Michelin Premium Bike Tires Product Line: Hi I’m Monica Davis with Michelin North America I’m the sales and marketing manager for the bicycle products that we have here. I want to talk about three tires in our premium road line. The Pro 3 Race, Curly and Carbon and the Lithium. These products are fantastic and there great for your road bikes. On the Pro 3 Race this is our race tire, this is the tire that you’ll see at the Tour of De France for example. This product comes in a 23C, 650, 720, up to a 25. This years model what we have done is dual compounded across the surface. We have a grip compound in the shoulder and 20% more sticky in the middle. What you will find is if your heading into a corner, hard lean angle you got a lot more grip confidence in that product. That’s our Pro 3 Race and it comes in a amazing ray of colors, so we can match just about any bike that’s out there. The Curling and Carbon is one of our longest lasting road tires, being it ahs a high thread count it allows it also to be very subtle. This has carbon reinforced under the tread and a bead to bead puncture protection. This product is fantastic and it will last you a long time you will certainly be pleased with it. The last premium tire in our road line up is our Lithium. This product was modeled after our Pro 2 Race so it has a similar color pattern in it. You’ll find it in the same array of colors as our Pro Line in the past. The digital blue which is primarily our race color, along with several others. You’ll enjoy this tire for both a everyday regular trainer as well as if you want to take it out on a weekend race it will perform for you very well. Thanks again I’m Monica with Michelin.
Michelin Importance Of Tire Pressure Explained
Michelin Importance Of Tire Pressure Explained: Hi I’m Monica with Michelin North America sales and marketing manager for our bicycle product line. I want to talk to you about briefly about tire pressure and the importance of it in the Michelin road tires. This is specifically in Michelin product line so keep in mind that you’ll have to refer to your manufacture for the proper pressure. On Michelin products when you purchase it on the back of the packaging we have the tire pressure available to you. It goes by rider weight and then below you’ll see the pressure you need to be at, the PSI or bars either way. Its important for road tires that you have the proper pressure because the tire is designed to have a certain about of deflection and if the tire doesn’t absorb the objects in the road your actually increasing or decreasing your rolling existence. If you go to high in your tire pressure you’ll actually be bouncing on the surface of the road and all that momentum that your putting in the pedals and pushing yourself forward is know being used to keep you on the road instead of moving forward. In addition if your too low in your tire pressure your absorbing way to much and your going to be a little sluggish and quite slow. So keep this mind when you purchase a Michelin product take the back of the packaging or take a little look and make sure with your dealer that you check the pressure with your section with. This is very important for you to understand, I hope you ride safe out there and have a good time. I’m Monica with Michelin North America.
