These tires are on my road bike. I like the durability of the tire. I ride on the shoulder of many county roads in my area. Most of them have quite a bit of gravels and debris. Plus, the tire hold air for longer periods much longer than other brands.

I like red wall tires and good quality "reds" are hard to find. The 25mm are what I use. I find that they role well, are durable and the tread wear dimples are great. I always keep a couple spares just in case I can't get them when I need them. I am primarily a recreational rider and ride on all kinds of paved surfaces on country roads. They are okay on wet surfaces but I don't ride much when its wet.

Over the last 17 years, I have loved Michelin bike tires. The Pro Race and Pro Series have been durable and had great performance on a triathlon bike and 2 road bikes. On the very first ride with this Power Endurance tire, I took a flat (which could happen any time). After the ride, the tires looked like they had 100s of miles. So, durable endurance I would disagree. However, most importantly, I could feel the rolling resistance significantly climbing hills and on rougher roads. These tires were so bad and disappointing, they are coming off after only 32 miles. Further, sadly I am most likely switching brands after all these years.

Fast yet resilient and they are easy for me to change - even with the 23 mm size. I love the blue color as it matches my Cervelo's color scheme perfectly!
Review by Pauloz
Tires are smooth rolling and seem faster than old pro 4 tires. Also seeing PRs all over roads I have ridden many times. So I guess that speaks for itself.

Great tire that feels super fast on smooth roads... not so great on rough roads or chip seal. Thick contact patch but super thin sidewall. Keeps them light. Tough to ride at lower air pressure because the tire lacks sidewalk stability and almost feels like it will roll or wiggle a little bit. Fast tire at high pressure on smoothie roads.

Riding the roads and trails of Southern California is comfortable, safe and worry free on my Michelin Power Endurance Tires. I typically ride 30-40 miles twice a week, plus a couple centuries each year. Been riding Michelin road tires for 19 years and 42,000 miles. Just mounted my 4th set. They ride well, smooth, glide long, corner well even on wet pavement, long lasting and I had only two flats in past 2000 miles. Tried two name brand tires that lasted 2000 miles with multiple flats. Michelin has never disappointed me.

Ride this tire for recreational purposes and it handles well and get over two thousands miles (with rotation). Worth the money.
Review by Kathy M
I love everything about these tires... Riding city streets, paved trails and off road in the woods.. Yes! I'm about to replace with another set. I weigh 110 lbs, have over 2200 miles on them and, best of all, have only had one flat!! Need I say more?

Bought these to replace 23mm Michelin Pro 4 tires. The 25mm tires give a little better ride, with 5-10 psi lower pressure. The tread compound obviously wears longer - it took a long time just to wear off the mold parting line on the front tire. I'd buy these again.
Review by Ti Biker
I've used 5 of these tires over the past couple years. My weight runs between 210-215 pounds, averaged 2,550 miles on two of them. Only 1,200 miles on one due to sidewall damage (rider error - hit a fist sized rock). Total miles for the last two is pending, the past 3-4 months I was getting flats on almost every ride, including multiple flats on a couple rides. Always found the cause, typically thorns or road debris. After flatting one mile from the finish of a recent big event ride, I'd reached the breaking point. I'm trying out a set of crocodilian-themed tires
Review by Bobkolo
Blows away the gator skin cement tires that are hard as rocks and made my back and neck ache. Michelins break in fast and out handle the competion especially on technical downhill joints. Awesome in heavy rain also.
Plus colors in 25mm that make both our carbon bikes stand out amongst the wankers in SoCal
Review by Tscstripe
Smooth riding tire. Great grip and wears well. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that it is very tight and difficult to get on the wheel. Hoping they would have solved that issue with the newer line up.
Review by Guillermo
The 25m is absolutely perfect for a very real perception of confort and This tire really increases confidence with great tracking grip and fast rolling, Riding in them 2 months & about 500 Km, No flats & they look like new. two long rides with rain. Found 85 psi are ideal. like the better than Conti 4000 SII & Gator skins. I can really feel they are more compliant and comfortable
Review by Jaguar John
I have used Michelin's for decades, the Power series are a notch better the former Michelin's. I believe the tire composition allows for greater longevity. I use the Endurance models for training. Our terrain and road conditions are challenging. These tires hold up extremely well. They also roll up quickly when accelerating.
For the dollars they are extremely good value all purpose tire.
Review by Old roadie.
I get over 2K miles on these without flats on rough paved country roads with good cornering and smooth rolling on 25s. Take a little work to get on first time. If you take your time its worth it.

Prefer Michelin tires for the feel on the road. My preferential tire
Review by USA1169
I was reluctant to change to different tire than the Pro4 when it was discontinued but I have found the Power Endurance to be a better tire. Specifically it seems to hold up as well to the sharp basalt chips we get where I ride, and the occasional short gravel segments to connect loops. The notable improvement is the sidewalls are far more supple than the old Pro4's which give these tires and even better ride quality and I suspect lower rolling resistance. Very happy with them. They also added a wear indicator in the form of a dimple molded slightly off centerline rolling surface which annoyed me at first but I have grown to appreciate it.

Ride approx 80miweek on mix of decent to not so nice country roads. Need tire that can hold up to my weight and not so good of riding conditions. Have used Gator Skins for past few changes with very good long lasting results. Time will tell how these will compare... first impressions seem not as hard as the Gator Skins, little smoother.
Review by Celeste
These really exceed when climbing hills. They grip wet and dry pavement very well. However, there is someone or multiple someone's breaking glass all over town in the bike lanes. One night I couldn't avoid it because one of those super wide suv's was passing, and a these were no match for glass. Also, during the winter they dump gravel all over the bike lanes, and I feel way more comfortable in my other bike with the protek cross tires on it going over all that gravel. These were super tight and hard to get in, and now that I need to get it off, I need to get new tire levers as the ones I had won't fit.
On smooth rides without problem roads I think I would like these. But I didn't even make it av week without a flat on problem roads.
