Studded snow tires provide superior traction in winter but can be noisy and harmful to roads and health.
The GP5000 S TR is the all-rounder, balancing weight and protection for a fast but durable (and puncture protected) ride. Designed for general purpose road riding, the new size lets you push the boundaries of what "all road" really means. And the increased volume means you can run lower pressures for more traction and comfort while doing so.
Wild Enduro Performance Line Michelin's Wild Enduro Performance Line features a double-ply 33 TPI casing, providing a more consistent rebound and ride feel. They use both compounds-Magi-X and Gum-X-together for rolling efficiency and cornering grip. The tires offer high puncture protection with a bead-to-bead shield helping to protect against sidewall punctures. Pinch flats are guarded against with Michelin's Pinch Protection technology, allowing for higher levels of reliability in varying terrain.
ReTyre's unique 'carbon-neutral' tire tech looks set to make big inroads in performance and real-world availability, thanks to a new development partnership with Vittoria and a fresh round of venture capital investment. Together, the funding and Vittoria collaboration will help ReTyre expand production of their pioneering sustainable tires. And it signals a shift from making tires for less-demanding applications like kids' bikes and strollers, stepping up to make durable, high-performance eco tires for everyday urban and commuting bikes and ebikes.
