MichelinProtek 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

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.

Holds up to everyday use. 22miles per day

These are smooth,Comfortable rolling tires that add a comfort level that will amaze your bike.Pretty fast Tires and Durable protection.Reflective sidewalls are Bright at night.Tire fits the size without a strain to mount.I sell a lot of used,nice hi-end HybridsCity bikes and are my go-to replacements.They do everything well.

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.

It was good to find a tire that is pliable and durable

Love Michelin tires but the Protek didn't meet my expectations for this quality manufacturer. Bought a set of 700cX28mm for Winter road riding for the gravel bike. One is still going strong at 1800 miles, the other blew out the sidewall after about 1500 miles while on a local century ride. Had some difficulties getting the tires to mount and seat on tubeless rims using tubes as well.

Got a set of these for $XXX each on the daily special, an unbelievable steal. I'm riding the 40mm 7 days a week for about 6 months now. I can' say enough good about these tires except I'd replace them again at full price in a heartbeat. I like to over inflate all my tires, rock hard. They roll great and track really good on turns, and off road. They mount easy, and have lived through a brutally hot summer here in S.C. on chip-seal roads well over 100 degrees carrying 230 pound loads with ease. These could be the best tires I have EVER rode staying in the moderately priced tire range. I weigh about 175 and carry tools and groceries regularly. I can't believe these got ANY negative reviews, take those with a grain of salt. Or did I get the best set ever made?

I enjoyed these tires for about 1,000mi with no issues.

Afterwards, I started experiencing issues with gunshot flats, just a sudden loud pop. It happened no matter what kind of tubes I installed. While I never quite found the issue causing this, I noticed the stitching by the wire bead coming loose, and I saw my tube protruding from the tire. I had to get rid of the tires. There is a chance that the wire bead became exposed.

This may have been a fluke, otherwise I would be giving it much lower ratings. I still trust Michelin, so don't rule this tire out if you're on a budget. Otherwise, maybe go for the higher end models of this tire.

I purchased these tires for my workers that utilize only a bike for transportation. They a very reliable and the reflection adds another safety feature.

Measured with digital calipers. I have been using Michelin City Tires for a few years. Great tires.

Cheaply made requested to returned and

no one helped. Would not recommend the tire. Very disappointed. Please do better for your customer in the future.

Have ridden daily since receiving tires. These tires have performed superbly,and immensely increased my cycling enjoyment

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?

I have ridden over 24,000 miles; mostly in Colorado, Tennessee, and Kentucky. I have used a number of different tires along the way. These tires perform as well or better than any I have used. The reflective strip is a nice touch that really "lights up" in a car's headlights and makes me feel a bit safer.

I've been riding a pair of these for about 6 months 5 days a week and I have only good things to say. Good traction in wet or dry, with no flats so far, even with with post storm junk all over the road. I switched to Michelin after another brand gave me sidewall failures. I couldn't be happier.

The 40 mm wide tire is actually 46 mm. I measured this several times with my calipers. My touring frame can handle up to 42 mm and the product description says that larger sizes are 2 mm wider, so I figured that I would be safe with the 40 mm. At 75 PSI the tire is just begins to rub on my frame. Once again, this is what I get for going cheap.

The tires arrived on time and they fit well. This is my first set of puncture resistance tires. I'm looking forward to many flat free miles

Great tires , great grip , handle well on multiple surfaces

Great tire, great price, Bike Tires Direct always performs.
