Purchase more and save. We are excited to offer these convenient 2-packs of Michelin Power Competition Tires at a great price. Both tires come in standard retail packaging.
The Power Competition tire from Michelin is now their race-level clincher. At just 195 grams in a 700x23, weight won't be an issue, and with advancements in both casing and rubber compound technology made by the French tire giant, the overall characteristics of grip, protection and rolling resistance have been improved over the Pro4 Service Course. Independent testing by the Wheel Energy lab in Finland demonstrates a 10 watt improvement in rolling resistance from the Pro4. Research and development appears to have paid off.
Multi-ply casings aren't new and the Power series tires all feature 3-ply construction. The variations per tire at the casing level are from the thread per inch count with the Competition featuring 180 tpi plies. That construction uses incredibly fine fibers that offer a wonderfully supple casing that allows the rider to have a pure feel from the pavement, which is crucial for handling, cornering, and true rider confidence. At the same time, the tire isn't meant to deform much, as the low volume casing carries a new rubber compound Michelin simply refers to Race Compound. Nothing complicated here. Fast rolling, with the measurably low resistance and an impeccable dry grip, an ideal racing clincher. While not ideal for wet conditions, you will surprised at how well the slick tire manages in the wet as well. Historical Michelin riders will appreciate the advancements from the older Comp race clincher. The only indentation in the tread is a simple tread wear indicator.... Read More
