MichelinProtek 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

Great wear, last in the 1000's of miles. I prefer the cross model for gravel trails.

This tire is excellent on road or even a little bit of gravel if you so desire. Flats are almost non- existing with the thick tread. In the wetter conditions it can slip a little when pushed but it would have to be very wet. The reflective sidewall is a definite ?? plus for night riders or pre-dawn patrols.

Michelin tires never get the love they deserve from the bicycle Illuminati. They are rugged and give the consumer unrivaled bang- for-the-buck. I use the nominal 35mm which actually plumps out to 37mm.

The swear jar is bloody full . dust bin special tire!!!!. a flat a mile then it wont come off. Me wife says you've got enough in my swear jar to get a quite nice set of tires it something i wont do again.

Three years ago I went small to 700-35 Kenda Kwest and wore them out with my 240 pounds on coarse,HOT pavement here in Southwest Florida.Was not the tire's fault,but I switched to the Michelin Protek because they were on sale and I wanted reflective stripe for night riding.I went bigger with 700-40 and had to trim my rack for clearance but what a difference.Ride is great and rolling resistance was noticeably reduced.Next time I might try the Protek cross max for more tread.One of the new tubes was defective and Bike Tires Direct sent me another one right away with no hassle.After 200 miles I am still very happy with the product and the service from Bike Tires Direct..Happy riding.

Very nice riding tire, can't beat the price.

I use these tires to commute to work on bike trails and city streets so far so good 200 miles thus far.

I weigh 245 plus gear these tires are seeing 260 went with 38 and 40mm widths since I was breaking spokes even with HD rim.

No broken spokes now.

Handle well on ice patches and shed road dirt well

I ride mostly on the road but go off the road occasionally. The tires improved the quality of my bike, although it is not a very expensive one.

These tires are smooth riding but maybe not the lowest rolling resistance. Overall they are good budget tires and no regrets buying them.

I replaced the 700x32 stock tires on my Giant Escape with these Michelin Protek 700x38. I went with wider for better comfort. I only put about 100 miles or so on them and the grip and roll resistance is really good. Install was a breeze. I think its a great deal for under $20 each. I ride recreationally 3-4 times a week on paved road.

Nice tires - ride smoothly. Extra tread will reduce flats from debris on urban roads. These were heftier than the original road tires so required a bit of maneuvering to install - had to deflate then inflate once mounted on bike but they did fit.

1. My wife says rolls easier, less pedaling effort, not out of breath anymore, than original Kenda tires. 2. Sturdily built, was easy to install. 3. Very reflective circular stripes. All tires should have this safety feature! 4. Bought Michelin Protec Max tubes also, noticably thicker than original tubes. Overall a great combo. Tires actual measure 38mm (inflated).

Nice and smooth ride

Nice and smooth ride

I needed a cheap set of tires and these fit the bill. They tend to feel soft and the tread is not very deep so these probably won't be the best if you do a lot of miles or skids. Overall, a pretty good tire for the price.

This tire is a great street tire and I like the reflective strip on the side walls, we all need to be seen on the road.

I put these on our tandem replacing 28mm tires that we've used for years. I was a little skeptical of the 35mm but as it turns out they ride and roll better on our roads than my previous slick road tires. The 35mm works a little better on some of our chip & seal roads. They also work well on crushed stone trails.

I used this on gravel bike for road during storm season. Worked well, but reduced grip when wet.

I ride about 75 miles per week, nothing major, but enough to enjoy how these tires roll. Between the two bikes, this is my fifth Michelin pro tech tire purchase. I have never had an issue and will continue to purchase. I typically replace these tires every 2 to 3 years. Bike tires direct customer service is great and I've always had positive experiences buying online and picking up at the Portland location.

I have a Trek 1000c with factory bontrager wheels. It calls for 28mm tires. These are 28mm tires. Guess what? They don't fit in the front. When I wrote to explain the problem BTD told me they can't control the width of my rims. With 75psi they measure an actual 31mm with my digital calipers. I'll run them in the back and something else up front. Suggestions?
