I ride 200 mileswk. and find these tires very reliable and durable, particularly when you run them at lower pressure than the suggested 116 PSI. Very rarely get flats. I inflate to 88 front and 90 rear.
I do a lot of self-supported century-plus rides. I carry a lot a gear to save myself. I've best success with these tires. They give me the most confidence of any tire I've used. I've been riding them since they came out, so a lot of experience. I've had tires that were a little better feel, but not the durability. That being said, nothing is perfect. I carry one spare tire. I ride year round if the roads are dry (no snowice) and it's above freezing. This past summer I had to call for a ride home for the first time in my life (I'm 71), sliced one rear tire and tube on road debris at 5 miles, and again at 26 miles. Done for the day and calling for help. Roads here range from great to terrible and you need to keep yours eyes peeled all the time. Never saw the 1st one, couldn't avoid the 2nd.
But riding 5000 miles a year, I can't complain. I find the tread wear is very good IF I can avoid road damage, I've gone over 5500. This is on 23s. I'm trying out 25s next to see if they'll survive the roads better.
Best all around training tire I have ever used. I run a 28 with latex tubes on my Hed Ardennes and they are super comfy. The profile of the tire is a big U shaped creating an excellent profile for cornering and handling. They are a little heavy for competition on perfect roads, but if your roads are in terrible shape like mine locally, you'll love this tire. Flat resistant as I pick out pieces of glass after every ride. Good value when you find them on sale.
Rolls easier than my other tires. I have about 100 miles on them now, no problems so far, seems to have good traction.
On the rear of a recumbent Catrike 700. Wears handles well. Best tire i have tried so far on the rear.
Tire light enough for race day but durable enough for winter training, it lasts, looks good, handles wet weather terrifically, no problem getting out of the saddle on climbs on wet roads. What more could you ask for?
Road bike tire for my training rides and charity events. It went on my wheel with not much trouble.
Good durable everyday training tire. I run them lower than Max PSI (about 90) and very rarely get flats.
This review is for the Pro4 ENDURANCE!
Handling and puncture performance are comparable to the much more expensive Conti GP4000s II tire. The only area that this tire lags behind is that it's not quite as durable. However, for the price, you can buy 3 of these for 2 GP4000s II tires. You'll ride a lot more for the same money on the Endurance.
This is my tire of choice. Handles and rides much better than Gatorskin and Armadillo tires. Grips and corners about the same as the GP4000s II. Goes on and off the wheel with ease. Decent puncture protection and wet performance for the price.
really like the pro4 endurance for fast training. they roll good and seem to get less flats & last longer than other tires i've tried.
They provide a very comfortable ride. Better than I expected
You can't beat the value for this tire. Aside from the tremendous price-point, it is a great tire to ride on. Right now I am just using the set to get through the winter and so far, they have been great for all-around riding . If I like them enough, I will get another set in the spring once the race season is in full swing.
these tires were a replacement for the Bontenger tires that came with my TREK. I noticed increased speed and stability. Cornering grip is terrific.
Used for road cycling and triathlon events.
I average about 200-miles-a-month, on paved city and county bike trails. Have had these tires for almost two years on my road bike. They've rode well, but have averaged about 5 to 6 flats each year with these tires.
My first ride with these new tires resulted in a flat on both wheels..Im sorry to say the tires are very thin and wont protect
from punctures.
Wish I did more reaearch
This is an excellent tire (700x25), first ride was exceptional, smooth ride and oddly enough certainly seemed faster...still have my previous tire Michelin Pro4 700x23, thinking maybe the 700x25 will be my new road tire...DW
Road cycling Hopefully lasting 1500 miles.
This is a great tire to put some mega mileage on. Used this while training for Ironman Los Cabos. Very puncture resistant which is important to me since a lot of the roads near me tend to have a lot of debris on them. This tire also looks sharp!
I've been running Michelin Pro4 Endurance tires on my bike for most of this season and have been very pleased. They have great grip, roll smoothly and are the best tires I've had for flat protection.
