Michelin Country Rock Tire (Black, 26x1.75) Reviews
| 31 of 32 people found the following review helpful  Affordable and fast, By This review is from: Michelin Country Rock Tire (Black, 26x1.75) (Sports) It's been a few months since I threw these on both my bike and my wife's. So far we've had no flats, and that includes a lot of curb-hopping, and riding on everything from gravel to urban streets to lawns (shhh, don't tell).If the majority of your riding is on the asphalt and concrete these tires are a terrific way to improve your rolling resistance. They're a breeze on packed dirt, too. I also find them aesthetically pleasing; the tread looks nicer than some of the more expensive tires, and the logo treatment on the side walls is tasteful and timeless. Just one word of warning; I read a review somewhere before purchasing these that they out rode some knobbies in gravel. I find this highly unlikely. My first week or so on these I came tearing into some gravel at a little bit of an angle and woah, boy, did that get my heart rate up. Also, I can only give the tires four stars because, while I haven't had any flats, they offer no flat protection...

Get these!, By This review is from: Michelin Country Rock Tire (Black, 26x1.75) (Sports) I like the Country Rock tires because they are a more comfortable alternative to stock MTB knobby tires. They roll smoother and quieter than knobbies, and are marvelous on limestone rail trails. The only downside is that they have no integrated flat protection system, and the tread design tends to attract and hold on to shards of glass and miscellaneous tube-puncturing road debris. For me, that yielded three flats in a very short amount of time. If one were to utilize either Slime tubes or tire liners with the Country Rocks, you'd probably go for a long time without a flat.Aside from the vulnerability to flats, I rode the Country Rocks on the first day of RAGBRAI 2008 (59 miles) without incident, and on a separate occasion, pedaled five miles on a flat Country Rock after the front tube was punctured by a sharp object on a limestone rail trail and I forgot an extra tube. The flat "rock" survived and never separated from the rim, but I replaced it with another "rock"...

I put tire liners and presta valve tubes in, and its a great combination. March 31, 2007... maybe not a five star...the tube started bulging out the weak sidewall...then a blowout...replaced the tube, now the same thing at 35 lbs. so I re-tucked in the tire into the rim...will see what happens. Weak or "too flexible" sidewalls? |
