I found salvation through Michelin tires with the original Pro Race and rode various incarnations exclusively for almost 20 years. Regrettably I decided to try Continentals (GP5000 S TR) for a season. I am back with the Power Cup TLR. These have better feel and grip and are more durable.
I've got about 1200 miles on them and they've been great. They roll fast, and have been very durable until I hit a pothole today and blew out the sidewall of my rear tire (I don't think any race tire would have survived unscathed). Just ordered another one to replace it. If you liked the old GP5000 TL, you'll love these!
Love the Michelin Power series tires- great ride - but found the 28mms difficult to set up on DT Swiss RR411 rims. The bead/rim hook interface isn't great.
I'm really pleased with these tires. They give a nice, fast ride. They were a bit tight when mounting, but nothing the Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack couldn't handle with ease.
Switched out 700 to 650 wheels wider tire and long reach brakes for a softer riding bike on gravel paths.
These were the easiest to mount tubeless tires I've had. Only about 250 miles so far and no complaints.
