In a quest for a more durable tire, Michelin spent years refining and reformulating to come up with the Michelin Krylion Carbon Tire. It had to be durable, check. It had to be reliable, check. It had to provide a nice, smooth ride, check.
Specifically designed for touring fans, long distance racers and triathletes, the Michelin Krylion Carbon has a fast-rolling, smooth carbon reinforced tread and five ply casing for extra puncture resistance. Michelin was serious about durability when they created the Michelin Krylion Carbon. Not only is it reinforced with an HDDP fabric to improve puncture resistance and flexibility, but the center tread is further refined with a carbon black compound, used specifically to reduce cracking and premature wear.
The Michelin Krylion Carbon follows a great line of tires with fantastic performance. For this particular model, Michelin took the successful Michelin Pro2 Race tire and improved the durability by an astounding 30%. Can you imagine getting more than 3500 miles on a set of tires? The Michelin Krylion Carbons deliver that and more.
In our experience with the Michelin Krylion Carbon tires we give it high marks in grip, durability, and puncture resistance. It is not as soft a tire as the Pro2 Race, however that is the sacrifice made in giving you every last mile possible.
If you're going to race and train on the same pair of tires, these are the tires.
