The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Michelin Country Rock Tire - 26 x 1.75:
I used this tire as a commuting tire back in 2002, 2003 time frame. I think it was called the Wildgripper Rock then. I really liked the tire on pavement and hard pack greenways. It was always solid on wet pavement. After three flats from road debris, in short order, I switched away from this tire to the Michelin Transworld City which is puncture-resistant and I'm now riding on the Continental Travel Contact with puncture-resistance. I've gone four years without a commuting flat now so I'm sold on pushing the extra weight around.
My only complaint with the Country Rock was the flats, otherwise I would not have looked elsewhere. If your situation doesn't require the extra protection (extra weight) then these are a great choice.

I commute on pavement regularly in frequently wet and rainy conditions. The tire is great in the rain and rolls smoothly. I have experienced two problems with durability - cuts from glass which led to punctures, and dry rot on the side walls - I switch over to studs in the winter and stored my last pair of country rocks indoors for the winter. This spring revealed dry rot cracks in the sidewalls which produced a sidewall blowout/flat in a couple of weeks.

These are great tires, so great in fact that they were stolen off of my bike wheels and all just a week after I bought them.
These tires were the perfect commuting tires and I never had flats like the other reviewer. I ride 10 miles a day to work and these are very dependable tires.

tires have given excellent service over 2 years and 2000 miles. Very little wear - good for at least another 1000.

out of all the tires ive had on my trek 4500 so far these is by far the best. I mainly stay to the road, harder trails and field crossings to get where im going through town. i come from a big BMX freestyle background and these tires can take a good 4ft drop without a problem. they get alittle slippy in wet mud/clay but there not knobbys so this is expected. ive had no problems with flats and have put about 350-400 miles on them so far with out problems. i wish they made these in a 2.0 or at least a 1.90

I converted my mountain bike into a commuter bike ~4 years ago, and I've been purchasing these tires every year or so as replacements when the previous set is worn out. These Michelin tires roll smoothly and are a big improvement over the knobby mud tires. They are light-weight and roll very easily. The price is right too, as these are relatively inexpensive.
The Country Rock tire lacks puncture resistance, but I have only had flats on rare occasions. Additionally, my commute is short (~4 miles each way) so I can tolerate that rare flat tire.
I'm looking forward to upgrading to the Michelin City Tire, which has a different tread and puncture resistance, just to compare it to the Country Rock. In the meantime, I'm very happy with these tires.

Comments about Michelin Country Rock Tire - 26 x 1.75:
I am pretty new to MTB'ing bike I bought came with a 2.14" WTB Raptor tire. Since I am new and mostly just ride around streets and paths I dont need an aggressive tire. I found I had near zero coasting ability, which was great for the exercise part, but drained on the enjoyment. I decided to try these since the cost was low. Wow what a difference, adds about 2mph across my normal rides. Its more enjoyable to ride now and I ride more and longer. Think ice skating vs. walking through two feet of water. They are very light, which equals thin, but I have not had any punctures yet. If I was a serious commuter I would probably spend more on a tougher tire, as the flat excuse is only going to go so far at work.

ive put about 200 miles on this tire so far and it seems to be doing well. im using it primarily as my commuting / road tires on my mtb. the first thing i noticed was good low rolling resistance. this past wknd i did a metric century on these tires and they held up very well, besides the two flats that i got (all on paved roads...). the tire carcass doesnt have much of flat protection. if they did, they'd probably be much heavier. other than that, these are pretty good tires.
