A better way forward...for your bicycle.
There are lots of bicycle tires out there to choose from. The Michelin Pilot Sport is an exceptional tire, because it takes what the streets and sidewalks dish out, and plows right over them with ease. The tread is designed for the road, and bears a slight resemblance to the tread on Michelin motorcycle tires. That same tread rolls fast and quiet, and judging from a recent 20-mile ride on a combination of paved trails and uneven, broken-glass-littered sidewalks, the Protek HD flat protection system seems to be doing what it was designed to do.
The only thing I would change on these great tires is purely aesthetic...I could personally do without the reflective sidewall. I think that a more "street" look with the current Michelin Pilot Sport label would look much better. Aside from that, this is a very fast, very slick-looking & tough commuter tire that would also do well on the open road
