MichelinProtek 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

these are non performance tires for a bike that rides around town.

Ride over lots of rough rocks, shards of glass broken in the street. Haven't had a puncture yet. Great traction and expect them to last!

I finally replaced my very old oversized tires on Bridgestone commuter bike with these Michelin Protek tires. They handle well and seem sturdy!

Nice tires - ride smoothly. Extra tread will reduce flats from debris on urban roads. These were heftier than the original road tires so required a bit of maneuvering to install - had to deflate then inflate once mounted on bike but they did fit.

I've had these tires on my daily commuter for the last 5 weeks and I love them. They roads here in Nashville are garbage and these tires have held up to the daily punishment of them. They're solid in the wet and don't kick up too much of a rooster tail. I would definitely buy these again, and will when they wear out.

Been running the 38mm tires for 19 months, it has made a world of difference compared to the OEM set! After about 800 miles of mostly pavement with some gravel, not even 1 puncture or even a flat! The tires have stayed on the rims since I first put them on. However, recently (800 miles) they have developed a bulge with torn threads on the sidewall which will surely blow out soon. Was hoping for a longer lifespan, but they were great while they lasted.

Holds up to everyday use. 22miles per day

These are smooth,Comfortable rolling tires that add a comfort level that will amaze your bike.Pretty fast Tires and Durable protection.Reflective sidewalls are Bright at night.Tire fits the size without a strain to mount.I sell a lot of used,nice hi-end HybridsCity bikes and are my go-to replacements.They do everything well.

Love Michelin tires but the Protek didn't meet my expectations for this quality manufacturer. Bought a set of 700cX28mm for Winter road riding for the gravel bike. One is still going strong at 1800 miles, the other blew out the sidewall after about 1500 miles while on a local century ride. Had some difficulties getting the tires to mount and seat on tubeless rims using tubes as well.

This is the 2nd set of these tires true to size just plain good tires

Got a set of these for $XXX each on the daily special, an unbelievable steal. I'm riding the 40mm 7 days a week for about 6 months now. I can' say enough good about these tires except I'd replace them again at full price in a heartbeat. I like to over inflate all my tires, rock hard. They roll great and track really good on turns, and off road. They mount easy, and have lived through a brutally hot summer here in S.C. on chip-seal roads well over 100 degrees carrying 230 pound loads with ease. These could be the best tires I have EVER rode staying in the moderately priced tire range. I weigh about 175 and carry tools and groceries regularly. I can't believe these got ANY negative reviews, take those with a grain of salt. Or did I get the best set ever made?

I enjoyed these tires for about 1,000mi with no issues.

Afterwards, I started experiencing issues with gunshot flats, just a sudden loud pop. It happened no matter what kind of tubes I installed. While I never quite found the issue causing this, I noticed the stitching by the wire bead coming loose, and I saw my tube protruding from the tire. I had to get rid of the tires. There is a chance that the wire bead became exposed.

This may have been a fluke, otherwise I would be giving it much lower ratings. I still trust Michelin, so don't rule this tire out if you're on a budget. Otherwise, maybe go for the higher end models of this tire.

I needed a cheap set of tires and these fit the bill. They tend to feel soft and the tread is not very deep so these probably won't be the best if you do a lot of miles or skids. Overall, a pretty good tire for the price.

This tire is a great street tire and I like the reflective strip on the side walls, we all need to be seen on the road.

Measured with digital calipers. I have been using Michelin City Tires for a few years. Great tires.

I put these on our tandem replacing 28mm tires that we've used for years. I was a little skeptical of the 35mm but as it turns out they ride and roll better on our roads than my previous slick road tires. The 35mm works a little better on some of our chip & seal roads. They also work well on crushed stone trails.

I've been riding a pair of these for about 6 months 5 days a week and I have only good things to say. Good traction in wet or dry, with no flats so far, even with with post storm junk all over the road. I switched to Michelin after another brand gave me sidewall failures. I couldn't be happier.

I ride about 75 miles per week, nothing major, but enough to enjoy how these tires roll. Between the two bikes, this is my fifth Michelin pro tech tire purchase. I have never had an issue and will continue to purchase. I typically replace these tires every 2 to 3 years. Bike tires direct customer service is great and I've always had positive experiences buying online and picking up at the Portland location.

The 40 mm wide tire is actually 46 mm. I measured this several times with my calipers. My touring frame can handle up to 42 mm and the product description says that larger sizes are 2 mm wider, so I figured that I would be safe with the 40 mm. At 75 PSI the tire is just begins to rub on my frame. Once again, this is what I get for going cheap.

Three years ago I went small to 700-35 Kenda Kwest and wore them out with my 240 pounds on coarse,HOT pavement here in Southwest Florida.Was not the tire's fault,but I switched to the Michelin Protek because they were on sale and I wanted reflective stripe for night riding.I went bigger with 700-40 and had to trim my rack for clearance but what a difference.Ride is great and rolling resistance was noticeably reduced.Next time I might try the Protek cross max for more tread.One of the new tubes was defective and Bike Tires Direct sent me another one right away with no hassle.After 200 miles I am still very happy with the product and the service from Bike Tires Direct..Happy riding.
