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!

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!

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.

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.

Michelin has great grip and rolls fast
Review by rhjohnstone
Have been riding Pros for years (Pro 3 & 4)
Big fan (as the summary statement says!)
Always get good life, very few flats, reliable grip.
What's not to like
Just wish they still made the colored version?
Highly recommended (especially at the BTD prices!!
Review by Ken
These have been my goto road tire since the Krylion Carbon vanished - good profile & great value... enough rubber that by the time it's gone the side walls are starting to go. When I get the alert that they are on discount I always buy two for backup.

Nothing I don't like. Absorbs bumps well, smooth, fast, have only ridden in dry conditions, but seem to have good traction. The 700x25c measures 700x27c on Bontrager SSR rims, but enough clearance on the frame's brake arch that it is OK. Like that they are a little wider, running lower pressure than the old 25's I had on there (weren't Michelin). Very pleased with them. Haven't found any drawbacks.
Review by Ron
These tires perform very well. I have ridden 1500 plus mikes on these tires and they still handle corners and smooth services very well
Review by Ross
Very grippy tire. A little softer so wears quicker, but there's always a trade off. I don't use any other tire
Review by tri4jac
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.

Rode these tires on asphalt road with less than 600 miles and both have 0.25-0.5 inch splits. Outer rubber coating is falling apart. They are comfortable with good rolling properties but will not last long.
Review by rhjohnstone
Have been running Pro Michelins for years, including both the 3 & 4.
My go to tires.
I like 23's, and am not a small fellow (6'1", 190lbs so tend to pump them to 115-120.
Most reliable tire I've ever owned.
Loved the colored version (esp. dark blue,) which now seems unavailable?
Is the tire still available, or has it been replaced - feel like I'm buying up the last tires on BTD?

I know there are other good tires but Michelin has always been my goto brand. These tires are no exception
