I'm a weekend rider on reasonable roads, and these tyres do exactly what I need them to do. No punctures in a year, and they feel fine
Review by PNW Rider.
Nice tires that hold up well. Good quality and price.
Review by Ventura Saddle tramp
Great tires, not really high mileage but great handling and fairly flat resistant if properly inflated. I am 250 pounds and inflate to 109 psi. They run a little wide, my 25s were actually 27s. Great product overall.

Tires hold well in turns and little rolling resistance, never had any problems with them.
Review by Debbie
I use these tires on my training wheels. They are my second set after wearing out the first with mileage. The tires are a great value, hold up well, and ride nicely, too. My only complaint would be that it seems that I have gotten more flats than with the previous tires I had (Schwalbe), but that might also just be coincidence.

Tire tread started to separate on a recent ride. Maybe 1K miles total use. Local shop said 2nd they had seen recently.

I am on my third set of these tires love them they are a good deal for the price usually get around five to six thousand miles out of them. I have only ever had one puncture in it was because the tire was bad in the first place.
Review by SteveB.
I've used Michelin Pro tires almost exclusively since I got a new bike in 2000 (almost 18 years!). I've watched the tire progress from the original Pro iteration, which was very good, to the Pro2, Pro3, and Pro4. Each generation has gotten a little better. I find the Pro4's to be a great all around tire for cornering, handling, traction, and long-distance rides. They are supple and comfortable to ride on for hours on end (6-8 hours is not unusual for me). Competing tires may get higher mileage, but I've been very happy with 2500-3000 miles on these tires (I rotate my tires - when the back wears out, I move the front tire to the rear and install a new one on the front wheel). I never pay full price for these tires. Typical sale prices run from $35tire to as low as about $25tire. When I find a good price I just stock up on a set or two. Overall, that makes these tires a great value.

I've been using Pro3 then Pro4 Service Course tires exclusively, on my primary road bike for about 5 years now. I weigh about 180 lbs and ride approx. 500-600 miles per month. I like them because they wear well, about 2000 miles rear and 4000 miles front and seem to be very puncture resistant. Also they go on the wheels easily and seem to have good traction on corners or in the rain.

I always get Michelin Pro and find Bike Tires Direct prices to be cost competitive, even with our local bicycle store where I get a 15% discount as a member of our neighborhood cycling club, the CycleMasters of SaddleBrooke.

I am on my 3rd set of these tires, never had problems with puncture flats or any other problems to speak of. Great tire, balence well, and will buy again.
Review by Ventura Saddle tramp
Great tire, but they wear rather fast. I weigh 250 and run them at 109 psi. I got about 1700 miles on my back tire, bit more on the front. Still I love these tires, just got my second set. Very few flats over all. My rides are usually 35 - 55 miles occasionally further, fairly comfortable ride
Review by Jim Kangas
Been buying Michelins for a long time. I was very disappointed in the Power model - really hard to install (tight) and got flats right off the bat. So -- back to Pro 4 for now. Thanks to BTD the price is reasonable.

I have used this tire for several years. It rolls and grips well and I am generally satisfied i bought them (green) originally to match my bike colors, but have stayed with them. My only complaint (and several others have had the same) is that the weak point is the sidewall. The tires seem to survive through a normal amount of wear, but I have had several sidewall fails that seemed inexplicable under the circumstances. Its been a year or two since I have had such an issue and possibly Michelin has addressed the problem.
Review by Rick@OCRR
I used Michelin tires several years ago and was not impressed so switched to Continental. However, several riding friends told me that Michelin tires had improved dramatically so I decided to give them another try when they were on a 50% of sale at Bike Tires Direct. So far I have been very positively impressed with the performance of the Michelin tires. Very make, easy to mount (used with tubes) and so far no punctures which was the problem I had several years ago when running Michelins. Excellent quality and road performance, great cornering grip, no complaints at all.
Review by Kevin
I ride quality miles not quantity , ether pace lines hills or descending even a 65 race when offered .
Not a hard , heavy high mileage tire , but predictable in keeping contact with the pavement wet or dry .
No trouble removing if done properly - start removing first at the stem & ending installing at the stem ....

Almost as good as the Conti 4000! You can get these for a little less money. Speed is Great, durability is Good, traction is Good.
Review by TriSam
I have been using this tire for many years and so far I haven't had a reason to go away from them. The are durable and handle well. For what it's worth, I've been training for and competing in triathlon for over 20 years.
