MichelinPro4 Service Course Tire(Return to Product Page)

Just a great tire I've been using many years. Tried others and end up with problems.

Great tires for race and everyday riding. I now only use the black as I've found in the past that the color sidewalls sometimes get soft and gummy, and mess up the rims.

Great tire, expect a full season from a set, the sidewalks will crack, use them as a race tire.

Michelin has great grip and rolls fast

Much better durability that Pro3

great feel and perfectly acceptable durability.

Michelin tires accelerate nicely and have great adhesion! I like them a lot. I have been noticing recently that they seem to be on sale a lot. Maybe they are getting ready to come out with a 5 series tire. Michelins seem to be a little bigger than the average 23 mm tire, and actually ride more like a 25 profile tire. We can use less tire pressure yet get a smoother, more responsive ride.

Love these tires, corner and track like none other so far except tubular tires, and no better a place to but. This online shop is one of the best I have dealt with in 36 years of Cycling. Frank Dagon

I had just under 100 miles on a new set of M-Pro 4 Service Course 700x25mm that I purchase from Bike Tires Direct on 12/11/14 and the rear tire side wall blew out on a ride today. The side wall is paper thin! The tire pressure of 100 psi was in accordance with the manufacture. Either the tire is defective or Michelin's quality has gone downhill. I've used Michelin in the past and never sidewall flatted.

I tried this tire after using Continental's tires. I saw two nicks in the tread very quickly and it does not inspire any confidence in a tire that has any longevity. It was worth a try, but for the price, I am not impressed. BikeTiresDirect has a whole host of tires, so I will stick with ones I like and trust. I know people use these and love them, but I am not a fan.

Pro 4 Service Course tires handle great yet are rugged enough that I have actually worn out them without ever getting a flat. In Tucson, AZ with all the thorns and debris on the road, that's quite remarkable.

Like most Michelin tires for some time now, they have good rolling feel, very good handling, but suffer too easily from punctures. At their price and in their respective category they are typically a good tire, but there are far better out there.

I've used the different series of the Michelin Pro for 9 years. The feel is great, it's a lightweight soft tire, corners well. However, I have had 5 flats this year on Michelin Pro4's, and am only getting about 2,500 miles on the rear wheel. I only weigh 165. Great tire, I'll buy more.

I really like the tire and give it good rates but if you are a clydsdale like me I would stay away. I started using these at the start of the season and with about 2,000 miles on them already seeing heavy wear and dealing with flats on the back.

I started rotating between the front and back to try and make them last longer and this has helped but I am now dealing with flatting issue on the back.

These just do not handle weight well and start wearing quickly if you are a clydsdale

Otherwise yes these are great tires, they handle and hold the road well.

I am riding city roads in Dallas which are the best but had tires last longer.

Active rider in the California wine country the rides are from 40 to 60 miles. The performance of the tires are smooth and comfortable. I have not noticed any slips. On the negative side of the tires. The areas I ride are mainly in the wine country and recently I have had flat tires? The reason for the flats are from thorns. While in the city areas I have not experienced any flats. I inflate my tires to 120 psi.

Currently running the 23s on lightweight, time trial wheels, and 25s on year-round, road racetraining wheels. (The 25s are really about 28 wide.) Outstanding, supple, durable tires. Have run the Michelin Pro Service Course tires going back to the Pro2, Pro3, and now Pro4. Have not experienced a failure or even a (the f-word which must never be uttered.) I'm careful, also lucky. The 25s (actually 28s) are wonderfully comfortable over rough roads and seem to be fast and have low rolling resistance. I only perceive that the 23s might be faster for time trials, perhaps by next year I'll succumb to the current trend and switch over to the 25s for everything.

I ride road courses in Northern CA. Was riding Gatorskins before. These seem to make the bike more agile. I also like the wide range of color choices.

A great tire. I only use the Michelin PRO tires on both my bike and my wifes bike, and a great deal when BikeTiresDirect has them on sale or daily special. I used my Pro3's Race for three years with no flats. They ride really comfortable, and deal with both rain and dry roads really well. I have descended down some mountain passes in the rain and the tires held the line through the corners and never slipped. They seem fairly light and insubstantial when I first tried them, but quickly became my favorite tire. My wife has about 1500km on her Pro4's and hasn't had any issues so far. I put over 3000km on my Pro3 Race before needing replacement.

I ride a lot of heavily traveled road shoulders. People have a penchant for trashing the shoulders and glass and other hazardous items are common. The Michelin Pro 4 Service Course Tire provides great value and strength and, most importantly, I've experienced fewer flats.

I do like these tires, but may change to the Pro4 Endurance. They ride beautifully and have tons of grip. I am running 25mm both front and rear, but they actually measure closer to 28mm on some wide rims...so watch for tight frames. I also have a 23mm that measures closer to a 25. So I love the wider tires and the lower pressures for a great ride, but have had a few rear flats. All of them caused by bits of wire getting stuck in the soft tread. I also notice some deep cuts and gashes forming around the tire. So I would not specify they as a high mileage daily rider...but I still enjoy them anyway.
