Description Enter the 4th dimension with the Pro4 Service Course
Michelin's Pro 4 Service Course 700c Road Tire is a race-ready tire which beautifully balances speed with durability, using a supple 110 TPI casing and a completely redesigned tread. Knowing not to mess with a good thing, Michelin shifted their redesign focus from materials to shaping. They pulled from their MotoGP division to create a new tread profile which delivers enhanced grip over the Pro3, despite this tire's similar makeup. At the end of the day, the redesign also resulted in a slight increase in wear resistance, allowing riders to get a few extra miles out of their rubber.
Features:
700 x 23-25c clincher tire
HD-Protection puncture resistant layer
110 TPI
Tread area utilizes Michelin's "Bi compound" technology
Lateral tread width optimized for improved grip when cornering
Weight: 205g (23mm)

Really light, rolls fast and durable enough for every day use
by Control Freak

I have been using the 25mm width version for 10 years now and can't think of any reason to use any other. They inflate to a tad over 28mm on my rims so I am running 78/85 psi front/back (I weigh 142 lb.). At 218g actual weight they are much lighter than many of the so call light weight tires. So if you are concerned with angular momentum and centrifugal weight, these tires are worth a try. I get over 5000 miles on the front and about 4200 miles on the back riding mostly on semi rural country roads. The grip and handling on dry surfaces are on par with all the other high end tires.

Easier to mount, good grip in various conditions, rolling resistance ok
by UtahGF
Competitive Racer

I've put almost 1K miles on them, including LOTOJA this year. I've been a Cont 5000 GP user, and decided to give these a try. These are easier to mount than the Continentals, but rolling resistance feels a little more tough. There is also no wear indicators so I'll just have to guess when it's time to change.

Michelin Pro4s check all the boxes!

I was using the lighter Michelin Power Competition for a few years but they were fragile tires. After I got a few sidewall punctures I switch back to Pro4 Service Course-a little heavier tire but much more durable. Even at 219g the Pro4 are still lighter than many of the other tires in the same class. My old Pro4 25mm would inflate to almost 28mm wide. These newer ones are more like 27mm after inflating to 85 psi. I get over 4000 miles for the rear tire and 5500 for the front. The grip and roll resistance are excellent even without the gimmicky tread patterns and fancy compounds.

Supple, Grippy, Quick

These are really fun tires that grip fantastically on corners and best part start to sing around 18mph on a smooth road. I find the 700x25 size I use easier to mount than it's Conti rival, yet just as durable.

This is the tire I ride for all dry road conditions. Durable and lasts a long time. The tire corners very well and seems nimble to avoid road irregularities.

A great handling tire with various fun colors
by albertmtamayo

I use this tire for training (100- 150 miles per week) and get good mileage out of these tires. They handle really well on fast downhill curves like a racing tire and yet resist flats well like a training tire should. And the bonus - great colors.

Excellent all around tires
Superb dry grip, decent durability, reasonable puncture protection.
In my opinion, the best all around training tires at this price point. I trust these tires for high speed cornering. When WBW has these on sale, they are the best value anywhere.

I have been riding on both of my bikes these tires for numerous years. (TREK carbon & KLEIN Quantum) I have them mounted on ROLF VIGORS rims. They are fast yet sticky for safely hammering corners.

Great, reliable tires

I started using the Michelin Pro4 Service tires at the recommendation of a friend after having a really bad experience with some Conti tires. The beads are really flexible, so it's really easy to service a flat on the road. The tires feel really nice when cornering, and the puncture resistance so far has been great.

I bought these tires for a bike I was riding on weekends for an upgrade in performance. The bike I was commuting with finally bit the dust and I decided to start riding the weekend bike to work. I just put new tires on after deciding that the old ones had worn a little too thin and the shape was rather flat. Honestly, I could probably get away with a few hundred more miles, but don't want to risk it. There were several small cuts from all the riding, but only one reached the cord (it was from a very sharp glass shard I picked up in a parking lot a few months back). I estimate that I got about 3500 miles out of them, and most of those miles were commuting. I rode all through winter and in some poor conditions. They held up beautifully and gave me a much longer life than I ever expected. I did notice that they seemed to wear quickly for the first 200-300 miles, but then they wore slowly for the rest of their life. I have no complaints to make-they're quite fast, corner well, and feel good on the road. Incidentally, I bought the tires with the white accent, despite riding in all kinds of conditions, I didn't have much trouble keeping them pretty clean. I highly recommend these tires!

Low rolling resistance and fairly light. Better durability then the Race Competition tires. The 25mm width will inflate to more like a 27mm tire.

These tires handles the road very well, good tractions and rides very smooth. not very reliable. i did a century on them with no problem. The next day I wanted to do a short ride, i realized that i had a flat and a huge gash on the side. i only put about 200 miles on them before i retired them. the worse tires i have ever owned
