Description The Toughest Tire In the Pro4 Lineup
The Michelin Pro4 Endurance Tire offers the ultimate combination of performance and durability. Taking over for the storied Krylion model, the Pro4 endurance has a lively ride quality and lightweight construction for superior performance on race day, along with the wear resistance and puncture protection of a hearty training tire.
The Endurance features a dual-compound tread with softer shoulders for incredible cornering grip even in wet weather as well as a longer wearing center strip. Bead-to-bead puncture protection directly beneath the rubber wards off flats. Rounding out the package is a 110 TPI casing that further combines supple ride quality with flat resistance.
Michelin understands that you don't just want a tire that reduces flats. You also need it to go fast. While the advanced protection brings with it a smidgeon more weight compared to the Pro4 Service Course, these tires are still light enough for the climbs. Michelin's BiCompound adds to the speed with a more rigid center for high durability, low rolling resistance, and just the right grip for stable braking on dry and wet roads. At the shoulder, a slightly stickier rubber provides extra grip for sweeping through corners, wet or dry.

Bead to bead puncture resistance for base mile durability

I have been using these tires on my road bike for over 4 years and they are the best for avoiding flats.

They originally came in 700 X 23 with red sidewall. I bought them because they made my bike look good. When the red sidewall was no longer offered in my size, I had to go to black. But despite the cosmetic disappoint, they are best tire I have ever used and allow me to ride without being constantly concerned with flats. The tire bead is really tight, and I have a hard time getting the tire off and on with arthritic hands. I carry Park tire irons, and I do mean irons, with me when I ride by myself to insure that I can change the tire if needed by myself. Have never needed them since I got the irons. These are the best tires, and I can count on them to go at least 1,000 miles before they start to look ratty.

I installed a set of Pro 4's on my Synapse to improve the comfort of the ride. They provided me with good grip, and a more forgiving ride, as they seem to absorb the road cracks.

Good tire
2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.
I'm still very early into my usage of these tires and have not owned them before. Initially they feel very grippy given the lack of any tread pattern. They even picked up every spec of dust and hair on my garage floor on my way out for the first ride. I bought them for the reported combination of puncture resistance and low rolling resistance. I hadn't noticed them to roll any faster than my old gatorskins yet, but this could be my fault, as I think I need to run them a bit higher PSI. Got a good deal and quick delivery from Western. Very pleased with them.

Good ride, but multiple desalinations
by Roadwarrior

These are decent tires for road riding and training. The treadmill wear is pretty good. However, if you get tires with colored sidewalls, Grey in my case, be warned that the tread may separate at the Junction of the colored sidewall, and peel loose. I've experienced this on multiple of these tires.

I have been riding on Pro 4 Endurance tires for at least the last 7 or 8 years. I weigh about 185 lbs yet have been able to get at least 2,500 to 3,000 miles on these tires and often a bit more. I ride about 2,500 to 3,000 miles per season and usually put a new set of tires on each year or so. I ride almost exclusively on paved roads and have had maybe 2 or 3 flats of flats over that time period of 7 to 8 years. The tires perform very well and are solid in the corners.

Bad Tear on their Maiden Voyage
by Eric

2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.
I was really looking forward to riding these, especially since I had a great experience with the tires these replaced (Lithium 2's). However, the rear tire popped (no puncture, the tube was intact) and had a rip or tear just shy of the bead, when though I took care not to overinflate them. A real shame.

Very good tire for the money
by Anonymous

I changed to this tire from a pair of Schwalbes. They give me a more supple ride. I immediately noticed a big difference when it comes to road cracks. The Schwalbes give a harsh ride, but they probably last longer! I have gotten good wear out of the Michelin pro 3's, so I think the 4's should be the same.

I have been riding Michelin Pro tires for years. I was mostly dissatisfied until I put these on my bike. I like other brands but the price to performance is a sweet spot.

These tires provide a great balance between the performance of a racing tire and the durability/puncture protection of a training tire.

Nice wintertraining tire that doesn't feel sluggish

I used the 25mm version on wider rims (Pacenti SL25, internal width 20mm) on a disc road bike for commute, and had great results. This seems to have the smoothest rolling among other wintertraining tires I've used so far Continental GP 4 seasons, Vitorria Rubino Pro G, Specialized Roubaix Pro.

As expected - solid tire.
Solid, affordable tire. Using it for my commuter bike. They're still new-ish, but have given me no reason to doubt their durability or traction. They aren't the fastest or with the least rolling resistance, but that's not the niche they're designed to fill. Would buy again without hesitation.

Wider rims, wider actual width.
by PDX Mike

I put these on as a replacement for Gatorskins. I bought a 25 for the front and a 28 for the rear (lower pressure, more cushioning, etc.). They seem to roll pretty well and I've had no flats and minimal wear over a few hundred miles. I run them on Velocity A23 rims. The front tire, a nominal 25, measures at 28mm with about 90 psi. However, the rear, a nominal 28, measures at 29 at 90 psi. I'm not sure why the 25 runs at almost the same width on the same rim as the 28. So, if you're thinking of buying some as they close out this model, you might want to take that into consideration.

Great rolling tire, but cuts too easily.
by El Pato

I've ridden a few of these Michelin's and was initially very satisfied with them. Road feel is great, traction is excellent, but then there's the durability issue.
Given that the rubber is soft these tires started getting road cuts the first day I road them. Granted there is much debris on the roads, but this is the first tire that cuts so dang easily. The sidewalls are also so soft that it started to bulge out and very unsafe.
I've stopped buying these tires. So have my other riding buddies. I understand know why they're always on salem
