Michelin
Protek 700c Tire

Converted my mountain bike into a road bike and these tires are really good..

The customer service was so good, I called them as I had questions and they were so helpful and knowledgeable...

Thanks westernbikeworks I will definitely use you guys for all other bike purchases..

This is a fine tire and it's not made in China. Delivery was prompt and on schedule. I installed it myself (1st time I've done that) and saved lots of money.

I am converting my old road bike to an urban/gravel bike. These tires are the perfect replacement of 700x28 road tires! They fit my road bike forks/frame with slightly wider, tougher, higher traction tires. Easy to mount, look great!

I ride 30 plus miles a day for pleasure in and around Michigan's trails. These tires are superior in ride and performance to my previous tires. The narrow band white wall looks good and glows at night for added safety.

Used the tires on my bike to replace worn tires

These tires hold up well to wear and punctures-great for commuting on streets to avoid flats

I have a town bike with big folding panniers and a large rack bag that I use to get groceries (just fits two large bags of groceries and a six-pack in the rack bag) - about 40 lb with no load. These tires carry the load easily yet are lighter and have much lower rolling resistance than the others I have tried on this bike. I absolutely recommend them!

I use the bike mainly on paved streets and bike paths. Occasionally on gravel. The reflective sidewalls really light up when light hits them and makes for a safer ride at night.

We bought the 32mm Protek from WesternBikeWorks as a Deal of the day. We have it on the rear wheel of our road tandem to see if a lower pressure wider tire will reduce vibration compared to 28mm Gatorskins. Team and tandem weigh just under 400 pounds and we wear rear tires quickly. Weve put over 700 miles on the Protek and were very pleased with the ride, rolling resistance and flat protection.

I only have had them on my bike for a couple hundred miles, but Ive put them through the wringer. They have great traction in wet and sloppy weather and provide an ultra-smooth ride over chuckhole-covered streets. These were a perfect investment to allow me to ride my cross bike year round.

Put these on the knock around town ride. No issues at all. Easy to mount, nice ride and the reflective strip really stands out in the dark.

A nothing special tire that does what it states. Never got flats and a great tire if you are looking for a good commuting tire.

I have been running these tires (700-32) for years on my commuter bike and have had only 1 flat. I ride on gravel trails, asphalt and occasionally dirt.

They are extremely long lasting and I just bought this last one to complete a set of 2 for my bike, since I am ready to change both front and rear this time. They are both showing lots of little cuts and you never know when a sharp rock will get lucky and enter the tire through one of these cuts and cause a flat. I highly recommend these tires from Michelin.

No one will win the Tour de France with these tires, however, I doubt anyone riding in the Tour de France would use an urban tire. It is what it is, and it does what it is supposed to do.

I've used 700x28 and 700x32 sizes of the Michelin Protek. Both ride well. Certainly better traction with the 700x32, which one would expect.

My wife uses the 700x32 on her Trek FX 7.2.

They are heavy. However, I average 10 to 11 mph with either size on a Cannondale Quick 4, which maybe isn't bad for a 64 year old rider.

Contrary to others, they are easy to install. At least once, maybe twice, I installed one of these tires without levers.

I had trouble with one tire. After at least one season of use, every tube I put in one tire would incur a pin hole puncture. I wiped and re-wiped the inside of the tire before installing the new tube. Each time, after a few hours riding, puncture. I put the tire on the other wheel. After a few months riding, puncture.

It' a Michelin. Its a quality tire. It does what Mich and Michelle say it will do.

This is the 2nd set of these tires true to size just plain good tires

I was getting a lot of flats riding in town on 25cm slicks (Continentals) so I wanted a slightly larger tire with a beefier tread. I bought two 28cm Protek 700cc tires, but so far have only installed the back one. On my 2012 Cannondale CAAD12, a no-frills aluminum road bike, this larger tire BARELY fit in the rear chain stay. I had to trim the rubber whiskers off the tire because they made an audible "ting" striking the stay; I also had to limit pressure to 70psi, and center the tire and rim carefully. But it all worked! I've done a couple hundred miles with no flats. The tire is very straight and smooth, more than my previous tires, although it does weigh nearly twice as much. Totally worth it - feels secure and roadworthy. I'll switch the front next time I have a flat.

I've been using Michelin tires for years and have never had a tire failure (or even a flat tire) over the thousands of miles my wife and I have ridden. These tires are mounted on our converted Mountain/Touring bikes, hauling 35 to 50 extra pounds of gear with no problem. I also like the small reflective band that goes around each side of the tire. Very noticeable at night, which we do a lot of riding in the evenings/night. It's a good tire!

The Michelin Protek tire is the best value for my hybrid bike. Each day after work, I ride twenty miles During the .winter months, half of my ride is in the dark and sometimes in wet conditions. I have peace of mind knowing that cars can see me because of the reflective sidewall; they have excellent channeling of rainwater and high puncture resistance. Not too difficult tire to mount, a durable tire at a great price. My go-to tire for my hybrid.

They remind me of much more expensive touring tires sold by a German manufacturer. They roll well and have nice rounded shoulders for leaning into turns. Other reviewers had noted they run a bit large. I generally run 35s and that is the size I bought but my bike has very minimal brake and fender clearance and If I get another set they will be 32s. Otherwise I am completely pleased.

The tire runs smooth and is very quiet on trails. Mounted easily and seems like a good tire. It also runs true, and I really like the reflective stripe. Nice tread pattern. I trust the Michelin brand name on my SUV too. I would have paid extra for the Max with more anti flat protection if buying another but, for this sale price it was hard to pass up.
