Michelin pro4 endurance

Nothing to do with difficulty, more fear!

With a dash of laziness!

fear of what? Laziness I can appreciate, being sloth like myself

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

And sharks.

And lions.

And spiders in Australia...

...well, the fear list is quite long but Im sure bike tyres are not on it.

Egg mayonnaise for me Tyres are far less terrifying

Well I fitted the tyres this evening, took me less than an hour to do both...even managed to get the chain etc back on after it came off while trying to refit the rear.

Was actually very straightforward, just needed to be patient. Doing 100km on them on Sunday so we shall see how they go

Is there anything specific needs to be done to bed in new tyres? They were a bit squeaky when I rode up the road to check the gears and brakes were working etc

Im considering the service course version, anyone got experience?

I'm currently running their predecessors (krylions) on my best bike in 25c and really like them, not the easiest to get on the rim tbh but that might depend on the rims you have.

Had a visit early on when they were used on my CX to make it a 'beefed up road bike' but nothing in the last 700 miles since I put them on this bike.

Have just bought some Pro4 Endurance in 23c for when these wear out

What do the Pro4 Endurance have over the Durano plus ?

Lighter, faster, cheaper.
D+ are my No1 choice for the commuter though, much tougher.

I am looking for something faster than the durano plus for summer training to put on my new wheels, but have to be p fairy proof so you reckon these will fit the bill ?

Will still use the durano plus for winter/crap weather though.

Ribble seem to be about the cheapest place if happy with 23mm in grey or red

Thanks I am going to see if my LBS has any first as I have £60 credit there and these are the only things I want at the moment, but failing that I will get them from Ribble

I think they are around £35 RRP (Evans wanted £34 before I price matched)

Ordered from ribble along with AHEM some other stuff as you do.

So I thought I would report back.

I got a pair of Pro 4 Endurance tyres from ribble, I was going to save them for some wheels I am having built but I was swapping wheels tonight for some Shimano R501's I got cheap from Ribble to make do till my wheels are finished and I noticed that the back one was worn out so I thought I might as well try the Pro 4's out.

They are a hell of a lot easier to fit than the Durano's are so here they are on my bike and I will report back when I have had a few rides on them:
