I am making a used Surly disc long haul trucker my own. These tires are the right size for the road or if I want to go off the beaten path. I have only been on paved roads so far and they seem to role well. Mine are the 35's on a 700 wheel. They are directional and must be mounted correctly. They went on the wheel about like most other tires I have mounted on these wheels, I needed tire tools to get them on.
Made it from Cumberland, MD to Washington DC on these tires. Encountered lots of rocks, branches and mud, Absolutely no worries. Great traction and comfort.
I was getting flats too often, now with Michelin Protek Cross no flats thus far, grippy, safe feeling and still low rolling resistance.
I ride mostly on side of paved roads and paved bike trails which have loose dirt and gravel at some areas.

This tire is perfect for the store and pecan hunting. I ride mostly on but occasionally off road and these tires just eat it up! I've got about 700 miles on them with little signs of wear, and only in the rear tire. At under $XXea. buy them by the 12 dozen. I'm riding the 40mm, I like a good thick tire, they roll good. I always try to inflate to the max. They are cushy and bouncy, they look great too. I haven't found anything yet not to like about these tires.
I ride 4+ miles, 5 days a week and say - what is not to like?
So fantastic having such a great shop close by. Thanks again.
The tire works well on commuting road and crushed limestone trails.
Does not handle the pressure needed for an ebike, so they should not be branded as an ebike

So far, I am satisfied with these tires I am using for my hybrid.
As it is still early in the season here in New England, I haven't had a chance to yet use off road.
My bike mechanic installed the tires and of note, he mentioned they were difficult to seat on the rims so I don't expect to change a flat by myself. Hopefully, I won't need to!
I've had these on for over a month now and I'm super happy with them. They're on my very heavy, bombproof commuter that I ride daily everywhere, including the alleyways in Portland so my young kids can experience "gravel." The install was super easy, they've been trouble free, and I would definitely buy them again. The price is right, they're durable, and they're easy to install. Outfit your commuter bike today!
The product is good but if you need something soon, better shop somewhere else. My latest order, shipped usps priority has been sitting in limbo for several days. Not happy.
The Michelin Proteck Cross tire is a very durable and comfort riding tire for my Colnago Impact flat bar gravel bike. For riding road and trail surfaces I find this tire a highly reliable. It is a very grippy tire in tight turns and offering a fast rolling performance. This is a winner tire IMHO.
I ride 40 miles a day on Chicago streets. I'm on my second set of these tires (first set on another bike). They are very comfortable and almost impervious to glass. Great tires.
Loves these tires. All around perfect for pavement and works equally well on gravel
Fantastic tire for all my retro mods.
First time user of ProtexCross. So far so good, on my Giant Roam hybrid, no complaints. Got them on sale!
500 hundred miles into a tour from Portland to San Francisco the sidewall separated from
the bead. These were new tires when i started the tour with maybe 100 miles on them.
Lucky for me that I had brought a folding spare tire.
These handle great on problem roads. Gravel ridden winter bike lanes, glassy areas, no problem. One of my routes had a diversion that led me into thoseunincorporated non paved roads. I was glad I was in the bike with these tires. You do want to check your tire pressure. If they get a little soft you will kill yourself trying to get them to roll. They don't grip hills as well as my smooth road tires, I have to work alot harder to get up them, but hey, better workout, right? I got the 35's, which is what came on my bike, but these are bigger and I couldn't fit my fenders. You will not make any freinds with the amount of spray these give off on wet roads. I've been riding without fenders on these for a while, and I've had enough. I'm sizing down to get my fenders back on. Otherwise, given the mixed terrain and conditions I face in my declining city, I think these are the best trade off for security. I've been on them for 4 months now and not a single flat. Even though I've ridden over glass, gravel, branches, other things strewn in the bike lane. I always avoid the stuff when I can, but most often it's not possible.
