Review by SpringI have been using these tires on my road bike for over 4 years and they are the best for avoiding flats.by SpringCycling EnthusiastSeattle, Washington1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.They originally came in 700 X 23 with red sidewall. I bought them because they made my bike look good. When the red sidewall was no longer offered in my size, I had to go to black. But despite the cosmetic disappoint, they are best tire I have ever used and allow me to ride without being constantly concerned with flats. The tire bead is really tight, and I have a hard time getting the tire off and on with arthritic hands. I carry Park tire irons, and I do mean irons, with me when I ride by myself to insure that I can change the tire if needed by myself. Have never needed them since I got the irons. These are the best tires, and I can count on them to go at least 1,000 miles before they start to look ratty.

Review by gregFor the money, it's hard to beat the performance. by gregCycling Enthusiastnorthern new hampshire4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.I installed a set of Pro 4's on my Synapse to improve the comfort of the ride. They provided me with good grip, and a more forgiving ride, as they seem to absorb the road cracks.

Review by Psk410Good tireby Psk410Dallas, TX2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I'm still very early into my usage of these tires and have not owned them before. Initially they feel very grippy given the lack of any tread pattern. They even picked up every spec of dust and hair on my garage floor on my way out for the first ride. I bought them for the reported combination of puncture resistance and low rolling resistance. I hadn't noticed them to roll any faster than my old gatorskins yet, but this could be my fault, as I think I need to run them a bit higher PSI. Got a good deal and quick delivery from Western. Very pleased with them.

Review by AnonymousExcellent product for durability and performanceby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastNortheast USA4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.I have been riding on Pro 4 Endurance tires for at least the last 7 or 8 years. I weigh about 185 lbs yet have been able to get at least 2,500 to 3,000 miles on these tires and often a bit more. I ride about 2,500 to 3,000 miles per season and usually put a new set of tires on each year or so. I ride almost exclusively on paved roads and have had maybe 2 or 3 flats of flats over that time period of 7 to 8 years. The tires perform very well and are solid in the corners.

Review by RoadwarriorGood ride, but multiple desalinationsby RoadwarriorCycling EnthusiastSouthern California 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.These are decent tires for road riding and training. The treadmill wear is pretty good. However, if you get tires with colored sidewalls, Grey in my case, be warned that the tread may separate at the Junction of the colored sidewall, and peel loose. I've experienced this on multiple of these tires.

Review by EricBad Tear on their Maiden Voyageby EricBaltimore County, MD2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I was really looking forward to riding these, especially since I had a great experience with the tires these replaced (Lithium 2's). However, the rear tire popped (no puncture, the tube was intact) and had a rip or tear just shy of the bead, when though I took care not to overinflate them. A real shame.

Review by AnonymousVery good tire for the moneyby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastBerlin, NH 03570, USAI changed to this tire from a pair of Schwalbes. They give me a more supple ride. I immediately noticed a big difference when it comes to road cracks. The Schwalbes give a harsh ride, but they probably last longer! I have gotten good wear out of the Michelin pro 3's, so I think the 4's should be the same.

Review by FrankwwtNice wintertraining tire that doesn't feel sluggish by FrankwwtCycling EnthusiastPDX3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.I used the 25mm version on wider rims (Pacenti SL25, internal width 20mm) on a disc road bike for commute, and had great results. This seems to have the smoothest rolling among other wintertraining tires I've used so far Continental GP 4 seasons, Vitorria Rubino Pro G, Specialized Roubaix Pro.

Review by PDX MikeWider rims, wider actual width.by PDX MikeCycling EnthusiastSW PDX6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.I put these on as a replacement for Gatorskins. I bought a 25 for the front and a 28 for the rear (lower pressure, more cushioning, etc.). They seem to roll pretty well and I've had no flats and minimal wear over a few hundred miles. I run them on Velocity A23 rims. The front tire, a nominal 25, measures at 28mm with about 90 psi. However, the rear, a nominal 28, measures at 29 at 90 psi. I'm not sure why the 25 runs at almost the same width on the same rim as the 28. So, if you're thinking of buying some as they close out this model, you might want to take that into consideration.

Review by El PatoGreat rolling tire, but cuts too easily.by El PatoCycling EnthusiastSalem, Oregon5 of 8 customers found this review helpful.I've ridden a few of these Michelin's and was initially very satisfied with them. Road feel is great, traction is excellent, but then there's the durability issue.
Given that the rubber is soft these tires started getting road cuts the first day I road them. Granted there is much debris on the roads, but this is the first tire that cuts so dang easily. The sidewalls are also so soft that it started to bulge out and very unsafe.
I've stopped buying these tires. So have my other riding buddies. I understand know why they're always on salem

Review by AnonymousAs expected - solid tire. by AnonymousSolid, affordable tire. Using it for my commuter bike. They're still new-ish, but have given me no reason to doubt their durability or traction. They aren't the fastest or with the least rolling resistance, but that's not the niche they're designed to fill. Would buy again without hesitation.

Review by Fuzzy LogicGreat tire but stay away from gravel.by Fuzzy LogicCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR7 of 8 customers found this review helpful.I have been using the 700x25c for a few years and have been happy with the ride and the cornering and will continue using them. The side walls are very thin which gives you a very nice ride and good corning but I did a 8 mile climb on gravel that just chewed the side walls exposing the cord in places but not cutting it. The rear tire was near the end of it's life so I toasted it, moved the front to the back and used a tube patch on the interior of the tire under the two serious cuts. That tire is now near the end of it's life and I will change it out in the next few hundred miles.
Do not use this tire on extended gravel.
