Michelin Krylion Carbon Road Tyre Review - BikeRadar

i use these as a winter training tyre in the 700 x 25 runat 95-100 psi get a bit of comfort and great grip, and the puncture fairy really struggles to make an impression on them, great all round tyres

was the water spray really necessary..?

@Pseudonym: That's not water, it's drool. The wheel was fitted to a "halo" bike.

What's up with the stupidly long valve?

Excellent tyres, a couple of thousand miles on mine and no problems at all.

Isn't in true that Michelin are discontinuing the Krylion Carbon tyres though?

The best winter tyres I have used. The puncture resistant is excellent and they are pretty fast. Great value too as they last for ever. Good enough for summer usage really, although I do tend to use MIchelin Pro Race 3s in the summer.

A+ tyres

They are discontinuing many of the top line tires including this one, but they are planning an all new model within the Pro 4 line called Pro 4 Endurance. You can see details on their website here: www.michelinbicycletire.com/michelinbicycle/index.cfm?event=roadracing.view

The Pro Optimum(rear) is a better rear tire than the Krylion is. It just does everything better, and NO, it slips through the wind just as well as any 23mm tire. (the rear wheel is so far past a clean airflow it's pretty much impossible to help no matter what you do)
