MichelinPower Endurance Tire(Return to Product Page)

Starting off with the good

Very supple and noticeably light! After 900 miles wear is fine (I commute with 15lb pannier & rack, and currently weigh 155lbs). These tires 'feel' fast perhaps due to the lightness.

Cons

Poor puncture resistance. I commute daily to downtown Seattle and 1 weekend adventure ride, apparently there is glass everywhere, which I never noticed with my previous tires. These tires averaged 3 flats per week. Later started spending 10 minutes before departing to pick off any particles (glass,thorns, etc) that may have attached to tire before leaving on next commute. This did not help, flats continued in different parts of tire (I was using patch kit, and no duplicates)

The tire did hold up well after glass cuts. The cut never spread widely, but remained just a bit small.

Perhaps the 'Endurance' is more for the tread life vs. ability to withstand punctures.

These are good fast tires, but too much time spent repairing flats to keep them on. Recommend if your commuteride is debris free, otherwise look elsewhere.

Thanks!

I really like these tires. I heard others say they had problems with mounting them but that was not the case with mine. From the very first ride i was sold. I wouldn't hesitate buying these. The roll and feel is outstanding.

Can't go wrong with the Michelin Endurance, rolls nice, pump them up to 8 bar. Go with the 25C or 28C.

Very quick delivery on these tires. They look great, easy to install. Only been on a couple rides so cant say much on longevity.

First rate ride , handling, I have had no punctures get 13 to 15 hundred miles before ware indicator says change. Very good tire.

Love this tires, great performance!!

very hard to mount,I also destroyed a tube mounting them .They are still holding air in my basement. I don't want to ride them , I am afraid of having a flat out on the road.

road riding some ruff Finally got the bike out of the basement ,rode 34 miles no flats Thank God ! tires felt very firm at 98 psi, I'll try a lb or 2 less next ride.

Thanks,

Cappy

Michelin has certainly improved this tire, I use them for bike commuting and even in the rain they grip great!

Recreational.

With 100 miles on these tires, there is no sign of wear. The downside is that I would not want to change a tube on the side of the road. Installing them at home, I pinched two tubes and resorted to using Schwalbe Easy Fit to get them on. Even then, I had to stretch the last part on with a tire lever. I lost the Schwalbe One's I replaced to a rock strike on the sidewall. These tires have a very similar road feel and, hopefully, better durability.

Better ride than earler tire - like 87 PSI

I have used these tires for the last couple of years. very good performance and with good mileage every time

I have only had the tires mounted for 2 weeks. I ride them on well maintained roads. You can feel the difference, between the Pro4 and these tires immediately.

Got early tear on sidewall.

I purchased these for Fall and winter as they have a better puncture resistant makeup when compared to the Comp. So far they have great grip and very light weight with no punctures to date. The small amount of tread there is can be found on the sides of the tire and good for mixed road conditions. If you ride in the rain and snow I would look for their next model that has more tread and designed for these conditions.

I love Michelin tires and have found the endurance Pro to be a great value in performance and wear
