MichelinLithion 2 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Great looking tire. Used them

On the RAGBRAI. Rolled smooth. No flats. Good tires.

Doesn't 'stick' too much to the road as many 'training' style tyres do. The weight is comparable to many race tyres and.... (shshshsh, I don't wanna jinx myself) I have not had a flat in two months of commuting to work every day..totally 1200 miles. One of the best trainingstreet tyres for the buck!

These are lively clinchers with average puncture resistance. They need to stretched a little bit on the first mounting.

Good durable training tire

Love these tires, wear like iron ride like silk. Replaced my conti's last year and this tire makes me very happy I flatted last week (Pinch flat)and had to ride ride flat about 300 meters and it handled great. I will order another pair as my lbs does not stock the 25's.

My mechanic turned me onto these. He rode professionally and also worked as a mechanic on one of the continental teams.

He was right ! A year and a half on the same tires and they still look new.

You will love them

I use thie Lithion 2 for winter training and commuting. It's just a great tire all around. My favorite feature is its handling. You can practice harder turns with this tire than you can with similarly priced tires designed for off-season training. In fact, I've used these for early season races and have been pleasantly surprised at how well they perform.

I bought the Michelin Lithion two's knowing that I would get a smooth tire. But I had doubts about its durability. After riding critical mass twice through downtown Miami and putting about a hundred miles on them, and running over many bits of glass this tire has come through without a scratch. I hit a sharp rock and it sounded as if the tire popped, but didn't even phase this tire. Great tire for the Money, the tire wears very slow, even with my fixed gear and has great puncture resistance for the money.

I love these tires. Put them on a new Trek and ROL Racing wheels. Awesome combination!!

I use these for training on a flat bar road bike and I've ridden a pair of these about 3k miles with 2flats. I think that's excellent. Haven't rotated them yet and have plenty of life left on rear tire, front tire looks like new. They're supple and comfortable, but I would have preferred the 25s to the 23s I purchased. As a 185lb rider the extra air in the 25s would be nice.

I loved riding on these tires! They feel so nice on the road and hold the corners really well. Definitely a good tire.

AWESOME

I use a bike instead of a car and living out away from town I can rack up miles just running errands.

The tires handle well and I ride no matter what the weather is. I had been using the Krylon Carbon tires but I am having trouble finding them for a good price and I am trying the Lithion 2s. They handle well in the rain at higher speeds (40 mph on descents), plus in cross winds (20 kts gusting 40 kts). I did have a piece of road trash cut a about a 316 hole in my sidewall and then into the tube. The sidewalls are thin compared to the Carbons, nonetheless, I patched the cut with Gorilla Tape in the inside sidewall and now have a few hundred miles on the tire. The tires still handle great with even with a ugly cut.

This summer I will probably be riding on our normal 135 degrees F surface black top temps and it will be interesting to see how they do. My average miles per year in the last 17 varies from 6500 to 8500 miles a year and most years very little flat riding.

I bought these for deal of day) for a Trek USPS bike I plan to sell, so I haven't ridden them. They look to be a good tire. My only complaint is they are listed at 210g, but when they arrived the Michelin pkg says 220g, & I weighed them at 240g. But for average road riding they look to be a great buy.

Switched over to these tires as I've begun commuting by bike and am not always riding on kind surfaces for a typical road tire. These feel way more stout and puncture resistant than my previous tires, but despite their extra thickness, the ride has been comfortable and I have not noticed much difference from my previous slicks. The only complaint I have is these were a real pain in the ass to get on my rims. Took me a lot longer than previous tires to get them on and took all my strength and lever action to finally get them in place. Once on, they fit great - needless to say they are a tight fit. I hope they are as puncture resistant as they claim, because these will not be fun to fix while out on the road.

I have used the brand on my cars for many years. Cycling being a newer obsession I added them to my cycling gear. The Lithion 2 Tire I feel performs extremely well under many conditions. Durable and light for a reasonable price.

The Lithion 2 has decent flat resistance. It allows for a good road feel, and gives a comfortable ride. It's not a race weight tire, but it performs well in club ride situations. At 180 lbs, I'm no lightweight but can ride a pair of these for over 2,500 miles without a thought.

Bought these tires about 5 months ago and I've put about a 1000 miles into them.

No flats and good grip. Also, I've been running lower pressures (80-90 psi) reliably.

Good performance tires and a great value. Would rate 5 but it needs at least another 1k miles to earn it.

I wouldn't race on this tire but it's a great tire that's reasonably fast and puncture resistant. Good looking tire too with color options for matching, if you're into that.

These tires are very smooth on the road. I can also put them on my rims without tools.

Not too good in puncture resistance! I flatted 15 miles into my first ride on them and 5 miles into my second. I only ride my road bike on streets and maintained bike paths
