Having purchased a used Trek 750 in great shape, the first task was to replace the Armadillo Slicks with tires suited to my commuting and light tail riding. Having used Michelin World tours for years for city commuting on my touring bike, I took a leap of faith and purchased the World Tour 700c. They were an ideal fit for my purposes. The raised center ridge and excellent shoulder shoulder protection were a joy. A ten mile City ride to my favorite trail, a six mile lap on the trail, and the return trip were handled with speed and confidence. The reflective side stripe are an added plus at a price that made these tires a terrific value.
