Pro4

Brand: Michelin

The Michelin Pro4 is a folding-bead road clincher listed in the brand's 2012 catalogue, where it took over from the PRO3 Race at the heart of the performance road range. Its 110 TPI casing carries a dual-compound tread, harder in the centre and grippier on the shoulders, under a high-density nylon breaker. A sharper profile was adopted to work on handling and contact patch. Four sizes were offered: 20-622 and 23-571 at 185 g, 23-622 at 200 g and 25-622 at 215 g, all rated for 6 to 8 bar. The 23-622 came in several colours.
