Picks up everything on the road

I bought these tires 3 weeks ago and have had 3 flats. Everything sticks to them- It's as if they're made of glue. They hug the road and ride like a dream but I've been riding for decades and never had this many flats with a set of tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable and Grippy

I ride a lot of chip seal as well as come across gravel roads and gravel debris and I've been surprised at how well these tires have held up. I went with the 25s and run 80psi in front and 90 in the back (165lbs). They're grippy, comfortable and so far, I've been able to load up the miles with confidence..

Last season, I was disappointed with the Conti Grand Prix's I purchased (I tore them open in short order) so this year, I went with these along with the $5 Road Hazard. Knock on wood - I'm sticking with this set up.

Thank you for your feedback.

The Best Tire &40for Some People&41

Anyone who knows much about tires is aware of the fact that one can't have it all. Individual riders have to make choices about what characteristics they most value and which are less important. If, like me, you value traction and ride quality over longevity and puncture resistance, this may well be the tire for you. I definitely get more rear flats with this when compared to the GP4000sii. I'm willing to take that trade, as the ride is far superior to the Conti. I do a lot of VERY steep climbing and VERY fast descending on very smooth, clean roads. For me, this is the best tire for these purposes. I do sometimes run this tire up front and the Endurance version on the rear. It still feels nicer than the Conti and resists flats compared to the Service Course. I ran the GP for many years, switched to this for a couple years, and just recently tried the Schwalbe One and GP4000sii again to remind myself why I left it. I'm back to the Pro4sc in a 25mm (which is 28 on my slightly wide rims.) I also think it's one of the best looking tires out there, as it's very subtle. I hate the tread on the GP4000, which, in my opinion, serves only to collect dirt.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent all round tire

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tire for racing and training.

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

Great tires

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best yet, really such a difference in 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

M-Pro 4 Service Course sidewall flatted under 100 miles

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best training tire ever.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Typical Michelin Tire!

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent Ride, but wears quickly.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Not the best for a clydsdale

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

The tires hugged the road very well with no slips and with a smooth ride.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires ... are wider than listed

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.

Thank you for your feedback.
