear, weight and most especially for flat protection. The rough mountain roads I ride are full of glass, rocks and destroyed car parts and I average one flat every six months or so. No other tire can compete!

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Training Tires

I bought these after wearing through a set of Lithions. Seem to be very grippy and provide a nice smooth ride. White-wall tires on my white rims look really good as a bonus.

Thank you for your feedback.

So far very impressive on a Felt F3

I moved to these tires from a set of Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Slicks that I had worn down to the cords. My only complaint is that they are far more difficult to mount than the Vittorias. I had to resort to levers to get the second bead over the rim after dropping the tube in. After only one ride the difference is remarkable! The bike turns in much more sharply and the ride is much less harsh (we're on concrete out here). If the wear life is as long as the Vittorias they replaced then I'll be a convert!

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent Tire

Excellent light weight performance tire. The rear will last 1200-1500 mi. Grip is good and casing is supple. Large range of inflation pressure so performance can be tailored to meet use. I've used every major brand out there but this tire has a balance of characteristics that make it a great all around performer. As usual price is high but performance is also high.

Thank you for your feedback.

Riding Michelin for years and will continue to do so.

I have been using some form of Michelin Pro tires for almost 10 years. These tires are fast and grip well. I've barreled down the local 7% grade mountain at 60 mph and have never felt uncomfortable. The wear is about what I would expect from a tire like this in the conditions I ride in (hot dry desert). With summertime temp is the 110 range, these do dry up and start to crack.

The downside is these tires are not thorn or glass resistant. After about 180 miles, I hit some glass and it left a decent sized cut in the tread. I super-glued it down and glued a patch inside and will ride them for another few thousand miles just like the last time this happened.

Conclusion These are great tires for race day but not the best for everyday training. If you train on them you should be prepared to be upset when you trash an expensive tire, it will happen sooner or later.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tires

Bought two pairs-one for my bike and one for my wife's bike. Tires roll smooth, corner well and seem tougher than nails. A great value.

Every bit as good as the now retired Pro3's

Replaced well worn Pro3's (down to the threads on the rear) and took the new 4's for a 600 mile jaunt between Nice, FR and Lucca, IT which took in most every darn mountain along the way, plus the climbs and descents in and out of the Cinque Terre villages. To me they felt and handled every bit the same as the Pro3's I have been using for a decade or so. I always considered them the very best when my neck was on the line and so i now do the Pro4's. No flats along the way!
