I was getting flats too often, now with Michelin Protek Cross no flats thus far, grippy, safe feeling and still low rolling resistance.
I ride mostly on side of paved roads and paved bike trails which have loose dirt and gravel at some areas.

Does not handle the pressure needed for an ebike, so they should not be branded as an ebike

This tire is perfect for the store and pecan hunting. I ride mostly on but occasionally off road and these tires just eat it up! I've got about 700 miles on them with little signs of wear, and only in the rear tire. At under $XXea. buy them by the 12 dozen. I'm riding the 40mm, I like a good thick tire, they roll good. I always try to inflate to the max. They are cushy and bouncy, they look great too. I haven't found anything yet not to like about these tires.

The product is good but if you need something soon, better shop somewhere else. My latest order, shipped usps priority has been sitting in limbo for several days. Not happy.

So far, I am satisfied with these tires I am using for my hybrid.
As it is still early in the season here in New England, I haven't had a chance to yet use off road.
My bike mechanic installed the tires and of note, he mentioned they were difficult to seat on the rims so I don't expect to change a flat by myself. Hopefully, I won't need to!

Loves these tires. All around perfect for pavement and works equally well on gravel

First time user of ProtexCross. So far so good, on my Giant Roam hybrid, no complaints. Got them on sale!

The Michelin Proteck Cross tire is a very durable and comfort riding tire for my Colnago Impact flat bar gravel bike. For riding road and trail surfaces I find this tire a highly reliable. It is a very grippy tire in tight turns and offering a fast rolling performance. This is a winner tire IMHO.

500 hundred miles into a tour from Portland to San Francisco the sidewall separated from
the bead. These were new tires when i started the tour with maybe 100 miles on them.
Lucky for me that I had brought a folding spare tire.

These handle great on problem roads. Gravel ridden winter bike lanes, glassy areas, no problem. One of my routes had a diversion that led me into thoseunincorporated non paved roads. I was glad I was in the bike with these tires. You do want to check your tire pressure. If they get a little soft you will kill yourself trying to get them to roll. They don't grip hills as well as my smooth road tires, I have to work alot harder to get up them, but hey, better workout, right? I got the 35's, which is what came on my bike, but these are bigger and I couldn't fit my fenders. You will not make any freinds with the amount of spray these give off on wet roads. I've been riding without fenders on these for a while, and I've had enough. I'm sizing down to get my fenders back on. Otherwise, given the mixed terrain and conditions I face in my declining city, I think these are the best trade off for security. I've been on them for 4 months now and not a single flat. Even though I've ridden over glass, gravel, branches, other things strewn in the bike lane. I always avoid the stuff when I can, but most often it's not possible.

Title says most. 35's too wide for front fork on Trek Domane SL6, 32's are fine. Great deal, fast delivery. Gives peace of mind for urban road debris while providing good off-road traction and confidence.

I used on my cycle camping trip from Pittsburgh to DC 340 miles or dirt and mud and some sharp rocks with 45 lbs on back of bike(that's where the tire was mounted).. No flats or mounting problems!

I ride a 7 mile circuit around the block I live on. It's all paved but a lot of it is course aggregate strewn with loose gravel. A few miles are on the shoulder of an Interstate highway, littered with broken glass and debris that falls off 18 wheelers. About 23 rds is on farm to market roads, again littered with glass and debris. Before buying these tires, I averaged a flat about every 75 miles and tires only lasted about 300 miles. Very frustrating and expensive. I have over 400 miles on these tires and they show no signs of wear. I have had several flats but they were due to tube failures (separation of the inner seam). 700x35 60 psi, smoothes out the road. I am 6'1, 230 and ride from 7 to 21 miles up to 5 times a week.

I use these tires in place of the Panaracer Panacella, which apparently are not available in 700c.
The price is fair.
The tire does ride fairly hard.
