MichelinProtek 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

I got a pair of these for our tandem. It's possible the worst rolling tire I've ever tried, and in 45 years and over 170K miles I've tried a lot.

ride approx. 20 miles at least 3 or 4 days a week, rough pavement and gravel roads

Great price, amazing shipping, always happy.

1. My wife says rolls easier, less pedaling effort, not out of breath anymore, than original Kenda tires. 2. Sturdily built, was easy to install. 3. Very reflective circular stripes. All tires should have this safety feature! 4. Bought Michelin Protec Max tubes also, noticably thicker than original tubes. Overall a great combo. Tires actual measure 38mm (inflated).

Being I have used Michelin City tires on my Mountain Bike that I put some 700 plus miles to date with excellent results. That is no punctures. I decided to change my tires on my road bike to these tires going from 700x28 to 700x32, thus allowing me to enjoy more bike paths that often have gavel or dirt based roadways with the peace of mind. Only con I have is the overall diameter of these tires was much large than I accounted for, being I have rubbing my brake levers issues on my front wheel thus having to take care that I install it so to avoid the rubbing.

Just what I needed to feel safe and secure on my city streets. Put them on a Cannondale Quick.

Put these tires on my cross bike. I no longer compete but use the bike for casual surface street rides.

These Michelins replaced the OEM Bont 700x45. The Protek have a better ride along with good traction and little rolling resistance. Would buy again.

Went with Protec 38 mm 700c but sidewall stated it was rated 40mm. Not sure why some manufacturers ocassionaly do this, but caused no clearance issues on my Sirrus Elite Carbon. This Protec 3840 tire is a replacement for the factory 30mm. A nice improvement on tar & chip, light graveldirt and rougher streets. They give up a little speed to the previous Specilized 30 Espoir but not a lot. I like this tire and the size is a good match for my fitness and city adventure riding style.

Tires look great , have a good "feel" , grip in the wet , are affordable, durable . And on top of all that they have reflective sidewalls !

Pavement,gravel and dirt roads no problem.

I wanted to make my mountain bike more road based for commuting and these tires did the trick. The original tires had 2.2-2.0 tires on them and the rims worked well with the 40mm I purchased.

Very nice tires and very smooth quiet ride. No issues with punctures as of yet and got about 600 miles on them. Great tire all around.

I ride about 2000 miles a year on the paved rail trail. I was a bit wooried about ordering on line. Took the plunge and I am glad I did. Great tires, better price!

Ride on nyc streets mostly all boroughs ride these tires on Erie Canal across my state and on Allegheny trail from Pittsburgh to Washington DC without a problem they last me about a year and I change them every year

Put these on a Bianchi Volpe for an occasional 20 mile commute to work. so far they're 400 miles into use and still running just fine. Coasting on the Volpe has greatly improved, tread handles fairly well on dirt trails as well. would defiantly recommend as a great inexpensive tire.

Great tire, nice tread pattern and rides well. Safety reflective strip on sides. Great for the commute.

Very dependable tires, especially when you ride in cities where the streets are full of of potholes, you feel more confident and let the stress out, knowing that your tires are puncture resistant. So far, so good. I use these tires mostly on the trail, and I am very happy, good traction.

I use protek both front and back on my Giant Hybrid bike. I am a daily rider on gravel and pavement, 80% gravel rail-trails

I ride 22 miles per day on the street for exercise. Rarely miss a day. Protek tires last me about a year, maybe even a little longer. I like the reflective belt on the sidewall. Rarely get a flat and usually it's because I'm using the tire past it's replacement point ( I tend to run them kinda bald...)
