MichelinProtek 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

I've been using Michelin tires for years and have never had a tire failure (or even a flat tire) over the thousands of miles my wife and I have ridden. These tires are mounted on our converted Mountain/Touring bikes, hauling 35 to 50 extra pounds of gear with no problem. I also like the small reflective band that goes around each side of the tire. Very noticeable at night, which we do a lot of riding in the evenings/night. It's a good tire!

We have used these for years for everyday riding. These work well on every day roads, good considering the cracks and potholes. Also fat enough to work fine in sandy areas of the parks and on the edge of the beach.

The newer version of these tires run wider than labelled 40 mm vs 38 mm size. The newest version is Ebike certified which now raised the max inflation.

The Michelin Protek tire is the best value for my hybrid bike. Each day after work, I ride twenty miles During the .winter months, half of my ride is in the dark and sometimes in wet conditions. I have peace of mind knowing that cars can see me because of the reflective sidewall; they have excellent channeling of rainwater and high puncture resistance. Not too difficult tire to mount, a durable tire at a great price. My go-to tire for my hybrid.

I ride daily on asphalt trails and highway shoulders. Mostly trails. I record daily for both front and rear mileage as the rear tires generally wear out sooner. The 700x28 hybrid bike tire is fabulous. No punctures. Tread still showing. I'm really amazed at the mileage and tread life on these tires. I bought two additional for that down the road replacements. Highly recommended. Same goes for Bike Tires Direct. Excellent customer service

This tire is on my winter bike that accommodates wider tires for additional stability while cornering and riding on paved roads that may be wet, have irregular surfaces or various types of impediments (leaves, twigs) strewn on the pavement.

I am completely satisfied with these tires. They roll well, the ride is comfortable and they fell stable while cornering.

Installed a pair of these on a 21 year old Trek I picked up. Required a little bit of finessing to install (had a little trouble with getting the valve part of the tube inside the tire during mounting (the tire wouldn't completely seat until I removed and remounted the tire.

Once installed, I'm impressed with how smoothly these roll. Only have about 50 miles on them so far, but will probably buy more for other bikes in the family.

The reflective stripe is a plus.

These tires are smooth riding but maybe not the lowest rolling resistance. Overall they are good budget tires and no regrets buying them.

Runs great and looks good too. Nice road feel and not blocky or rigid feeling. I run these on a 1100w Cannondale BadBoy at 60 psi front and 66 rear. Handles grass, sand, urban chunky streets, and WOT runs sustained at 35mph no problem. I also like that this tire doesn't sing and doesn't feel heavy even though it weighs a little more. I've never had a thorn in 1500 miles so ProTek works good on and off road. Can't say that about Kenda and Conti urban bike tires.

I just moved to a new location that has a bike trail close by. Inspecting my "old tires" I saw the evidence of "dry rot"..... That said, I decided that some new tires & tubes would be required for the newer, higher speed conditions. I like Michelin products and have them on all of my vehicles, so why not give them a try on my road bike? The tires were fairly easy to install and yielded a SMOOTHER RIDE! The "reflective band" on the side of the tires make them kind of cool looking as well. Peace of mind and money well spent!

I've run this tire (28mm) on the front wheel of an 80's Motobecane Grand Jubilee. Measuring 29 mm at 80 PSI, it is wider than any other "28mm" tire I've tried. I liked the extra width up front to traverse over road imperfections but it seemed a bit heavy. I've since switched it to the rear and put a lighter tire up front. I feel the Protek will perform well in the rear. In the few miles I rode it, I experienced no flats. If you don't care much about the weight, it's a good choice. I plan on using it on the newly finished Rock Island Trail east of Kansas City. I have high hopes for it there as well as elsewhere around the city.

I bought these Michelin Protek tires and Airstop A3 tubes to replace a set of Michelin Transworld City tires and tubes on my Trek 7300 bicycle. I was thoroughly satisfied with the performance and long service of the tires I am replacing, which is why I chose another set of Michelin tires and tubes.

This was my first experience with BikeTiresDirect, and I was impressed by the quality of service, the price of the products, and the speed of delivery.

The price was very good and it made a good replacement for my daughter's 25 year old bike that she still rides today. She loves the bike and I upgraded it with new tires and other parts but these Tires surpassed my expectations. The first set of tires I ordered were too big because the markings on the old tires called for 28" tire and that was what I ordered initially. I asked BikeTiresDirect support for recommendations. They educated me on the right size I needed (700C). I found these on sale and they fit perfectly. Like all tires, getting them on the rim to fit correctly took a few tries but that is expected with all tires. The bonus is the reflective stripe on the side wall. With the reflective strip on the side wall, I removed the reflectors in the spokes which made the bike look out of date. But with these tires it looks fresh. My daughter is loving it more than before. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good quality tire at a great price.

Nice and smooth ride

I used this on gravel bike for road during storm season. Worked well, but reduced grip when wet.

Great tires, great price, fast shipping, what more could you want...

The tire runs smooth and is very quiet on trails. Mounted easily and seems like a good tire. It also runs true, and I really like the reflective stripe. Nice tread pattern. I trust the Michelin brand name on my SUV too. I would have paid extra for the Max with more anti flat protection if buying another but, for this sale price it was hard to pass up.

In 80,000 miles of cycling I've never had a worse experience. These tires are nearly impossible to mount & remove. Had 7 flats in 3 weeks after installing these tires. They are going in the trash & I will purchase something else.

You would not put these on a road bike to spin on long rides, but if you are a commuter, or riding on short trips and busy streets these are great tires that can stand up to the potholes. Best part are the reflective sidewalls and the price. Plus they are a name brand,

This tire has been fantastic so far except for getting a couple of flats. It was easy to install, rolls easily, and is easy to dismount to repair flats. Value for price is very high. I would consider buying this again. I've yet to have a bicycle tire that never had a flat.
