Purchased 6 of these, 4 for two road bikes with 2 for spares. After less than 500 miles on relatively smooth surfaced roads the 700x32 rear tire on my Trek hybrid developed a bulge in the tread area about 1/4" high and 3" long with a very noticeable distortion in the tread. Obviously it thumped quite badly which is how I discovered it. After changing it I could not find any separation of the casing inside the tire, just a weak area that you could push out easily with your finger. These tires are serviced correctly prior to each ride with the maximum rated psi (87). Could just be an isolated incident but now I am questioning the safety of these as I ride 100% by myself out in rural areas.

These tires are great. I've put about 450-500 miles on them and so far they're wearing far less than the stock Kendas that came on my bike.

They handle surprisingly well on wet roads and on Chicago's notoriously treacherous steel grate surfaced bridges, even at a 25cm tire width. It took 3 months of riding to get my first flat, which is awesome. However, I then got 2 flats (front and rear) in the same day. Front due to 2-3 glass shards completely embedded in the rubber, which I'm pretty diligent about checking for so they couldn't have taken long to work their way in, and the rear due to the rubber actually being split/cut perpendicular to the circumference of the tire. The front is fine to keep riding, but given the depth of the split of the rear, it had to be replaced.

I have replaced 6 tubes in 3 months. These tires puncture very easily. I would not buy these tires ever again. GARBAGE

Tires have held up better than the stock tires I was given. No flats and showing no signs of stopping.

I was having trouble with the tires on my road bike. Did some research and found these tires. I am very pleased with them. Thank you... T Kolodziejczyk

I thought I was saving money by purchasing an inexpensive tire and I trusted the name Michelin because of their reputation.
WRONG!
Rode 200 miles and already had three punctures from goatheads.
The rubber is very soft, hence becomes magnet for debris and thorns.
At this rate, I will have to dole out $60 on tubes alone by 1000 mile mark.
The initial amount I saved up front does not offset the upkeep cost of replacing the tubes.

I will replace it with a gatorskin from probikekit for 30 bux, even though this Michelin shows no sign of wear.

As a comparison, I rode 600 miles on Continental super sport and ultra 2000 with zero flats.
The super sport is still on the rear wheel while the Michelin is on the front, and guess what?
Still no flats on the Continental, even though statistically rears are more prone to flats due to higher weight support.
Continentals are also budget tires btw.

I guess it's fine for fooling around your neighbors, but inappropriate for commuters such as myself.
If you ignore my warning, and still decide to pick one up, the tire runs a bit wide, hence you may wish to step down a size.

Don't waste your time. Other tires will get me 1500 miles. This one, I almost got to 200 before flats became an ongoing issue.

I bought two of these tires a few months ago. I had Michelin tires before and I liked them because they lasted a long time. These two had Michelin logo but were made in Taiwan. I did not know if it would make any difference if I knew. I am a recreational rider. I only put in about 100 miles a week. Thus, if there was a difference in rolling resistance between these tires and others, I wouldn't be able to tell. The tires fit well on my rims. I put them on without needing any tools. I wore my riding gloves when I did that. The tires felt very smooth and balanced. The rubber did felt soft comparing to the older Michelin tires I had. I put on about 400 miles now and I had not seen any sign of wear yet. I think they will last 1000 miles easy. The price was very low comparing to other tires. In all, I was pleased with these tires. Good products for the money.

I rode 2300 road miles on a set of Michelin Dynamic 700/28Cs before the first puncture, so I was definitely due one! When properly maintained (i.e. correctly fitted and not over inflated) these are excellent tyres with durability that puts several other manufacturers products to shame.

These tires are an excellent replacement for those stock tires for your bike. I can't comment on the life of these yet, as they're barely a week old, but so far they are doing their job adequately. If you're low on money, but you're experiencing a lot more flats than you used to and/or are losing traction on your rides a bit more frequently, I HIGHLY recommend these, if at least to hold you over until you can buy some more expensive ones!
