Michelin Pro 3 tyres - becoming scarce?

[Globalti]

I like these tyres but will concede that they cut up pretty badly. Despite this I am happy to continue using them before switching to Pro 4s (are they really much better all round?) so I'm looking around for deals.

Am I right in thinking that Michelin have stopped making them? Does this mean stocks are now dwindling? Since they will always sell to people like me I guess there won't be much discounting going on - the best I can find is Ribble at £22.50 each.

Ribble also have Pro 4s at £22.52 - maybe I should just get with the times and try a set?

Given the Pro 4s are 2p more expensive, why wouldn't you just use those instead? I don't recall the Pro 3s ever being less than £20...

They will have stopped making them.

I'm still using Pro 3's myself but will move on when my current set wear out.

Not sure about whether Pro 4's will be any better - but they upped the prices at the same time as it was introduced...

I am a Michelin Krylion fan, but as these are no more I have just ordered and received a set of Pro 4 Endurance tyres. I'll post a review once I've got some miles on them.

I have some pink pro3's in my junk box, I wonder how long they'll stay there....

Pro 4s are very good

I don't understand this - just use Pro4s. Although you might not notice a difference, you should be confident that they wont be worse!!!

Better still, start using Vredestein Fortezza tri comps or Conti GP4000S!

I was hoping to find some Pro 3s at bargain prices.

Never mind, I've just ordered some Pro 4s from Ribble at £22.53 each then entered the competition on the Michelin website to win two more, that will make them a bargain.

They're more comfortable and grippier it seems! Not sure if they are faster, they are slightly larger cross section though.

I've got some orange pro3s with little very little wear on 'em if you want 'em. 20 squiddlies.

I have switched to pro 4 comps. Compared to the pro 3's they are a revelation. Recommended.

Decathlon were advertisjng pro3 at 20each or 2 for 30 kwids.

Received the Pro4s and tried them up the street last night at the usual pressure of 110. First impression is that they feel no faster but a lot more comfortable.
