Review by Control FreakReally light, rolls fast and durable enough for every day useby Control FreakCycling EnthusiastHilly East Tennessee2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I have been using the 25mm width version for 10 years now and can't think of any reason to use any other. They inflate to a tad over 28mm on my rims so I am running 78/85 psi front/back (I weigh 142 lb.). At 218g actual weight they are much lighter than many of the so call light weight tires. So if you are concerned with angular momentum and centrifugal weight, these tires are worth a try. I get over 5000 miles on the front and about 4200 miles on the back riding mostly on semi rural country roads. The grip and handling on dry surfaces are on par with all the other high end tires.

Review by SCCycleGuyTried and true - love my Michelinsby SCCycleGuyCycling EnthusiastGreenville, SCI'm a longtime user of Michelin tires, and the Pro4 Service has become one of my favorites. Handles great on roads wet or dry. Durable enough for daily training but quick enough to get me to the top first. I've used plenty of other tires but I always come back to these. A consistent performer.

Review by Control FreakMichelin Pro4s check all the boxes!by Control FreakCycling EnthusiastEast Tennessee3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.I was using the lighter Michelin Power Competition for a few years but they were fragile tires. After I got a few sidewall punctures I switch back to Pro4 Service Course-a little heavier tire but much more durable. Even at 219g the Pro4 are still lighter than many of the other tires in the same class. My old Pro4 25mm would inflate to almost 28mm wide. These newer ones are more like 27mm after inflating to 85 psi. I get over 4000 miles for the rear tire and 5500 for the front. The grip and roll resistance are excellent even without the gimmicky tread patterns and fancy compounds.

Review by UtahGFEasier to mount, good grip in various conditions, rolling resistance okby UtahGFCompetitive RacerSyracuse, UtahI've put almost 1K miles on them, including LOTOJA this year. I've been a Cont 5000 GP user, and decided to give these a try. These are easier to mount than the Continentals, but rolling resistance feels a little more tough. There is also no wear indicators so I'll just have to guess when it's time to change.

Review by albertmtamayoA great handling tire with various fun colorsby albertmtamayoCycling Enthusiastsan diegoI use this tire for training (100- 150 miles per week) and get good mileage out of these tires. They handle really well on fast downhill curves like a racing tire and yet resist flats well like a training tire should. And the bonus - great colors.

Review by LawrenceExcellent all around tiresby LawrencePORTLANDSuperb dry grip, decent durability, reasonable puncture protection.
In my opinion, the best all around training tires at this price point. I trust these tires for high speed cornering. When WBW has these on sale, they are the best value anywhere.

Review by Illinois bikerSupple, Grippy, Quickby Illinois bikerDaily Commuter1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.These are really fun tires that grip fantastically on corners and best part start to sing around 18mph on a smooth road. I find the 700x25 size I use easier to mount than it's Conti rival, yet just as durable.

Review by CMYcycleGreat, reliable tiresby CMYcycleCycling EnthusiastLos Angeles, Ca2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I started using the Michelin Pro4 Service tires at the recommendation of a friend after having a really bad experience with some Conti tires. The beads are really flexible, so it's really easy to service a flat on the road. The tires feel really nice when cornering, and the puncture resistance so far has been great.

Review by FiddlerExcellent road feel, surprisingly long life &40for a race tire&41.by FiddlerCycling EnthusiastWashington, D.C. Metro Area5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.I bought these tires for a bike I was riding on weekends for an upgrade in performance. The bike I was commuting with finally bit the dust and I decided to start riding the weekend bike to work. I just put new tires on after deciding that the old ones had worn a little too thin and the shape was rather flat. Honestly, I could probably get away with a few hundred more miles, but don't want to risk it. There were several small cuts from all the riding, but only one reached the cord (it was from a very sharp glass shard I picked up in a parking lot a few months back). I estimate that I got about 3500 miles out of them, and most of those miles were commuting. I rode all through winter and in some poor conditions. They held up beautifully and gave me a much longer life than I ever expected. I did notice that they seemed to wear quickly for the first 200-300 miles, but then they wore slowly for the rest of their life. I have no complaints to make-they're quite fast, corner well, and feel good on the road. Incidentally, I bought the tires with the white accent, despite riding in all kinds of conditions, I didn't have much trouble keeping them pretty clean. I highly recommend these tires!

Review by nivvisOverall great tire. A bit soft and larger than advertised though.by nivvisCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR12 of 12 customers found this review helpful.These tires ride smooth and sticky. I put 2400 miles on them before the rear got so square that it started to show bare threads. I use them pretty hard too lots of long rides on Dirty 30, occasional gravel, and unforgiving commuting.
The only complaints I have are really compromises that Michelin made. These tires have great traction because the compound is pretty soft. While my tires lasted 2k miles, there were LOTS of deep gashes that exposedcut through threads - I probably should have replaced the rear sooner. Likewise the tire rides so smooth because the 25s actually measure 27.5mm 100psi. As long as you know what you're buying they're fantastic.
