Michelin Pro4 Endurance (£38.99)
Previously only available in 23 and 25mm widths, tyre giants Michelin have added a 28mm option to their Pro4 Endurance line up for 2015.
They’re aimed as training tyres and are one of our favourites (read the full review) thanks to the balance of puncture protection, grip and rolling resistance. The dual compound construction combines a harder, durable central section made to resist wear, and a grippy material on the sides to improve contact with the road, retain sidewall rigidity and boost cornering.
In the puncture protection stakes, these are pretty heavy hitters. They feature Michelin’s HP protection technology which is high density crossed fibre reinforcement over the whole casing of the tyre – called bead to bead – which is a big bonus as many tyres don’t come with puncture protection in the sidewalls, making those sections more vulnerable, especially if you’re riding on debris-covered roads.
