MichelinProtek Cross 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

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.

Great tire great custermer service. Plan on getting Michilins for my other bikes. Informed other riders to buy from Biketiresdirect. They wont regret it.

Great tires, fast delivery

these tires are at a great price!

I am a year round bicycle commuter in Chicago where the roads are often terrible. I have ridden on many different tires. These tires by far are the most comfortable and fastest I have experienced. I love them. If they have one weakness it is in slushy snow where they just don't do as well as a knobby tire.

Put them on a fitness bike to do gravel paths and such. Also smoothed out the ride on the road from the 'road tire' I had before. Not trying to win a peloton or anything' so works for me

What a deal! This is a lot of tire for the money. I put them on my LiteSpeed T5G when I started riding more gravel. They are not a feather weight but I dont think about the weight of my tires when Im miles away from my car or garage. So far no flats (about 750 miles) including lots of trash covered pavement and very rocky trails. Im a Clydesdale 220s so they really get a workout. The 33s are a bit wider and I run them pretty close to max psi. Lots of value here!

The Michelin Protek Cross 700c Tire i bought was amazing. I used it for 2 month now. Still in good shape. Used it for work almost everyday. i would buy it again

NEVER HAVE A FLAT FOR MONTS. THE OTHER TIRES I BOUGHT 3 DAYS ONLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT FLAT ALREADY

ITS TERRIBLE. BUT TIRES DIRRECT I WILL GIVE IT 10/THANK YOU EXXELENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

The tires arrived in a reasonable amount of time and are performing great.

I ride a fitness bike daily on a combination of paved roads, gravel roads and natural surface trails and these tires devour everything I throw at them. Fast and quiet on paved roads, they also provide ample traction and stability on unimproved surfaces.

To top it off, they are resistant to flats and last for several thousand miles of demanding cycling. I highly recommend the MICHELIN PROTEK CROSS 700C TIRE for those who ride hard and fast on multiple surface types.

Decent tire for the money. Comfortable (at 60 psi) and good in the city streets snow.

One of my pair had the sidewall fail after 2500 miles. Not happy about that but I replaced the tire because the other one had very moderate wear. Oh well.

I ride 4+ miles, 5 days a week and say - what is not to like?

I've had these on for over a month now and I'm super happy with them. They're on my very heavy, bombproof commuter that I ride daily everywhere, including the alleyways in Portland so my young kids can experience "gravel." The install was super easy, they've been trouble free, and I would definitely buy them again. The price is right, they're durable, and they're easy to install. Outfit your commuter bike today!

I ride 40 miles a day on Chicago streets. I'm on my second set of these tires (first set on another bike). They are very comfortable and almost impervious to glass. Great tires.

I used to be a devotee of Schwalbes, but these are definitely a more economical alternative. As I no longer commute by bike (working from home) I'm using these tires as bulletproof winter training tires. They are not plush gravel grinding tires. They are not grippy racing tires. They're hard-wearing, thick treads you ride because fixing a flat in winter is Not Fun At All. Additionally, I think the tread is capable of some light gravel andor mud, but I haven't proven this theory.
