Overall very satisfied, I ride amost exclusively on Michelin Tires and have never had major issues.

Have just started riding with this tire and so far everything is fine. I have not ridden yet on slippery roades so don't know how they handle on wet roads but on dry roads so far everything is great.

Thank you for your feedback.

Decent Ride

I replaced my Pro3s at 2k mi with the Pro4s. I went from a 25cm to 23cm and expected the ride to get stiffer. It didn't! It's hard to state that these 'ride smooth' when referring to a skinny tire running 95 PSI, but they do.

Thank you for your feedback.

love these tires

I've been riding the Michelin's for several iterations, from the 2 at least, maybe earlier. Since I ride a French bike, I figure I should ride French tires, but that's not the only reason I ride them. They seem to last and I've not had a lot of cuts over the years that have essentially ruined tires before wearing them out. I don't know if that's luck or quality construction, but either way I'm happy with them. The downside? They can be expensive, so I look for value, such as those offered by BTD.

Thank you for your feedback.

The Pro4 is a durable, light, fast tire.

I rode 1200 hard miles on a set of these this past summer. I had two flats-one caused by a small nail and the second was a shard of glass that regrettably ruined the rear tire. Without the road damage I am convinced that the tire would have lasted another 1,200 miles. I replaced the rear tire with a new Pro4 and rode Cycle Oregon (450 miles) in September. I really like these tires! They handle very well, are tough and quite light. I have run Continental Grand Prix 4000's in the past and I am convinced that the Michelins handle as well, have fewer issues and last longer. I highly recommend them.

Thank you for your feedback.

over 100,000 miles on Michelin tires, and never a failure.

I road bike 800-1000 miles a month and feel that these tires are as good as they get. Here in San Luis Obispo county there are some good roads and some bad road, but the wear is quite good for what I am using.

Thank you for your feedback.

These tires are FAR OUT

Get lots of compliments on the white walls..have ridden close to 1,000 miles with no flats, and no cuts. A little hard to get on the rim but soap helps.

Thank you for your feedback.

This is my first experience with Pro4 tires after about 25.000 miles on Pro3's -So far they look better

I ride 30 miles per day, five days per week, mostly on flat ground. I have been getting 4000 miles on Pro3's on fairly smooth streets and It looks like the Pro4's have better rubber.

Thank you for your feedback.

I have ridden these tires all year and love them.. Great feel and reliable.. An example so spending a bit more actually being economical.

Definitely worth the extra cost. Reliable, performance tire.

Excellent performing tire in all categories!

Very quiet, fast and great cornering. Easy to mount and remove.

I ride a lot of miles, but very clean roads, therefore zero flats so far.

Nice quick, comfortable ride, highly recommended.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great shape and grip, questionable construction integrity

I purchased these tires and have about 600 miles on them now. They're more confidence inspiring than the Conti 4000 (pre black chili compound), reminds me of the bontrager race x lite tires I liked a lot, but with much better puncture resistance.

Overall wear seems reasonable, but there does seem to be cracking between sidewalls and contact patch, particularly on the front tire. Ride quality does not seem affected but I will have to keep a close on if the cracking is superficial or structural.

Thank you for your feedback.

A definite upgrad over the Pro Race 3 in all categories, especially durability.

A fast training tire, easy to install, with similar performance, but increased wear resistance to the Pro Race 3 (it's predecessor).

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tire

I loved the ProRace3 tires even with their limited service life at my 178 pounds. They were fast and comfortable and grippy in the dry or the wet.

I bought a set of the Pro4s as soon as they came out. They are as just fast, comfortable and grippy as the 3's but with noticeably greater wear life. I am now on the second set of Pro4s for my older bike and have just put a pair on my newer bike.

As a user of the ProRace series for years I can say that, with the increased wear life of the Pro4s, Michelin has created a real winner.

Thank you for your feedback.

very good upgrade to the Pro3 Race

I've been using the pro3 race tires with Easton EA90 wheels for several years in the Seattle area. I liked the Pro3's and looked to replace them with the same tire. The Pro4 tire is at least as good. I can't compare completely because I changed to a set of HED Ardennes at the same time. I am very happy with this combination, great traction, handling and the wider rim smoothes out the rough stuff. Part of my regular ride is over a stretch known on Strava as the Worst Stretch of road in Seattle and this combination is more than up to the task. Haven't used them in the rain yet but I know the Pro3's did well in the rain so these should be fine. Even road the Pro3's in the rain on the Mt Baker Hillclimb (up and down) with no problems.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice new model!

I've been using the Pro 3's for a few years now, mainly because the light blue color matches the writing outline color on my Cannondale road bike, but also they were recommended by my LBS. Time for a new set and was having a hard time getting the 3's then found out they were discontinued and this new model was available. I decided to give Bike Tires Direct a try and was extremely happy with the pricing, shipping and bonus points. The road hazard warranty is a nice offer too, I took it for peace of mind. So far very happy with the new model of Michelin tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

GREAT TIRE WITH COMFORT AND SPEED

Replaced conti GP4000s tires with the Michelin Pro4's (used conti's for 2 full seasons... I had a couple of cuts in the conti's that they were not willing to help me with...one of the small cuts came on a tire that had 300miles on it) - I am glad I made the switch! These tires are supple but also fast. Bottom line is I can say they are as fast as Conti GP4000s but really made my ride more comfortable. I feel more secure in fast corners with the Pro4's too

Thank you for your feedback.

Very good tire

These tires came on my new tri bike. I have 1500 all-weather miles (including 3 triathlons), and (knock wood) no issues.

Overall, a very good performer.

Fast and Comfortable

These tires are astoundingly fast and comfortable even at 110 psi. and much better than the pro 3's, my old tires. They're very difficult to mount on Fulcrum Racing 1 rims. However, if they're mounted, ridden for about 50 miles, then removed and remounted they loosen up a bit. Longevity was a negative for the Pro 3's and I hope these last longer.
