Description The Toughest Tire In the Pro4 Lineup
The Michelin Pro4 Endurance Tire offers the ultimate combination of performance and durability. Taking over for the storied Krylion model, the Pro4 endurance has a lively ride quality and lightweight construction for superior performance on race day, along with the wear resistance and puncture protection of a hearty training tire.
The Endurance features a dual-compound tread with softer shoulders for incredible cornering grip even in wet weather as well as a longer wearing center strip. Bead-to-bead puncture protection directly beneath the rubber wards off flats. Rounding out the package is a 110 TPI casing that further combines supple ride quality with flat resistance.
Michelin understands that you don't just want a tire that reduces flats. You also need it to go fast. While the advanced protection brings with it a smidgeon more weight compared to the Pro4 Service Course, these tires are still light enough for the climbs. Michelin's BiCompound adds to the speed with a more rigid center for high durability, low rolling resistance, and just the right grip for stable braking on dry and wet roads. At the shoulder, a slightly stickier rubber provides extra grip for sweeping through corners, wet or dry.

Bead to bead puncture resistance for base mile durability

In terms of rolling resistance, durability, road feel, AND not spending $xxx per tire, look no further. Great value for how much tire you get. I have gone through quite a few of these Fairly easy to seat. And I haven't had a problem with punctures. It's fairly easy to see when you need to replace the rear as you'll start to pick up small cuts and can see that clear flattening where the rubber meets the road. I have had luck using super glue to cover small cuts in new-ish tires (though I know other recommend things like shoe goo). I also will rotate the front, less-used tire into the rear, then put a new one on the front. Solid in the wet and exceptional stopping power when emergency braking. Just wish they made a tubeless version of this tire!

Installed easily, smooth ride, I'm faster on these at the beginning of the '23 season than I was on Krylion 2 Endurance at the end of the '22 season. I've been riding 1200-1300 miles a year, and I own one bike (English, 531 from 1973, and I'm a lot older than the bike) so I don't buy a lot of tires. These are the best I've had. I like the compromise between performance and puncture prevention of the Krylion 2s, so I believe I'll like the compromise of the Pro 4s.

goes the distance on the front
by Wally
Cycling Enthusiast

I'm 76, ride for distance, solo, 5000 miles per yr, lots of centuries.
I used many, many different tires and have come to rely on the Pro4 Endurance as my go to FRONT tire.
I know this can be very subjective, but in my experience is this is the most reliable front tire to get me home w/o flatting. Or worse, cutting/blowout. There are a lot of bad roads and debris out there.
You will notice I specify front. I have found different behavior/types of flats between front and rear, and use different tires on the rear..

Riding these for years on 2 bikes. Get well over 2k miles per tire. Easy on and off. Seldom flat unless I run them thru sharp debris. Good traction in corners. Using 25mm on carbon race bike and feel the ride is smooth enough.

I have been using these tires on my road bike for over 4 years and they are the best for avoiding flats.
by Spring

They originally came in 700 X 23 with red sidewall. I bought them because they made my bike look good. When the red sidewall was no longer offered in my size, I had to go to black. But despite the cosmetic disappoint, they are best tire I have ever used and allow me to ride without being constantly concerned with flats. The tire bead is really tight, and I have a hard time getting the tire off and on with arthritic hands. I carry Park tire irons, and I do mean irons, with me when I ride by myself to insure that I can change the tire if needed by myself. Have never needed them since I got the irons. These are the best tires, and I can count on them to go at least 1,000 miles before they start to look ratty.

I installed a set of Pro 4's on my Synapse to improve the comfort of the ride. They provided me with good grip, and a more forgiving ride, as they seem to absorb the road cracks.

I have used Michelin Pro4 for some years. A great all around tire. I recently sized up from 700x23 to 700x25 and found a number of clearance issues. The 25 width profile is closer to 28mm than 25mm which created clearance problems on my Cervelo bikes. Also the vertical profile is higher that another brand and found a frame rubbing conflict. May bikes are older, so maybe new Cervelo's have larger clearances. Anyway a check when mounting is a good thing.

Decent tire
by Bob J

1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.
Rolling resistance seems to be acceptable. They aren't the most comfortable tires I have ridden but I guess that's the trade off for the "Endurance". I haven't put on enough miles to determine life span. So far no flats.
Value is difficult to determine. Price increases of most tires have exceeded the value. Remember 2 years ago?

I have put about 1100 miles without a flat!!! I also have a friend (man of integrity) that works at Michelin...he said that a cyclist team tested the Pro series tires and found them to use 20% less wattage than the nearest competitor....I can testify that the tires (Pro 4 Endurance Tires) are incomparable in every area...and no need to remove for a race....

Michelin pro4 endurance tires are excellant !! I bought a pair of these and started to ride on them the beginining of October 2021. They are still on my wheels and have put 3000 miles on these tires, on rough rural roads in Texas, USA. They are just great tires. I was using the Conti Gator tires which are very good. I switch to the Michelin to check them out. These are my new go to tires. The Gators are good but seem to be heavier. I get better response from the Endurance tires and like their grippy feeling. I like them so much I have purchsed another pair of them. I will come back and update this as I feel they will last for quite some time. They are a good buy, I am pleased to say Michelin has come through again!

I have been riding Michelin tires for over 25 years, When Michelin came out with the Endurance tire I tried them and really like them I very seldom have a flat and I get about 2,500 miles of wear. Last year I rode about 7,200 miles and had two flats.When the rear is worn out, i put the front tire on the back and a new tire on the front. They aren't as sticky as a pure race tire, but they last a lot longer and are much more resistant to road debris.

Good tire
2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.
I'm still very early into my usage of these tires and have not owned them before. Initially they feel very grippy given the lack of any tread pattern. They even picked up every spec of dust and hair on my garage floor on my way out for the first ride. I bought them for the reported combination of puncture resistance and low rolling resistance. I hadn't noticed them to roll any faster than my old gatorskins yet, but this could be my fault, as I think I need to run them a bit higher PSI. Got a good deal and quick delivery from Western. Very pleased with them.

Poor flat protection
by Anonymous
Competitive Racer
Portland, OR
Started off as a really good tire with a smooth ride and plenty of dry condition grip. But I've been very frustrated with it as of late - having gotten 6 flats in the last 8 rides (all in different tire location both front and back). With endurance in the name I thought it would also have good flat protection. I regret this purchase and would not recommend these tires.

Great road tire

I switched from Continental 500 tires to the Michelin Pro4 Endurance this season. They have great road feel in all conditions. I was a bit nervous on their grip in wet conditions but they proved themselves in a downpour with no slipping. With about 3000 miles and no flats I�m happy.
