Michelin Protek Cross 700c Tire

I've used these on my commuter for 16 months and over 1200 miles.

They roll fast, stop fast, are surprisingly sticky for a tire in this price range and I haven't had one flat since mounting them. And while acknowledging I should have replaced them 300 miles ago, I did not expect to have the sidewall completely blowout on a 40 mph decent.

Fortunately I didn't go down, but I did have to walk my bike 4 miles back to my shop as a tire change was not an option.

I've read a few other reviews where the sidewalls have been at issue and with far less mileage then I'd logged. I'd be curious if those who'd experienced a similar failure purchased their tires from the same lot as mine which was 2422578151.

If not for that one questionable issue, I'd have given these a 5 star rating hands down!

I am mainly a road cyclist. On occasion I will ride a path with dirt and some loose gravel. I bought these tires to let me do just that.

After riding with them on my bike, I find that not only do I still have the nice smooth ride that my last Michelin tires gave me, but I also feel that on the path. There's no slipping, and I get the same confident feeling.

Material appeared to be good quality. Grips the road well. Had to install one tire twice because I had the tread facing the wrong way. Easy to install, flexible. Had several compliments on the look of them.

After a tiny sharp rock punctured my front tire, I decided to upgrade. A paved trail I ride is being used in an erosion control project wherein large rocks are trucked over sections of the path. Consequently, a lot of small rock chips fall on the path. My new Michelin ProTek Cross tires are totally up to that challenge, and give a really smooth and fast ride. The center of the tread rides like a road tire, but they can handle plenty of off road action too!

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.

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.

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.

Ive put these on about 35 bikes.Repair business,no more Flats.Better tires than most bikes come new with.Fast rolling,cushy ride,Deep tread that rolls fast.85lbersjust right,75lbsstill hard,but rides improved.65 for off road.55lbs for mushy mud.Michelins run 1.5mm larger,Tall tread when aired up.Watch frame clearance.Ive found out the 35mm fits most 35mm applicationsreplacements in the frame wFenders.35mm is my Favorite.

I repair a lot of bikes. I always like these for the ride, protection and great hands-on only fit. Reflective stripe is bright 200ft or more. Rolls really well pumped up. Start at 65-70lbs.No squirm under hard braking.

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.

These tires are great on road where I primarily use them. No complaints!

Put them on a fitness bike to do gravel paths and such. Also smoothed out the ride on the road from the "road tire" I had before. Not trying to win a peloton or anything, so works for me

Great tires I've used for a long time. Not sure I would use any other. Very comfortable ride, great grip for a more confident ride. I can't beat them for the money!

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.

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.

Decent 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.

Really like these tires for my commute

Used to replace OEM Giant tires that were prone to getting repeated flats, roll & ride definitely improved.
