This tire is one of the best i've used.this is my second set.A little hard to mount the first time(typical for this type of tire).i rotate my tires often and didn't have any trouble.this tire does everything well.Low rolling resistance,smooth,corners well,super grip,great mialage,and sharp looking.After 1500 miles i mounted them on a secondary bike and pushed them as far as they would go.Got 3000 miles out of them.That was with the utmost maintenance.Proper pressure,wiped down after every ride,rotated every 500 miles.Your mialage may vary.Very flat resistant.Would i buy them again?I did

Previously used Michelin Krylion Carbon tires (23 mm width). The Pro4 Endurance tire in grey/black was available only in 25 mm width & ride with a more noticeable rolling resistance comparatively. I haven't put enough miles on them to compare wear/mileage.
Review by Phil
Replaced original tires on wife's bike used mostly for touring use. These tires are lighter and smoother riding than original. Not sure of wear factor but price factor alone justifies their use.
Review by Michael
Probably 3500 miles on 1st set. More mileage left on them, but I changed to start off 2014 on a new set. I think no flats, which is a personal record for mileage, though most of those miles are on the Natchez Trace Parkway, where there is not much debris.
Unless someone tells me of another tire that is better, I will buy another set this year.

I'm been using these about 9 months or about 3,000 miles. Just rotated them because the rear was getting square. So far flats haven't been a problem but then the streets haven't been sanded with the local sharp tiny gravel that plagues us here.
Normally I put on my Gatorskins for the winter but the extra rotating weight of the wire bead is just too annoying. Also I feel more confident in the corners on the Pro 4's.
They are much easier to mount than the Michelin carbons but that might be the difference between 23s and 25s. The latest purchase was to fill out the order for free shipping since I will be using them in the future and the price was right.

I love the way the Pro 4's ride and tired the Pro 4 endurance and could not feel a difference between the two and they last longer.
They give the same feeling of confidence on long, twisty descents as the Pro 4's and even a little more knowing they're more resistant to punctures.

I have been using this tire on both my road bike and my triathlon bike for years. They perform well, are long lasting, and when I was able to get them in various colors, they were sharp looking. Now that I can only find them in black, they are still worth the purchase.

25 size smooths out the bumps and the endurance tire rides like the race model. They still wear quicker than other leading brands such as Continental.

I ride 30-80 miles on the weekend, I am 5'11 245lbs and mainly ride on back country roads that often have gravely shoulders. I got 2500 miles out on the OEM Bontrager Race all weather plus until I got my first flat on a Century ride-so very good overall. Buddies that I ride with suggested, because of my size and road conditions -and looking for a strong tire with low roll resistance, Michelin Pro4 Endurance Tire and it fit the bill. And Bike Tire Direct had the best online price. I have about 500 miles on them now and they smother and quieter than the OEM's. I feel very secure on fast down hills as well as out of the saddle bursts on climbs.
It was the first time I purchased from Bike Tires and it will not be the last. Great selections and more than just tires. On time delivery get goods offers. I installed them myself easily.
Review by BowtoStern
I switched from the Lithion 2to the Pro4 Endurance for the fall season due to the increased debris on the road. I have logged about 500 miles on these and put them through some tough road conditions, including crushed shells, sand, branches, acorns, and all the other debris that falls onto New England fall roads. So far, I haven't noticed any abnormal wear or punctures. I think i prefer the look of the Lithion 2, but as far as durability, the Pro4 Endurance wins hands down.
Review by Brad
Switched to these when the Krylion was discontinued. Pro4 Endurance rides well enough but so far they last about half as long as the Krylion. I ride about 8000 miles a year and would get about 2500-3000 miles on a set of Krylions before surface got flat enough to replace though the tires were still in solid shape. On the Pro4, the colored sidewalls starts cracking and even separating from the main tread as the weld between the tread and sidewall. So far I've been lucky to get about 1200-1500 miles on a pair before I have to replace because of the the cracking and separation, yet with plenty of tread left. I guess I'm more use to this short life in a performance tire versus a training tire.

I've used these tires in their various versions for years. They grip really well and very few flats. BTD has the best prices and fast service.
Review by sashax
So far this tire has been durable and also surprisingly comfortable given its emphasis on endurance.

Good for 1000s of miles of long distance riding.

Works well on Texas roads. Due to smooth tread, probably not so well in the rain, however, haven't tried them in the rain at this point. These well-rated tires are, I believe, not in the current Michelin line-up, which is a shame.
Review by Trisam
I have used several sets of these tires over the years. I like how they feel and I appreciate their durability. I feel like they are strong, yet fast. I generally have them on my triathlon bike, which I train and race on, as well as my road bike, which I generally just train on.
It has been my experience that they are worth the money. I prefer having different colors, but black is good too.

I have gotten good mileage out of these. Bought a set for my other bike.
