According to tests they seem to offer very low rolling resistance and average (not so bad) puncture protection. I am not sure about mileage anyway but should be a lot better than Corsa Speed.
I am considering GP5000 for my new wheels too, but Michelins with latex tubes are very tempting. They should be one of the fastest clinchers availible.

Anyone ride them on a regular road bike? What is the durability, puncture protection and real width of 23mm version?

Thanks

I started using these tires after yet another side wall cut/defect on gp5000. Front tire is 23 and measures 24mm on an older zipp 404 rim. I have about 4500 miles on it. Still tread left. No flats, but I rarely get flats anyway. Rear tire is 25, measures 27mm. They are fast tires and work for me.

Only Vittoria and Veloflex are quicker. A shame they don't make them with a tan wall

Thanks how quickly do these wear (on the rear) and how's the grip? Thinking about using them on my road race wheelset.

@cajer: I thought it´s my topic. Only joking :mrgreen:

@Feltar1: Thanks, that´s what I wanted to hear. What´s the inner width of your Zipps?

Anyone have measured 23mm Michelins on 19c internal width rims? I need them to be under 25mm to obey the 105% rule.

Never heard of them before but they look like the best race clinchers on paper. I think I´m going to try them.
