Review by WaroadriderGood mid-level tire for the priceby WaroadriderCycling Enthusiastspokane waThis is my second set of these tires. They last me 2 riding seasons and are a great value. They are a bit heavy, most likely because the can be used on electric bikes.

Review by KentPerfect for Urban/Gravel Bike by KentCycling EnthusiastCharleston1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I am converting my old road bike to an urban/gravel bike. These tires are the perfect replacement of 700x28 road tires! They fit my road bike forks/frame with slightly wider, tougher, higher traction tires. Easy to mount, look great!

Review by BradleycoGreat buying and service experience, thank youby BradleycoCycling EnthusiastWest Shore of Michigan6 of 6 customers found this review helpful. I ride 30 plus miles a day for pleasure in and around Michigan's trails. These tires are superior in ride and performance to my previous tires. The narrow band white wall looks good and glows at night for added safety.

Review by AnonymousGood tireby AnonymousAlbuquerqueThis is a fine tire and it's not made in China. Delivery was prompt and on schedule. I installed it myself (1st time I've done that) and saved lots of money.

Review by AnonymousGreat town bike tire.by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSacramento1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I have a town bike with big folding panniers and a large rack bag that I use to get groceries (just fits two large bags of groceries and a six-pack in the rack bag) - about 40 lb with no load. These tires carry the load easily yet are lighter and have much lower rolling resistance than the others I have tried on this bike. I absolutely recommend them!

Review by AnonymousProtek is good tire and a good value.by AnonymousCycling Enthusiast5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.We bought the 32mm Protek from WesternBikeWorks as a Deal of the day. We have it on the rear wheel of our road tandem to see if a lower pressure wider tire will reduce vibration compared to 28mm Gatorskins. Team and tandem weigh just under 400 pounds and we wear rear tires quickly. Weve put over 700 miles on the Protek and were very pleased with the ride, rolling resistance and flat protection.

Review by etod13So far so goodby etod13CLE8 of 8 customers found this review helpful.I only have had them on my bike for a couple hundred miles, but Ive put them through the wringer. They have great traction in wet and sloppy weather and provide an ultra-smooth ride over chuckhole-covered streets. These were a perfect investment to allow me to ride my cross bike year round.

Review by B''ham BikerGreat, tough tire!by B''ham BikerBellingham3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.I have been running these tires (700-32) for years on my commuter bike and have had only 1 flat. I ride on gravel trails, asphalt and occasionally dirt.
They are extremely long lasting and I just bought this last one to complete a set of 2 for my bike, since I am ready to change both front and rear this time. They are both showing lots of little cuts and you never know when a sharp rock will get lucky and enter the tire through one of these cuts and cause a flat. I highly recommend these tires from Michelin.

Review by ParderoOverratedby ParderoWyoming1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.This is a low end touring tire from a major brand. It has a garden variety tread pattern. Michelin wants me to run higher pressures than the worn out Continentals I took off. I don't like high pressures. The Vees on my 700c wheeled Lombardo say 'inflate to 40 psi.' Those tires provide a soft ride, good traction, and have given me zero trouble in 9 years. These boring tires will convert a sporty hybrid into a dumpy commuter bike. The Michelin tires are not as symmetrical as I had hoped, and a drunk must have painted the reflective strips. Michelin is living off their name and the Chinese tire companies will bury them. I grudgingly allow 3 stars because of the excellent grippy rubber compound.

Review by GordonUsing these tires on our everyday bikes, excellent serviceby GordonCasual CyclistMiami, FlWe have used these for years for everyday riding. These work well on every day roads, good considering the cracks and potholes. Also fat enough to work fine in sandy areas of the parks and on the edge of the beach.
The newer version of these tires run wider than labelled 40 mm vs 38 mm size. The newest version is Ebike certified which now raised the max inflation.

Review by KinskiRolls well, installed easily, a bit heavy but overall for the price I�m totally satisfied by KinskiCycling EnthusiastSammamish, WA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.This tire is on my winter bike that accommodates wider tires for additional stability while cornering and riding on paved roads that may be wet, have irregular surfaces or various types of impediments (leaves, twigs) strewn on the pavement.
I am completely satisfied with these tires. They roll well, the ride is comfortable and they fell stable while cornering.
