Review by Keith The PERFECT multi-purpose tire for a Fitness Bikeby Keith Cycling EnthusiastCentral Texas (Hill Country)1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I ride a fitness bike daily on a combination of paved roads, gravel roads and natural surface trails and these tires devour everything I throw at them. Fast and quiet on paved roads, they also provide ample traction and stability on unimproved surfaces.
To top it off, they are resistant to flats and last for several thousand miles of demanding cycling. I highly recommend the MICHELIN PROTEK CROSS 700C TIRE for those who ride hard and fast on multiple surface types.

Review by AlanPluses and Minusesby AlanChicagoDecent tire for the money. Comfortable (at 60 psi) and good in the city streets snow.
One of my pair had the sidewall fail after 2500 miles. Not happy about that but I replaced the tire because the other one had very moderate wear. Oh well.

Review by Alan ScottGreat commuter tireby Alan ScottChicagoI ride 40 miles a day on Chicago streets. I'm on my second set of these tires (first set on another bike). They are very comfortable and almost impervious to glass. Great tires.

Review by SpaldingGreat tires at a great price!by SpaldingCasual CyclistAlbuquerque, NM2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.After an exhaustive internet search for a quality tire at an affordable price, I discovered the Michelin Protec Cross on Westernbikeworks.com. These tires were a bit more aggressive than ones replaced, but a great choice for pavement, dirt, and gravel. Very pleased.

Review by pdxdadPerfect Commuter/Alleyway Tiresby pdxdadCycling EnthusiastPortland, ORI've had these on for over a month now and I'm super happy with them. They're on my very heavy, bombproof commuter that I ride daily everywhere, including the alleyways in Portland so my young kids can experience "gravel." The install was super easy, they've been trouble free, and I would definitely buy them again. The price is right, they're durable, and they're easy to install. Outfit your commuter bike today!

Review by drosserEconomical option for winter commuting or trainingby drosserCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I used to be a devotee of Schwalbes, but these are definitely a more economical alternative. As I no longer commute by bike (working from home) I'm using these tires as bulletproof winter training tires. They are not plush gravel grinding tires. They are not grippy racing tires. They're hard-wearing, thick treads you ride because fixing a flat in winter is Not Fun At All. Additionally, I think the tread is capable of some light gravel andor mud, but I haven't proven this theory.

Review by AnonymousThey're great Tires, wish they had come on my Cyclocross bike to begin withby AnonymousCasual CyclistAnn Arbor, MI2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.These are great tires, they give me much more confidence than my previous ones, that I'll make it the entire way through my ride without a flat. They are a great cross tire and I haven't had a flat in the last 500 miles.

Review by Country HickJust ordered 3 more 700x35'sby Country HickCompetitive Racer10 miles from Corning California5 of 6 customers found this review helpful.I Always purchase tires in 3's since I go through 2 rears for every front. Moved out of SF bay area last year and found a need to buy a Merlin carbon cross bike to deal with the torturous country roads and miles of gravel in northern California. Beautiful, vehicle free rides all day but road conditions go from great to awe heck in a hurry. BIG difference from the 32's that came on the Merlin. Road comfort dramatically improved and now miles of gravel are always happily part of my rides.
Picked up 3 more for our Cannondale road tandem 1. Don't do gravel with the wife but these tires offer way more comfort for the me and my stoker. Stealth quiet, grippy and secure in the corners. 35's are the biggest to fit my bikes but I would have went bigger if I could. Big tires is where it's at anytime anywhere. No flat's yet.

Review by JamesLoving these!by JamesCycling EnthusiastEugene, OR6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.These went on my FX-2, I went with the 35x700 size. Very impressed so far. They are QUIET, I was expecting some noise looking at the tread but have really enjoyed the lack of tread noise. I'm running 85 psi, the ride is nice, good roll. They are a bit heavy, but when riding this is unnoticeable. I was lucky and caught these on sale, but the regular price is still a great deal for what you are getting. The reflective stripe is a nice touch, overall I would buy another set without blinking.

Review by mjgood basic tireby mjCycling EnthusiastOrange County, Ca.1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I bought these for my Sirrus Elite. glad I did. The tires run smooth, have good grip and what's most important I have not had a flat on normal type paved surfaces. I did experience a drywall screw go right thru the tire and out the sidewall. The tire was toast. It was only my second ride on it. Unfortunately, even a car tire would not have stopped that screw. I ordered a new tire the same day and received the new tire 2 days later. Happy with the tire.

Review by John LukaPoor man's Schwalbe by John LukaCycling EnthusiastSouthern California1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Bicycle manufacturers almost always put JUNK tires on their bikes, with E-bikes being an exception. Whenever you get a new bike the first thing you should to is replace the crap OEM tires with something decent. Up until recently I have always replaced the original tires with Schwalbes but their prices have been getting a bit out of reach, so I searched for something high quality but less expensive. I found these and gave them a shot. So far, they're great! No flats, great ride. Recommended. Note: i also put in flat protectors. Flat tires are my #1 bike problem.
