Review by SeattleBiker

Fast when they aren't flat

I've had two flats since I bought these tires two months ago.

I was riding to work about 3 times per week on pavement in Seattle. I resolved the first flat by replacing the inner tube and was able to ride for about 3 more days. Then I got a puncture in my tire about 1 mm wide. These tires are great when they work, but are not durable at all.S

Have been riding an old Trek 4300 to and from work. Had some pretty knobby tires that were starting to wear down the center.

Picked these up with some new tubes. Much less rolling resistance, smooth ride. Hologram they hold up, so far no flats.

Bought these for my converted mtb to grocery getter. Excellent roll resistance on these for loaded trips from store.

Thick contact patch and at recommended 86psi lots of traction and fast,Plus they look awesome.

Ive converted an older mountain bike to a bike trail family bike that I pull a trailer with. These tires intrigued me so i thought I'd give them a try. Only have about 100 milea on them but love the ride quality and speed vs a mountain bike or commuter tire! Would buy again as they seem to wear and feel as good as the Michelins i run on my road bike.

I put these tires on an older Specialized Stump Jumper that I use for commuting. They run well and are very quiet but most importantly, they have improved my commute time significantly. The high pressure (87 psi) and low rolling resistance make them perfect for city commuting.

These tires are used for strictley city riding and they are very comfortable, relaible and low maintenance. I have bought several pairs for my bikes. Highly recommend and a tremendous value. The best tire ever was the Continental Touring model made in Germany with the maroon colored sidewalls. I would kill for those!

I have been putting between eight and fifteen miles daily on my mountain bike and decided to try a road type tire when the time came. I found these on sale and being cheap, I decided to try them. I couldn't be happier with my choice. The resistance is way down and the speed way up from the traditional tires I had been using. They also seem to wear very well. I am approaching three hundred miles on them and the casting seam in the center of the tire is still visible. I ride on multi use pathways and roads and as yet have had no flats. I will buy them again when they finally wear out.

Low rolling resistance tire

Put these on a MTB-frame urban bike i put together. Very low rolling resistance, makes hills seem easier. Gotta be real careful on the pressure though, I was running 45psi (seems reasonable???) but was getting tons of pinch flats on moderate speed curb hops. Not acceptable in an urban bike. Running higher now which translates to a rougher ride on broken seattle pavement but so far no flats.

I was enjoying my 5th ride on these until today, just a little shard of glass cut over a half inch out of the tire on the front & the tube was a lost cause. My slime patches were barely enough to cover the slice on the tube & I also used a patch on the inside of the tire do to the size of the slice. I used a dollar bill also in between the tube and tire. luckily I was only 25miles from my vehicle. This tire needs to be more reliable. I have used other Michelin tires for 1000's of miles without issues. My guess is they are cutting corners to make it smooth and this light. It unfortunate, I am not the only only one the web that has also ran into this issue in such a short time frame. I was running the Michelin Sport Pilot's in 26x2.0 prior with no issues had about 6k before replacing with no flats not even once. This tire is 26 x 1.4 and I have only 222miles on it and its done for, arrived home and tire is bulging outwards. What a disappointment. Rise at your own risk.

Ride remains like you're on a mountain bike, comfortable that is. But these tires made my Trek 8000 mountain bike accelerate almost as fast as my Specialized Roubai and can maintain 20 mph easily (replaced 9 speed cassette to 11-26). Changing front ring gears to say 30-38-48 would make this bike perform as well as road bikes. I ride 20-30 miles 5X a week and these tires are just a revaluation. I would like to try the 1.1 inch width Wild Run'R Tire. Probably even a faster tire but a bit more expensive. These are the greatest all around.

Wanted to use an older mountain bike as a winter trainer on the road. Chose these tires and couldn't be happier. Running at 80 psi the rolling resistance is low and the ride is very smooth and quiet. Highly recommend for your 26 inch wheels.
