Michelin Krylion back?
Saw Nashbar offering Michelin Krylion tires again!With discount about $30 delivered each so I grabbed 2 as they were always my favorite tire and couldn't understand why they were discontinued.Here to stay?

I doubt it. I think going forward the Pro 4 Endurance is the replacement.
But from time to time Nashbar, Performance and others will likely be closing out a few Krylions.

Nashbar seems to uncover and list some NOS stuff. They had a 6600G brake caliper the other day. That's gotta be 5-6 years old.

I bought a set a couple of weeks ago from Performance. Very good price. My tires were manufactured in the last week of March of this year so they are not "NOS". They are reissued.

They don't appear to be listed on the website anymore.

I have a couple of them on my bike now that I bought a year or so ago. One of them seems to be more cut prone than I remember the "old" ones being. Not sure if the quality slipped or I just got a bad tyre.

Nashbar must have just got them, they had none when I bought mine from Perf. I searched and found them absolutely nowhere else on the internet. Nashbar only has red 23's. Performance has grey/black in both sizes. I'll probably snag up a couple more pair since I don't know if this is just a limited production.

I ordered some from Performance last week when they were on sale for under $30, but haven't received them yet. I really like the 25's, they are a great performing tire and IMO wear better then the more expensive Pro 4 Endurance.

After this season this 3rd year Krylion set of 23's will be worn out. I would buy another set. Definately. Light, fast and good riding tire of quality.

I bought a bunch from probikekit.com earlier this year. Super tire for the money.
