Michelin
Protek Cross 700c Tire

I've had these on for over a month now and I'm super happy with them. They're on my very heavy, bombproof commuter that I ride daily everywhere, including the alleyways in Portland so my young kids can experience "gravel." The install was super easy, they've been trouble free, and I would definitely buy them again. The price is right, they're durable, and they're easy to install. Outfit your commuter bike today!

After an exhaustive internet search for a quality tire at an affordable price, I discovered the Michelin Protec Cross on Westernbikeworks.com. These tires were a bit more aggressive than ones replaced, but a great choice for pavement, dirt, and gravel. Very pleased.

I used to be a devotee of Schwalbes, but these are definitely a more economical alternative. As I no longer commute by bike (working from home) I'm using these tires as bulletproof winter training tires. They are not plush gravel grinding tires. They are not grippy racing tires. They're hard-wearing, thick treads you ride because fixing a flat in winter is Not Fun At All. Additionally, I think the tread is capable of some light gravel andor mud, but I haven't proven this theory.

These are great tires, they give me much more confidence than my previous ones, that I'll make it the entire way through my ride without a flat. They are a great cross tire and I haven't had a flat in the last 500 miles.

Bicycle manufacturers almost always put JUNK tires on their bikes, with E-bikes being an exception. Whenever you get a new bike the first thing you should to is replace the crap OEM tires with something decent. Up until recently I have always replaced the original tires with Schwalbes but their prices have been getting a bit out of reach, so I searched for something high quality but less expensive. I found these and gave them a shot. So far, they're great! No flats, great ride. Recommended. Note: i also put in flat protectors. Flat tires are my #1 bike problem.

I Always purchase tires in 3's since I go through 2 rears for every front. Moved out of SF bay area last year and found a need to buy a Merlin carbon cross bike to deal with the torturous country roads and miles of gravel in northern California. Beautiful, vehicle free rides all day but road conditions go from great to awe heck in a hurry. BIG difference from the 32's that came on the Merlin. Road comfort dramatically improved and now miles of gravel are always happily part of my rides.

Picked up 3 more for our Cannondale road tandem 1. Don't do gravel with the wife but these tires offer way more comfort for the me and my stoker. Stealth quiet, grippy and secure in the corners. 35's are the biggest to fit my bikes but I would have went bigger if I could. Big tires is where it's at anytime anywhere. No flat's yet.

These went on my FX-2, I went with the 35x700 size. Very impressed so far. They are QUIET, I was expecting some noise looking at the tread but have really enjoyed the lack of tread noise. I'm running 85 psi, the ride is nice, good roll. They are a bit heavy, but when riding this is unnoticeable. I was lucky and caught these on sale, but the regular price is still a great deal for what you are getting. The reflective stripe is a nice touch, overall I would buy another set without blinking.

Ive put these on about 35 bikes.Repair business,no more Flats.Better tires than most bikes come new with.Fast rolling,cushy ride,Deep tread that rolls fast.85lbersjust right,75lbsstill hard,but rides improved.65 for off road.55lbs for mushy mud.Michelins run 1.5mm larger,Tall tread when aired up.Watch frame clearance.Ive found out the 35mm fits most 35mm applicationsreplacements in the frame wFenders.35mm is my Favorite.

I repair a lot of bikes. I always like these for the ride, protection and great hands-on only fit. Reflective stripe is bright 200ft or more. Rolls really well pumped up. Start at 65-70lbs.No squirm under hard braking.

The Michelin Proteck Cross tire is a very durable and comfort riding tire for my Colnago Impact flat bar gravel bike. For riding road and trail surfaces I find this tire a highly reliable. It is a very grippy tire in tight turns and offering a fast rolling performance. This is a winner tire IMHO.

I am making a used Surly disc long haul trucker my own. These tires are the right size for the road or if I want to go off the beaten path. I have only been on paved roads so far and they seem to role well. Mine are the 35's on a 700 wheel. They are directional and must be mounted correctly. They went on the wheel about like most other tires I have mounted on these wheels, I needed tire tools to get them on.

500 hundred miles into a tour from Portland to San Francisco the sidewall separated from

the bead. These were new tires when i started the tour with maybe 100 miles on them.

Lucky for me that I had brought a folding spare tire.

Made it from Cumberland, MD to Washington DC on these tires. Encountered lots of rocks, branches and mud, Absolutely no worries. Great traction and comfort.

I was getting flats too often, now with Michelin Protek Cross no flats thus far, grippy, safe feeling and still low rolling resistance.

I ride mostly on side of paved roads and paved bike trails which have loose dirt and gravel at some areas.

Hybrids,comfortElectric assist bikes.I repair all kinds and have been putting these on 25-30 bikes.Everyones Happy,They ride great w 85lbs pressure or softer at 75lbs.Durabality,Ride,Debris just go away.Braking w disc or pads very good,no squirm,solid stops.35mm Fit most hybrid,Commuters,MTBs. Lots of room for fenders..Put on some fenders when wet outgo!.

This tire is perfect for the store and pecan hunting. I ride mostly on but occasionally off road and these tires just eat it up! I've got about 700 miles on them with little signs of wear, and only in the rear tire. At under $XXea. buy them by the 12 dozen. I'm riding the 40mm, I like a good thick tire, they roll good. I always try to inflate to the max. They are cushy and bouncy, they look great too. I haven't found anything yet not to like about these tires.

These handle great on problem roads. Gravel ridden winter bike lanes, glassy areas, no problem. One of my routes had a diversion that led me into thoseunincorporated non paved roads. I was glad I was in the bike with these tires. You do want to check your tire pressure. If they get a little soft you will kill yourself trying to get them to roll. They don't grip hills as well as my smooth road tires, I have to work alot harder to get up them, but hey, better workout, right? I got the 35's, which is what came on my bike, but these are bigger and I couldn't fit my fenders. You will not make any freinds with the amount of spray these give off on wet roads. I've been riding without fenders on these for a while, and I've had enough. I'm sizing down to get my fenders back on. Otherwise, given the mixed terrain and conditions I face in my declining city, I think these are the best trade off for security. I've been on them for 4 months now and not a single flat. Even though I've ridden over glass, gravel, branches, other things strewn in the bike lane. I always avoid the stuff when I can, but most often it's not possible.

Title says most. 35's too wide for front fork on Trek Domane SL6, 32's are fine. Great deal, fast delivery. Gives peace of mind for urban road debris while providing good off-road traction and confidence.

I used on my cycle camping trip from Pittsburgh to DC 340 miles or dirt and mud and some sharp rocks with 45 lbs on back of bike(that's where the tire was mounted).. No flats or mounting problems!

I ride a 7 mile circuit around the block I live on. It's all paved but a lot of it is course aggregate strewn with loose gravel. A few miles are on the shoulder of an Interstate highway, littered with broken glass and debris that falls off 18 wheelers. About 23 rds is on farm to market roads, again littered with glass and debris. Before buying these tires, I averaged a flat about every 75 miles and tires only lasted about 300 miles. Very frustrating and expensive. I have over 400 miles on these tires and they show no signs of wear. I have had several flats but they were due to tube failures (separation of the inner seam). 700x35 60 psi, smoothes out the road. I am 6'1, 230 and ride from 7 to 21 miles up to 5 times a week.
