Had several sets Pro 3 that were prefect. Try 2 sets of pro 4 and the last set had bad sidewalls. Usually got about 1000 miles per set. Now trying Pro 4 endurance.

Good value on sale price. No flats yet but only a few hundred miles so far.
Review by Jim C
I seem to be surrounded by poor pavement, whether in the City or the back roads around here. Smooth pavement is so rare! And then there is debris of all kinds. So, I need a tire that is versatile and tough, but not real heavy. This is the ticket. Tried others, love this tire!

Would have been 5 stars, but they are a bit tight getting on to the rims. I'm not sure if this is a bad rim/tire combo or if the tyres are just a bit on the neat side for fitting standard rims. Would be interesting to hear if anyone else had this issues. Other than that these are fine.

These tire are working great and look great. I love the color strip to match my bike. I did have a hard time getting them on my rims.
Review by Racerrrr
I mostly train with the ProRace series of tires and the previuos Pro3 was a complete disappointment in terms of wear and durability. The Pro4 provided the virtues of the earlier Pro2 with better grip and slightly better wear. Now the Pro4 Endurance is a step in the right directionthe grip of the regular Pro 4 coupled to better longevity....

They feel great, excellent rolling resistance. Compared to my old tires, the acceleration was quite noticeable. Have yet to experience them in a good rain so I can't speak to that. I will be buying these again.
Review by B-Man
Seem to be good tires had one flat on a rainy day after about 50 miles in not to bad. Seem to handle well.
Review by Mark K
After approx. 200 miles these tires are working as expected. Traction seems fine, seem to be durable, resistance is minimal.

I purchased 2 of the Michelin Pro4's and one of the tires is GREAT...the other has gone through 3 Tubes already 2 tubes while just standing on its own and not riding, the other while riding. For some reason the tire does not clinch to the rim by the stem and lifts when inflated...this causes the tube to be exposed and eventually a blow out. I am looking to give it another try...but my cheap Serfas tires survived 2000 miles without any issues at all and I am thinking I should just return to those.

Great tires have a couple thousand KM on them no flats which is great on the lousy road conditions in Quebec. Good grip in the corners and all in all I am very satisfied.

I have used Michelin Carbon Kyrlons for the past couple of years and these tire feel much better (comfortable). Part of that might be that I have also switched to a 25mm width. This last winter I used Gator Skins but unfortunately I ordered the wire bead. So the Pro4s appear to take less effort.
I have on hill I descend hit 40 mph into a smooth 90 degree turn. These tires give a lot of confidence under that circumstance.
I only have used them a couple of hundred miles so I have no idea on the wear.
Review by Doug_74
These tires have a very good life with little sacrifice in performance. I ride year round putting on about 8,000 miles. I am pretty rough on tires and I am impressed that these last a full year of riding. These tires even with several cuts from metal and glass last and wont leave you road side because of a tire failure. I give my highest recommendation to these tires as a training tire.
Review by Carbonfiberboy
Running the 25c on our tandem at 120 psi. We are always looking for a better tire. This is the best so far. Very resistant to cutting, yet holds well in the wet and rolls fast. That's a tough combination to find. Would make a very good distance tire on a single at a lower pressure.
Review by CAAD10_Dan
If you need a tough training tire that rolls fast enough, handles well, and gives you 1500 miles of uninterrupted use, grab these tires (Background I'm 180 lbs, average 4-500 miles a month in Eastern Pennsylvania, and ride fast enough, with some hills, sprints, and hard TT efforts. I don't race anymore but if I did I'd leave these tires on for training races).
I've been a Vredestein snob, but the Michelin Pro4 Endurance has won me over. While it doesn't quite match the Vred's slick feel, it still handles and rolls well. It's a solid, fast tire. It even mounts easily. I can wholeheartedly recommend these tires to any road cyclist.
Review by BikerJoe
No flats so far (300 miles) at 205 lbs. I would buy again at the discounted price. Look sweet. Handles well, grippy. Not the fastest tire, but decent. It's fast though if you consider no flats.
Review by msterns
I have been using the Michelin Pro4 and its predecessor for over seven years now, and love the durablity, handling and even the red stripe that matches my bike. Training in any conditions and triathlons are all within my range of activities. My annual fall tire change has become somewhat of a ritual, in with the new tire and out with the old! It would be nice if there were a way to recycle bike tires, because I hate to toss these things in the trash.

Review by Awrite
I have already put 500 miles on my 2 Michelin PRO4 Endurance tires. I haven't had any problems with the tires. Rather, compared to my old Hutchinson Equinox tires, they give me a smoother ride, and since the recommended tire pressure (114 psi) for my weight is higher than the Hutchinson tires I had (105 psi), there is less rolling resistance and, therefore, adds a bit more to the speed with the same effort. Now, the only thing I'm waiting to see with the Michelin tires is whether they last as long as my old Hutchinson Equinox tires which have approximately 3000 miles on them and are still good to be used as spares. The Michelins are installed on my Tommaso Velocita road bike, and I use my bike as a workout tool putting from 20 - 30 miles per ride, 5 to 6 times per week on the average.

I use this tire on the mountain roads of Colorado. I wanted a tire that can handle the harsh road conditions typical of this area. After 400 miles, the Pro4 Endurance has been a great wearing and riding tire. Michelin continues to make a quality product.
Sounds like the base of the valve is getting underneath the tire and pushing the bead out of place. One thing to try is seating that portion of the tire first to help get the base of the valve to sit inside the tire, rather than under the bead.
We've been in touch with you about this issue and, in addition to our troubleshooting tips, it might be a good idea to visit a local shop to ensure that your rim is in good shape and that you are seating the bead properly.
Thanks,
