A perfect fit for my TREK bike.

Good option to replace the hybrid road/mountain bike tires. Good for street and light off road use.

Thank you for your feedback.

I was looking for tires to replace the tires i wore out on my Trek 4300, and these tires are fantastic. Extremely free rolling on pavement and amazing off road,where I ride this bike most. Couldn't be happier!

Thank you for your feedback.

A great tire for around town and gravel biking

Bought these tires for my 'town bike', which I've since converted to a gravel bike (by switching out the handlebar & adding panniers). Just did the 109 mile gravel bike tour of the Michelson Trail in South Dakota. The tires did great on the packed gravel surface!

Thank you for your feedback.

Rugged, well built tire

Great tread design and tough all around tire. Has a sharp look to it as well.

The one caveat is that the tires are quite a bit heavy. For a pure street bike, I'd look elsewhere. But if you spend considerable time on pavement and in light gravel, these are an excellent choice!

Thank you for your feedback.

Really good tires, great deal.

Im getting back into cycling at 58. These

tires can be pumped up to 80 psi. Which gives me the most production for my efforts. They handle great (black top) ride nice, good service. Five stars.

Thank you for your feedback.

Roboust tire, nice

I like their size and the way they run on the crushed lime road, not terribly grippy but it gives you some warning on how far you can go on the wet road, so I like it!

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tires

The tires are great - just what I wanted, but most important was that I had doubts about the fit and the ordering support I got on the phone was outstanding.

Thank you for your feedback.

High quality tire fits my needs

This tread design is very adaptable to road conditions. I am wary of any slick flat tread designs because of the frequent wet weather in my town, but these tires have adequate grip. Easy to install. I trust the Michelin brand.

Thank you for your feedback.

Michelin Protek tire is an excellent choice

Michelin Protek Cross 26 tire- is an excellent choice because it's durable, rides smoothly and attracts the eye which is good for safety. Its very good value for the money and a long lasting tire.

Great compant to deal with.

Replaced 2 inch wide tires rated for 60 with these tires. The new tires are rated for 87 p.s.i. I am currently running 80 p.s.i. in the tires. I have logged around 80 miles in the last week. The tires have great grip, but are also very smooth and quiet. I would highly recommend these tires. I do not ride at night, but the reflective sidewalls look great on a black bike.Jazz

Seems like a great tire for gravel riding.

Don't have much experience with it yet but it seems to roll pretty well on pavement and still give good traction on gravel on a 26" hardtail MTB.

Thank you for your feedback.

Look great, Fit great and Wear great

I got these at a great price and didn't have very high expectations. I was really surprised with the quality, the fit and, so far, they wear like iron. The reflective pinstripes are nice, too

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent Street Tires without the worry of punctures!

I mostly used this tire for City riding and average 15 mile daily. I have only had these tires for a few months and always have had a smooth & fast ride. So far I have not found anything that I dislike about these tires!

Thank you for your feedback.

Michelins just as good on a bike as an automobile.

I use these Michelins on a Fuji bike. I like everything about them. These Michelin bike tires are far superior to other brand tires just like Michelin & Nokian automotive tires are to other brand automotive tires. I ride primarily on resurrected rail trails and these are great.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice smooth ride

Replace knobby tires on wife's Mtn Bike. These tires are pretty substantial but offer a really nice smooth ride. I got the 1.85 version so they almost look like Cruiser tires. The reflective sidewalls are a nice touch. Overall very happy with the purchase

strong multipurpose tire

Seems like a very good tire both for paved and unpaved surfaces, but be aware that 1.6 refers to the width of the tire. The tire is 2.1 high making for clearance problems on some bikes (including the one I intended to use it on.

Thank you for your feedback.

Pretty good tire but not totally puncture proof

A good looking, smooth rolling tire.

I mounted a pair on my Cruzbike T50 and withing the 1st block I had a flat.

A tiny glass shard had gotten through.

Since then I have put appx. 400 miles on them on not another puncture.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tire for Both Pavement and Off-Road

My bicycle is a few years old, so I was somewhat limited in my new tire choices, however, these tires are proving to be just right. They roll smoothly on the pavement and hold up really well on off-road terrain. I ride across rocky dirt paths as well as roads and sidewalks. I'm very happy with this set!
