Michelin Protek 700c Tire

This is my second set of these tires. They last me 2 riding seasons and are a great value. They are a bit heavy, most likely because the can be used on electric bikes.

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..

Replaced a brand new factory supplied road tire 100psi marginal small grooved tread rough ride for this Michelin Protek, and I gained comfort, safety, and quality.

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.

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!

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

Used the tires on my bike to replace worn tires

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 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!

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 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.

Been riding with the Michelin Protek tires for a bit, and I really like them. They roll super fast and feel smooth, plus they're way quieter than other tires I've used. No annoying buzzing, just a nice, easy ride. Grip is solid too, without making me feel like I'm dragging. Definitely a good choice if you want something quick and comfy!

These replaced stock tires on my hybrid bike. I like them and would recommend them!

Pros: Compared to my stock tires these are noticably faster and grippier on tarmac. I saw an immediate 1-2mph improvement and felt more confident downhill. I also love the reflective strip.

Cons: A short 50 yard ride through a meadow resulted in a thorn puncture right through the tread. It was easy to find and patch my tube, but I was disappointed that a new tire didn't resist it. As is always the case, it could easily be bad luck- but I think these tires are not especially well suited to anything more adventurous than gravel.

Overall, despite the bad luck, I am happy and do recommend these as a great value for the price.

These are a solid pair of no-frills commuting tires. They are not the lightest but roll well without significant resistance. They are great for bad, pothole-filled urban asphalt roads with good stability and control in the wet/rain. They are quite difficult to install which is why I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5.

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.

It's a very solid tire that rolls well with pressure and still has enough traction to maintain a comfortable ride on sandy soil or occasional gravel. It's a quiet, easy-rolling (not like a 110 pound pressure 700x23c) tire. If you're mostly on pavement, this is a wonderful choice.

I nave put around 600 miles on these with no flats. These are not great in loose dirt, but dirt doesn't cause fear.

A great choice for the city rider who takes the occasional trail or gravel.

This is a low end touring tire from a major brand. It has a garden variety tread pattern. Michelin wants me to run higher pressures than the worn out Continentals I took off. I don't like high pressures. The Vees on my 700c wheeled Lombardo say 'inflate to 40 psi.' Those tires provide a soft ride, good traction, and have given me zero trouble in 9 years. These boring tires will convert a sporty hybrid into a dumpy commuter bike. The Michelin tires are not as symmetrical as I had hoped, and a drunk must have painted the reflective strips. Michelin is living off their name and the Chinese tire companies will bury them. I grudgingly allow 3 stars because of the excellent grippy rubber compound.
