Looks good on the bike!

Tires look very good once mounted. They come all folded up and have a mind of their own until you get them on the rim. I am very pleased with the first 400 miles of riding across North Carolina. My week ride ended when I hit a pothole at 22 mph. The tires did not flat, but the rim was bent! Good Tires!

Thank you for your feedback.

Love this tire...durable...long lasting. I've had several sets of these tires...usually put 1000 miles on a pair.

I use these tires on my road-bike. I usually ride them for 700 to 1000 miles and only change them because I know I am supposed to. These tires are durable and roll well! They are great training tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable long lasting tire.

I really like the durability of these tires. I ride on rural roads that are oil and chip (large chips) and are quite rough. I have only had one flat when I was leaning on a turn and hit a piece of gravel. These tires are long wearing too, just replaced my back tire after about three years

Thank you for your feedback.

My Go-To Training Tire

These have been great training tires for me. I can run them at lower pressures and rarely have issues with punctures. The best parts are that they are a great price (half the price of Gatorskins) and mount easily on slightly-oversized rims.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire, affordable price!

Out of the box I like how they seem to set up and seal with less effort than other brands I've tried. I can get almost 1500 miles out of these tires. Great deal for the price.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best bang for your buck

My track bike came with some crappy as Kenda 700x23c tires and they were s. I've had a blowout on my rear which then led to me replacing it with a Vittoria Zaffario. Not the best tire of course but I needed something cheap to get me back riding. A year after, I found a really good wheel set for $50 instead of paying $200 for them. New rims meant having new tires. I was thinking of getting some gatorskins since I've heard really great feedback from them but I found them to be a little pricey . Luckily, I found these Michelins and these are honestly the best tires I've had. I was even able to lower the price of these tires at $14.99!!! They're puncture resistant and I really like how they grip when cornering. They really do dampen up the road when riding )

Thank you for your feedback.

Michelin Lithion 2 Tire is a great tire, have purchased these in the past and do like these and plus the price is right.

I like to start out the new cycling season with new tires and tubes.

Excellent tires!

Besides being excellent tires, I also ordered 700x25 instead of 700x23 for a noticeably better ride. With 19 pounds of less max tire pressure, the choppy vibration on less than smooth roads yielded less strain on the hands and body in general. I am recommending them to my riding partners.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent low rolling resistance tire.

Great tire for the value, so far over 200 miles, no flats, good cornering, nice traction in wet weather. Only down side is the lower tire pressure, at 8.5 bars max, would be nice to increase psi. Tires still look in great shape.

Thank you for your feedback.

My go to training tire

Great value. I train 150-270 miles per week and go through a lot of tires. I got tried of buying expensive ones that lasted a bit longer but got blown out once in a while even when fairly new with metal or other debris on the roads. This tire is perfect for training and even some minimal low key racing

comfortable ride

Bought the 25's which went on smoothly and give a comfortable ride. I'm not sure what others were measuring, but at 90 psi, width and height are exactly 25 mm.

Like this tire. I ride enough that I change tires every year, and this tire is inexpensive but has good tread thickness.
