If nothing else, those have the coolest looking tread design I've seen. Haven't seen those before; from what I've read about Michelin bike tires though, would expect them to be good. Too bad they aren't sized to fit any of my wheels.

Well can't really say they are definitely better than the dunlops in performance but I can say, they are at least AS good.
So if they last longer, I'll stay with em.

Gonna go ahead and put a new front on it though. No real noticeable difference in ride having them mixed...that I can tell anyway. I'm getting minor cupping on the old dunlop once I really checked it out so off it goes and I'll be all michelin soon.
