BikeRadar verdict

3 out of 5 stars

"Good protective base, but the tread leaves a lot to be desired"

By Guy Kesteven

While it has impressive puncture protection for its weight, the AT is jack of All Terrains but the master of none. Its slow and slippery performance limits it to those rare locations here its tread pattern actually works.

The combination of widely spaced, well buttressed knobs certainly isn’t fast, with a definite growl and drag on harder surfaces. Despite their individual aggression, there aren’t enough knobs to hold on to traction either, resulting in a ride that’s only predictable in its slipperiness.

Cornering and off- camber grip is pretty non-existent, too, even on the soft-compound versions we’ve tried. On the bright side though, the reinforced carcass feels impressively sturdy and protected – it just deserves a more UK-centric tread pattern.

    Guy, i live in a place were this tire somehow ,shines!

    This Mountain A.T. really bites on loose/muddy conditions. The casing is superb, this reinforced thing works great and is 1000 times better that "ProTection" from Continental Diesel.

    Cornering... Well, the problem is that this is meant to be used on a track and not on a flat ground. Turning on a flat surface at high speed is suicide, specially when A.T. used front.

    The traction is ok on the way up and also rolls ok when comparing A.T. against Schwalbe NN 2.4", Continental Gravity and Ritchey MotoVader 2.4" Pro.

    For 29.99€, 831g, 4-ply /3-ply, 60a rubber, Michelin brought us a great enduro tire! Best used on rear wheel.

    P.S. - That place is Portugal.
