Michelin Pro4 ENDURANCE V2
Any one have any hands on experience with the Michelin Pro4 ENDURANCE V2??
the reviews look good
I have the pro4 service course and they are great riding and handling tires, but between a couple of flats and looking at the tread wear I don't think the are my best choice for commutting.... no matter how fun. I knew this going in so am not complaining.
thanks

I have Michelin Pro4 ENDURANCE tires on 2 of my bikes. They're not V2, they're the prior version, but I think they're great tires. They do run a little big, like Lazyass said. I replaced some Continental Gatorskins with these. They seem to have less rolling resistance that the Contis did and I get a hell of a lot fewer flats with the Michelins.

I can confirm my Pro4 at 25mm are huge...closer to 28

I use these when flat protection is a priority. They do everything well. Flat resistance is equal to Gatorskins, I have two sets and I've never had a flat. Very durable. Good traction and an acceptable ride quality. These are stiffer at higher psi, so if you value a super plush ride and super low rolling resistance these are not the first option. However, they offer a optimal blend of qualities.
