These things are sweet they look good, feel good, and make my daily journey much easier. Recommended to run on higher psi. I weigh 185 and found that these worked the best at about 55-60 psi.
Plus :
- Decreased rolling resistance
- Thick tread surface
- Looks
Minus:
- Weight

This tire is great for the road and can be used off-road as well. I'm using this on my mountain-bike for communting to work and I also use it to do some trail riding. A very nice tire for the value.

My mountain bike came with Panaracer tubless tires and I refuse to go back to a tubed tires. This has a long lasting treads and handles well in all terains. Now that I have tubeless on my bike I've never had a flat. The price for these tires fits my budget as well.

Shimano PD-M424 SPD Pedal (9/16-Inch, Black/Silver) Review

I agree with a couple of other reviews. These are called dual use and it says you don't need to clip in. This is true. I agree that it is not as comfortable to ride when you aren't clipped in (I actually use a softer shoe when I don't clip in and I'm just running a quick errand). These are heavy but I don't notice that on my mountain bike.
I like being able to clip in on both sides so I can just step on my pedals and go and if you are like me then this is probably for you. If you don't mind making sure the pedal is on the proper side then you might be happier with a different pedal.
I find it MUCH easier to unclip by turning my heel in and have to adjust the pedals nearly as loose as possible.

Michelin Country Rock Tire (Black, 26x1.75) Review

It's been a few months since I threw these on both my bike and my wife's. So far we've had no flats, and that includes a lot of curb-hopping, and riding on everything from gravel to urban streets to lawns (shhh, don't tell).
If the majority of your riding is on the asphalt and concrete these tires are a terrific way to improve your rolling resistance. They're a breeze on packed dirt, too. I also find them aesthetically pleasing; the tread looks nicer than some of the more expensive tires, and the logo treatment on the side walls is tasteful and timeless.
Just one word of warning; I read a review somewhere before purchasing these that they out rode some knobbies in gravel. I find this highly unlikely. My first week or so on these I came tearing into some gravel at a little bit of an angle and woah, boy, did that get my heart rate up.
Also, I can only give the tires four stars because, while I haven't had any flats, they offer no flat protection.
Overall this is a great, cheap way for you to speed up a mountain bike, and stave off those urges you get every time you stroll by that road cycle in the bike shop.
Don't think I didn't see you.
